I figured since this UO hadn't been posted yet Thursday, and since we are still a small-ish group, that we could just combine UO and confessions into one thread this week.
Let's hear 'em!

Re: Unpopular Opinions & FFFC 2/7 & 2/8
I was tempted to respond, "Literally?"
Confession: My FIL is coming over for dinner and I am dreading it. I should be happy because we haven’t seen him in two months (lives 20 minutes away) but it irks me that he puts little to no effort into his relationship with my husband and our kids. He’s kind of been in a mid-life crisis for a few years and it wears on my husband. But I will put on a happy face and be a good hostess.
so I always dread their visits, no matter how long it’s been since the last!
I have horror stories—in a nut shell, they think they are parents #3 and 4 and have all the rights that go with being a parent, including being in L&D (haha haha haha. NO! She was really upset about that one)

😳 dude your ILs sound rough. I can only imagine the stress that adds to your life. Are you and your husband on the same page about them?
P.S. I was obsessed with Sailor Moon when I was younger. I watched it every day after school. Swooned over Tuxedo Mask. I wanted to have girls and name them Venus and Serena. I still have the manga at my parents house. 😆
example- we both had to travel the same week for work. My grandmother came up to watch the kids. MIL couldn’t understand why we both had to go that week because it was keeping her from seeing the boys as planned.

That being said, my UO is I will not mind at all of this ends up being a "small" BMB. I feel like that will make it easier to remember each other, and really get to know one another.

UO: Not all babies are cute. (Inspired by a friend's baby IRL who is decidedly NOT cute. But baby is its own category of lovable anyway so it doesn't matter.)
Of course I though both of my babies were cute so I'm not sure a mom would be able to tell, lol.

I’ve grown up my whole life being told I can’t get the TDaP. My entire leg swelled up from the first one so my pediatrician wouldn’t give me the second. (Spoiler alert - even after I had a legit reaction to that one, my mom still got me every other vaccine on time.) Knowing that, I asked OB if I should get it anyway and she said definitely not. She told me since I couldn't have it that anyone else who was going to spend any significant time around the baby should.

That story isn’t even the icing on the cake. I have stories that will make most people’s skin crawl off

she messaged today asking for summer visit dates. I don’t know, lady. It’s only mid-February. I don’t have the year planned out yet, FFS! No one tell her I’m due the day after her birthday. I‘ll never hear the end of it!
