Apparently I'm the only one that likes full bed? We had a full size for the first 4 yrs of our marriage and upgraded to queen and I miss snuggling. MH wants a king 🙄
@hannelorre my husband isn’t the bed hog. It is my dog. She is the reason a king bed is a must for us. (Also she only weighs 30lbs. Diva. 🙄)
@emmylou78 on my first BMB we had a rando post a drive by all but naked bump pic. 3.5 years later and I still remember it. 🤣
Re: second showers, I’m not having one but I’m not offended by them. I feel like there are a lot of situations where gathering with women to show support during a big life change is a good thing. The two I’ve attended were for a mom that had a child in HS then got married and had another baby 12 years later. It wasn’t her ‘first’ but it was her first in the sense of doing traditional things with her new husband and family. The other shower was for a woman whose mom just died and she needed all the love from her tribe before the baby came. Both were lovely and I’m glad I attended.
But frankly, after 2020, I’m dying to celebrate any positive life event.
@surrenderdorothy that's actually really sweet. I'm not against 2nd baby sprinkles especially when it's arranged by the non-mother to be. One of my coworkers expecting a 3rd and someone is throwing a surprise sprinkle and I don't mind it at all bc I am so genuinely happy for her. I agree we need more positive normal life things to celebrate these days.
Also I have no problem saying no to invites if I think it's weird.
@hannelorre that might be the most truly unpopular (while not being offensive, haha) opinion I’ve heard in a while! I’m not the biggest on needing a bunch of space in bed- my H and I sleep snuggling at least part of every night- but I like having the option to roll away if I’m hot/don’t feel good/one of us is tossing and turning. That’s pretty cute that you like being so close!
@hannelorre oof, yeah, I don't know how MH and I managed to sleep in a double for the first few years we lived together. He's a furnace and in the winter that is nice, but summertime he can't be touching me . It's also the length of a double that really doesn't work for me. I'm 5'11 and MH is 6', so we are not overly tall, but we are tall enough that both of our feet hang over the edge of the bed of a double.
@claireloSC, my sisters/mom threw a sprinkle for my second. I was totally against in, but they surprised me with it anyways. It was actually very cute. They put in the invite that I didn’t “need” anything, and to just come and celebrate. A lot of people still brought me boy clothes (kid #1 is a girl), and it was really helpful. I thought I was against them until my own. 🤦🏼♀️ Now I’m like, “Eh. To each their own!”
UO: I think Taylor Swift is incredibly overrated and obnoxious.
I think baby showers or sprinkles for second or later kids is totally inappropriate.
People like to celebrate 🤷🏻♀️. I threw a friend one before I knew it was taboo.
I'm happy for any reason to have a party, especially if there's cake! Baby showers in general aren't my favorite (I hate the games, not a fan of watching people open presents) but I'm happy to celebrate with people even if it's baby number 2, 3, 4, whatever.
@doodlemom131 - My husband and I have had separate bedrooms for years. It's just the best way for both of us to get a good night's sleep until we move somewhere big enough for a king size bed.
