zuuls_mom · September 2018

Let's hear 'em, ladies! I feel like this is one topic that definitely gets the love flowing lol.

the dude your opinion GIF

zuuls_mom · September 2018

Ok, I'll start. I feel like this is a super UO, but no shame here. I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT.

peachy13 · September 2018

Haha I love this. I am one of the people who isn't a fan. I can eat like 2-3, but then I'm done. My DH on the other hand can eat an ENTIRE BAG.

GeorgiaGirl1230 · September 2018

@zuuls_mom Me too! With my whole heart! I just got to see her when she came to Atlanta, and thought her show was incredible!

zuuls_mom · September 2018

@GeorgiaGirl1230 I just saw her in May when she came to Denver!! Soooo awesome!

aels12 · September 2018

@zuuls_mom my husband and I just went to see T swift last weekend as our 6th anniversary gift to each other! Hahaha

mrskoz428 · September 2018

What’s a UO??

zuuls_mom · September 2018

@mrskoz428 Unpopular Opinion

k2k2tog · September 2018

So few UOs so far!

@zuuls_mom I’ve got no beef with that! I’ve been known to crank some Taylor when I’m alone in the car.

Here’s mine: kids don’t need super high end stuff and I think sooo many parents get caught up in marketing schemes.

This UO brought to you by back-to-school season and a $60 lunch box.

poshspice · September 2018

@peachy13 I'm with you. Candy corn is delicious.

Here's my UO. I don't love fall. And I don't like pumpkin spice lattes. Flame away, ladies!

k2k2tog · September 2018

@poshspice HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE FALL. We’ve had record high temps the past few days (and of course our newly installed ac isn’t working) so I CANNOT wait for fall to come.

On the other hand, I’ve only ever had 1 PSL and it was way too sweet for me. So we can agree on that one.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

@peachy13 NOOOO! I don't think we can be friends.

@k2k2tog $60 lunchbox?? You have to be kidding me. DD is only 14 months - I’m so not ready for the stage when they want to pick out their own stuff.

I’m not a fan of “screen time”. It seems like kids spend way too much time on their iPad/in front of the TV. Every time I’m at the grocery store there’s a toddler sitting in the cart staring at an iPad. I have friends who literally have the TV on all day every day. I think there’s a time and a place for it, but it’s quite limited in our house and I don’t plan to change that. (I’ll let you know if I’ve changed my tune when I have a 2 year old and newborn! Ha)

jarethinafrock · September 2018

I think throwing your own wedding/baby shower is tacky.

jarethinafrock · September 2018

@secicc12 - I agree that kids these days get a lot of screen time and for the most part I’m against it. I will admit that I let my 21 month old watch YouTube videos last week during my doctor appt so he would sit still...

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

@jarethinafrock A toddler stuck in a doctors office totally warrants a little screen time!

poshspice · September 2018

@k2k2tog I don’t like extra clothing items, so I hate any weather that requires jackets, scarves, etc. I don’t want to keep track of those things when I’m out and about. It’s a burden lol. I loathe winter most of all, of course.

k2k2tog · September 2018

@secicc12 screen time has been pretty well researched and it’s pretty clear that it’s not beneficial to kids’ development. Background screen time is the worst because it distracts from other activities - versus iPads or tablets which involve more interaction. The ‘best’ screen time includes parental involvement, but that’s true about almost everything. There’s an organization called Zero the Three that put out a really informative white paper a couple years ago that breaks it all down really clearly. I can dig it up again if anyone is interested.

All that said, my DDs have almost always had some screen time. We limit as best we can, but sometimes throwing on some Peppa for DD2 and giving DD1 her ‘games’ (aka YouTube kids) is the only way I can get through the day.

mrskoz428 · September 2018

@poshspice I’m with you on the pumpkin spice everything. Not a fan! Just let fall happen. We don’t need to pumpkin-ize everything!

my UO is that pineapple DOES BELONG on pizza!

misskimsue · September 2018

If @poshspice can admit to not liking fall, I can admit I don't like summer. I love fall...and I love jackets and scarves!

jarethinafrock · September 2018

@mrskoz428 I love pineapple on pizza too!

