UO 5/30

Tell why you're right and we are wrong. 
Re: UO 5/30
I shave every time I get in the shower. I can't stand to have stubble on my legs and I just hate hair in general. I could never go a month without shaving. I would be so itchy and uncomfortable.
Also, this was a hot topic on my March 14 BMB so I'm going to bring it up here and see where everyone falls on this. Peeing in the shower or bathtub is disgusting. It shouldn't be done. Especially in the bathtub. 🤢
I also shave every day but only my underarms. No problem letting my legs get stubby, but the underarms really bug me for some reason.
My UO is I hate big over the top kids birthdays parties for little kids (like 4 and under). I've been to a few for 1 year olds that were huge, 75 people, catered, balloons, etc. I guess its fine if you have the money for stuff like that but I hate going and try to make up any excuse not to go.
As for over the top parties, I agree. Going that far with it is too much. Its stressful too. I usually focus on decorating 1 table and the focal point is the cake. Then we have balloons to make it look like it's all big and grand! I do decorate the high chair for first birthdays because I want the cake smash pictures to look adorable!
yeah I like the decorated high chair too.
My UO is I hate when people complain about their spouses and children. A quick vent, sure, but constant complaining is the worst. My sil is the biggest offender and I just can’t stand it. She’s constantly rolling her eyes at her 8 year old, yelling at her 1 year old, being outwardly frustrated with her newborn, and calling her husband weird. It’s gone in since she had her daughter so it’s nothing new. Like, you chose these people, they are yours, find a way to enjoy them or your life is going to be miggghty miserable. Family that you didn’t “choose,” complain away!
I also hate shaving my legs and do it rarely. Like maybe once every other week. My hair is blonde and I truly just dont care that much unless I'm wearing a dress or going to a function. Apparently this is an UO here I see😂
@creamcheeseplease I'm with you on the parties. I felt so pressured by my sister to have a big 1st birthday for my son and I so regret it. It was such a big expense and it was silly..he couldn't even walk and was zipping around the hall in his walker the whole time. Never again!
I can't think of an UO right now but on the topic of showering, my husband and I shower together every night. A few years back we started to do this to spend more time together because our schedules were kind of crazy. To be honest it's been one of the best decisions we've made for our relationship, lol. Of course if I want to have an alone shower I will. We don't do any funny business either because shower sex sucks maybe that's an UO 😂
I hate when my legs are prickly. They itch and I cant sleep. I have been known to get up from bed and take a bath to shave.
Also I HATE, HAAAATE shaving my legs, but try to do it at least once a week when it's dress/shorts weather.
Peeing in the shower is not my style. I just don't understand because I go to the bathroom before showering so it isn't even a need but knowing my husband probably does it doesn't bother me. Just as long as he doesnt do it if we are showering together. haha
That being said shower sex for us was always uncomfortable but we haven't done it since the no-condom era that was all young 20s craziness. Water and rubber not friends.
My UO is that I don't like people helping with my laundry. My own clothes in particular. Do the dishes, vacuum, sweep but please don't fold my underwear.
I don’t get huge baby parties either. We have a big family, so we invite the people we’re closest to and then make all the food ourselves. We go crazy cooking and baking, but it’s so cheaper and much more fun. And then the girls can pick whatever kind of party we want and I get decorations.
I’ll try to think of an UO, all the pee talk has me running to the bathroom now. 😂
Also dreading having to plan and throw kids bday partys. I'm the worst planner, I never did anything for my birthdays growing up. I'm hoping that dinner with family and close friends will be sufficient until he's old enough to be more involved in planning what he wants to do for birthdays.
U/O umm. I hate avocados. Living in California, admitting that is damn near a sin. But I just found them disgusting. Mushy and blah.
I don't care for shower sex. Maybe it's because we haven't had a spacious enough shower. Our new house has a very spacious shower with 2 shower heads so it may be an option.
@Dancer688 I hate for people to fold my laundry. Don't change my sheets either. Nope, nope, nope!
DS2 was born in November and I'm excited about doing a joint bday bash for him and this baby.
@purplefan1 yea I dont understand gender reveals either. And wtf is a sprinkle??
@angieeeeee a sprinkle is typically a baby shower thrown for a STM+ mom. Some of people look down on it as gift grabby because they assume shes already got everything she needs because shes and kids before. But stuff like diapers, wipes, ect are always needed, so its sorta like a smaller version of a baby shower.
I'm ok with sprinkles, as long as you don't throw your own! Even though we have most baby gear from our son, I know my friends want to throw me a sprinkle. I dont expect anything nor do I have a registry to share. But I think every baby should be celebrated and a sprinkle is a just a party for that in my mind.
I have had a shower for almost all my babies. I have never expected a shower after my first. My second baby was 12 years after my first so it was like starting over. Then with my other shower, it was a sprinkle that my mom group insisted on throwing for me. It was after the baby was born and it gave everyone the opportunity to see her and hold her.
I had a shared sprinkle/shower with my 2nd that our other mom friends threw for us since we were due within a month of each other. It was a cute baby playdate with balloons and cake. All the toddlers loved it haha
I've personally never been to a child's birthday party that I would consider over the top. Around here it's just family, friends, and sometimes food. My sister use to go pretty hard on the decorations but they were all homemade so it wasn't like she was spending too much or anything. I can't imagine a catered birthday party 😆
On that note, my UO is I HATE weddings. All weddings. Big. Small. Indoor. Outdoor. HATE THEM ALL. The church part is fine, if you're in to that kind of thing I get it and I can respect that. I just find wedding receptions completely obnoxious and awkward. I hate dancing. I don't drink. I don't like to be around drunk people. I don't like big crowds. I hate feeling like I'm part of a captive audience when I'm just trying to eat a meal in peace, you know? Choreographed dances, speeches, having to watch a couple kiss over and over 🤮
But @ChelK3 I had a non traditional wedding and I daresay you would have liked it! Rented a house that could sleep our twelve guests total, got married under a tree in the backyard and then we all kind of chilled. There were hammocks, a hot tub, a fire pit, horseshoes. We had a catered sit down dinner but other than that I didn't hold anyone to any kind of schedule of eating/dancing/drinking. I think I was in bed by 11:30 while everyone else partied. 🙈 Best of all, as far as weddings go we did it on the cheap.
The following year my sister had a tremendous decadent wedding that suited her and her hubby..there's no wrong way!
