Maybe just me and not waking up in the best of moods but i was looking at the new AW USs and noticed someone commented really?! we were doing so good with only love its! Ok going back to not trying to make a big deal.
@wildtot@acunamatada I had to go back and make sure it wasn't me! I was so damn tired last night I was like, zombie posting. Oi. At least its just one!
I haven't been able to muster any UO's. I am going to the grocery store today I'm sure that'll help me come up with one! lol
I don't believe support is blowing smoke up someone, or fully agreeing with everyone and everything. I believe support also includes calling people on their BS. Some of the most supportive people in my life have been the ones to tell it like it is to me.
I also don't think confrontation is a negative thing. I think it is far more dangerous to hold feelings in or simply make passive aggresive remarks (my college roommate who was the post it note queen ) instead of confronting the real issues.
@lindsayleigh1989 AMEN! My dad and I struggle with our relationship because my stepmom is a piece of work and He has to blindly agree with everything she says, right or wrong because they’re “a team.” I think that’s the biggest load of BS. Sometimes being human pushes us to a place where we really need to be reminded that we’re out of line or in the wrong. And I definitely want my spouse to agree with me on things I think are important but it’s a true sign of love if he can put me back in my place (nicely of course). And it works both ways. We work together to keep each other being the best we can be.
I stalk the Names thread just to see if anyone posts our girl's name. It's a classic name so I wouldn't be surprised if other people choose it, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm also getting some great inspiration if we have another boy!
This UO is inspired by a thread I was just reading in a local Facebook mom group I'm in. I think leaving your kid $20 from the tooth fairy is nuts. That's over $600 over the course of childhood, Per kid, just for doing something that the kid didn't actually do because losing a tooth is involuntary! My kid will be lucky if he gets $2 and if he wants $20 he better do something to earn it.
Our friends were staying at our house and their son lost his first tooth while they were there and he got $2 from the tooth fairy and my son lost his later that night so we HAD to give him $2, cuz the tooth fairy wouldn’t give $2 to one and 50¢ To another in the same house. Subsequent teeth I think will only be $1
@Kenya715 I stalk the name thread to try and come up with a girls name. H and I can not agree on a name at all. I’m going with what my daughter says and calling her Sloan number 2
It annoys me when new moms and pregnant women lose their shit when their mother or MIL refers to the baby as "my baby" or "our baby" like it's the biggest offense on earth. Like chill everyone knows it's YOUR baby they're just expressing love and excitement for YOUR child. I see people over react about it on the bump and FB all the time, seems so unnecessary to me.
@runsomewhere agreed! It’s not that big of a deal. Just appreciate someone cares! Especially, when you really think about it, biologically that grandparent is 1/4 of that child..... so they do get to lay some claim. Hahaha.
@runsomewhere I think i'm guilty of saying something like that today...sorry! it was more MIL making the entirety of my pregnancy about her, literally pushing me aside at stuff to be center of shower/celebration, and she used to say "i'm having a baby girl" to people with me standing there that made me feel awk - like no i'm the one puking here lol. People gave her the weirdest reactions to that one. But i'm also a hater of men saying "we're pregnant" so kind of related. I think it's one of the not what you say but how you say it things coupled with the specifics of the relationship in question.
My UO is I don't get the big deal about Michelle Williams... saw her live on Broadway doing Caberet and maybe it was just a bad night but the singing was way off and I just don't enjoy her that much as an actress in any of the movies i've seen with her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - ETA: not talking about the whole inequal pay thing - def believe in equal pay - just talking about her talent

My Father-in-Law however (who I am NOT close with and don't have a great relationship with) has started calling me "Mom" which creeps me the eff out.