MaggieG183 · September 2018

My UO is not liking coffee. I enjoy the smell, but I hate, despise, loathe the taste. Literally can’t even do a drop. Won’t even eat tiramisu or have a mocha because everything else that is added ISN’T enough to mask the flavor. Blech... because of this, I may be able only teacher on the face of the planet who-graciously-accepts-and-regifts-to-friends-and-family gift cards to coffee shops and doesn’t drink her weight in caffeine in a day.

kels0091 · September 2018

Lol love these.
My UO is in Greys Anatomy, when Deny dies, I dont feel upset in the slightest but feel so sad when the dog 'Doc' dies

zuuls_mom · September 2018

@poshspice but scarves are the best accessory!! I am a scarf fiend. I have like 40 of them. BRING ON SCARF WEATHER!

Not a PSL fan though. I’m a peppermint mocha girl.

poshspice · September 2018

@zuuls_mom I do own quite a few scarves, sweaters, booties, and boots, because I like being warm, don’t get me wrong. But I hate that I need them lol. I hate raking leaves. I hate being cold. I hate that my dogs track dead leaves into the house. I hate that I track dead and crushed up leaves into my car. I hate squirrels burying nuts in my yard, which later grow into small trees and we have to dig them out. Lol I’m such a Scrooge

nerdyteacherlady · September 2018

Joining the PSL hate train here! I think they're disgustingly sweet.
Another UO is that I don't like Starbucks coffee. I'll drink it if it's what's available, but I much prefer Peet's if we're talking about chain coffee.

Haha, I taught before I had kids and I’m not a coffee drinker either (I don’t mind the taste, i just don’t drink caffeine). I used to get soooo many Starbucks giftcards and would just end up giving them to family members who would come visit me (because i didn’t own a coffee maker and they were always going on about NEEDING their morning coffee). When my kids start school, I plan on giving target/michael’s gift cards to their teachers, because that’s what I would have liked.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

@nerdyteacherlady I’m not a Starbucks fan either. Way too strong! Dunkin all the way

MaggieG183 · September 2018

@jarethinafrock now a target gift card...OMG! That would be amazing! We don’t have a Michael’s here but Target!? I would be in heaven!

sparrowsnest22 · September 2018

I used to love PSL, but once I eliminated dairy from my diet, I got sick anytime I drank a PSL. I now live near a Dunkin and would prefer going there over Starbucks.

And + 1 for me on the pineapple pizza, YUM.

My UO is that I can’t stand Cardi B. I just can’t.

mrskoz428 · September 2018

@jarethinafrock @sparrowsnest22 yes! Thank you! Pineapple is so good warm on pizza!

For all you coffee haters, I can only drink it with a decent amount of creamer. This whole “not having caffeine” thing has been a lot easier because of it!

zuuls_mom · September 2018

+1 for pineapple on pizza! Yum!

bpietronicco · September 2018

@MaggieG183 I feel the same way about coffee. Love the smell, hate the taste- even with creamer it doesn’t mask the taste. Anything Kahlua (sp?) even I can’t do! Grew up with a family owned bagel muffin and coffee shop and still can’t stand to drink it!

Yessss! I too like candy corn (in moderation), and in that same vein- I love Peeps! Not just at Easter, but any time of year!

missmcgonnagal · September 2018

@sparrowsnest22 I will go one further: I used to like PSL but I swear Starbucks changed their recipie in the last few years. Within like 2 years of it becoming THE THING I think it tastes like garbage.

I just hope my passion for Apple and cider fall flavors never hits the same mainstream. LET ME HAVE MY NICHE, WORLD.

MalonT23 · September 2018

My UO is that Bethany from Real Housewives of New York has gone off the rails, I am no longer a fan and am team Carole. I realize if you do not watch Bravo this will make no sense to you.

sparrowsnest22 · September 2018

@MegEn1 I agree, apple and cider are what fall is all about. I live near a farm that is known for their apple cider donuts and they are the best! And apple scented candles!

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

@sparrowsnest22 yessss to Apple cider donuts. We went to a farm nearby yesterday and they were all out. MAJOR disappointment.

mrskoz428 · September 2018

@secicc12 @sparrowsnest22 yes to Apple cider donuts! Those are my fall weakness! Can’t wait until our apple orchards and pumpkins patches open! We had devastating flooding these last two weeks so we are a little behind in opening it all up.

Oh god! Barf! But at least it's almost candy corn season for you!

I used to hate coffee, too. That is until after I had my daughter. I think the intense lack of sleep is what made me become dependent on it. Now, I can't function without a couple cups and that's going to be a struggle to cut down now.
But i could never drink it straight black. Definitely needs a good amount of cream.

Same here. I was never much of a coffee person until I had my son. Kid didn't sleep through the night until his 3rd birthday.

I don't know how I'm going to handle cutting back on coffee.

UO I love drag queens! Currently watching The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
