UO's?
Anyone have any UO's? We need to liven up this game!!
I feel that 3 years old is WAY to late to start potty training!
Re: UO's?
Umm here goes.
You should never let your child stand in a booth staring at the people in the booth next to your's at a restaurant for more than 10 seconds (tops), and if there are any boogies no seconds are allowable.
ugh i hate this! the other day on our lunch break we literally had this kid all up in our face our entire lunch because the mom was too busy blabbing away to her friend. he kept interrupting her so she acted like she didn't even see him even though we were obviously annoyed. even if the people seem interested at first by saying hello, it's rude to let it go any further.

Hahahahah I was thinking unsolicited. It's too early for me because that doesn't make sense for what I replied.
I will add one.
I haaaaate shower games but really hate the baby shower game where you measure the mother to be's stomach.
i hate them too. we played 1 game at mine and it wasn't too bad. it was actually inside the napkins and it asked like 10 questions like 'who is going to get up for midnight feedings, who will the baby look like, etc...' it was quick, easy, and the restaurant gave away a $25 gc as the prize.

I just went to a bridal shower last month and they played games. I hate games! Wendy make it clear that you want no games to be played at your baby shower.
I also can't stand when a child stands at the back of the booth and stares. I don't let my son do this, so why can't you stop your child?!

It's not a blonde thing Shaina. I'm so glad you asked because I had no idea either and I'm not blonde! lol
I didn't know either so I wasn't sure what I was supposed to post!
You should NOT talk on your cell phone while you're using a public restroom. It's gross...and you may not mind if the person you're talking to can hear you pee, but I certainly don't want them to hear me peeing too!

LOL, I just got my IUD put in, I'm getting my money's worth out of it girly!
Ok well maybe at least 3/5 years it's good for.

I don't know if this is unpopular or not....
I hate it when people at weddings make all of the single ladies go up to catch the bouquet. Other than when I was in my early 20's and thought it was fun, I find it to be very demeaning. I'm soooooooo glad I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Me too on the bouquet thing! And, I only had like literally 2 single women at mine and I wasn't about to make the two of them get up and do it! I found out that one thought I was crazy that I didn't do it and she was excited for it. Um, sorry I didn't want to embarass you!
And ditto, UO is a big bump thing - it gets CUHRAZY.
I didn't have one for this reason, some people were mad. I found that so surprising.
We didn't do the bouquet or garter toss. I'm not a fan of it in general and at my wedding I didn't need to single out the handful of people who fit the bill.

I already stalk the bumb boards.
True Story: My Junior year of college I went to the wedding of one of my sorority sisters who was from my hometown. She was several years older than me. My boyfriend had just broken up with me the week prior (his loss). KID YOU NOT, when it was time for the bouquet toss, I was literally slouched in my chair hiding. Then, she grabs the mic and says: "STACEY LASTNAME, WHERE ARE YOU?! GET UP HERE GIRL!" I. was. pissssed. I had always hated the toss before that, but that incident still gives me nightmares and I vowed to never do that.
Here's mine... As much as I hate that FIL already favors our child over BIL's. And it irritates me to no end that he hasn't flown/drove here to visit his first grandchild yet, he's waiting until after our LO is born... My nephew will be 6/7months when Felicity is born! Anyways... as much as I hate that, and BIL/SIL and us are determined not to let FIL's favoritism effect the cousins relationship.... I still plan to milk a butt load of gifts out of him. Now if only he would start sending out LO something we actually want, and could use....
Oh and I hate shower games also. I think they all suck, and have told the people hosting my showers that if they touch/measure/anything to my belly I will vomit all over them, after I throat punch them.
I'm a breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, anti-CIO Mommy

I live on the second floor and I hate our upstairs neighbors. They don't even have a kid and they stomp around all the time, play loud techno music at 3 am and wake my kid up all the time! I can't wait until we move into a house!!!
We didn't even let Xander CIO for the longest time because I didn't want him screaming at night and waking our neighbors.

I hate it when people do this!! It's so embarrassing!
Thats why we didnt do this at our wedding, i didnt want to single them out. So we did the anniversary dance and gave the couple married the longest my bouquet.
That is terrible! We didn't do it at our wedding either. Nobody complained to me about it not being done. I hated it when people would try to force others to join in.
I don't get the love people have for wine. Sometimes I think it is a forced love only because it is "cool" to like wine.
this is what we did too.

I only like it b/c I get drunk faster, lol.
But I drink ones like white zin, which is definitely at the bottom of the wine scale.
