I'll go first. I actually don't mind throwing up because I feel so much better afterwards. The nausea before is the worst. So sometimes I try to make myself throw up just so I can move on to feeling better.
loubug, Agree. Nausea is THE WORST. There was someone over on the bump in my last BMB who got flamed for saying she would think about tequila to speed things along.

I hate throwing up. I haven't thrown up since before my son was conceived, around 4 years. But my husband will do the same and force himself to throw up if he isn't feeling well.

UO: I think it's ridiculous that brides and grooms do bachelorette and bachelor weekends. It's fine if you have 1 wedding coming up- but do people think I can celebrate an entire weekend for every single wedding i have coming up. Plus one night with you and all your friends is usually plenty for me. You're all high.
I'm just mad because the one I have coming up is July 4th weekend. As if nobody has any other plans...

Despite my husband desperately wanting one (both for himself and for DS), I have no desire to get a dog. I don't dislike dogs, I just don't want one in my house. The hair, the smell, the walking, the everything. I have all the guilt in the world over it, but I still just don't want one.

You are not alone except I don't like dogs one bit or animals really. I don't want to deal with any of their mess. I don't have any guilt over it. It causes me enough anxiety just thinking about dealing with a dog whenever DH says something. I tell him he can get one after I die to keep him company.

We have one small 5 lb. dog who doesn't shed & is the most low maintenance dog ever, but that is plenty for me. No more dogs.

DH has wanted one since he was a kid. One year for Christmas when DH was 5, my MIL put a box under the tree with holes poked in it and woke him up Christmas morning to tell him to go downstairs to open up his dog. It was a stuffed animal dog. He cried for days. Who does that to a 5 year old?! She's not a cruel person, she genuinely believed it was funny and wouldn't affect him the way it did. This is the one and only place my guilt comes from.
flyinghorses6 I had a weekend bachelorette party My MOH planned it though, but I thought it was fun! Two days is my limit though. I can barely drink for one night anymore much less multiple nights.
I had a friend who insisted on going on a week long cruise for hers. Needless to say, all of the bridesmaids shot that down real quick.
I hate baby showers, bachelor/ bachelorette parties, bridal showers, birthday parties, and any other occasion in which one single person is the focus of all attention. It feels so awkward and forced. At least this is why I refuse them for myself. But then, I have big time social anxiety and am probably just projecting my own panic upon the very idea.

I'll add a UO to the whole bachelorette/bachelor party list - I loathe combined parties. The ones where the bride and groom go out together? A big fat f**k that. If you're gonna ask me out to celebrate your short-lived singlehood, do not invite your soon-to-be spouse and his drunk frat brothers along. I will immediately RSVP 'no'. If I wanted to party with your fiancé, I'd double date with you two. I would not plan a night of celebrating single ladies with him. Nope nope nope.

I hate all chocolate that is not white chocolate :-)
What what whaaaat?!
But... but... milk! Dark! Extreme cocoa!
I will say the white chocolate and raspberry stars from Godiva are heaven.
But seriously, no milk even?!
I can tolerate one small Hershey kiss but that's as far as I go with chocolate. I just don't like the flavor at all. I can't even stomach chocolate ice cream.
Also hate cats. Also hate weekend and destination bachelor(ette) parties. Basically hate everything about the wedding industry.
UO: I hate coffee. Hate the smell, hate the taste. Which is hilarious bc I'm Colombian- hellooo coffee land! If I ever have any, it's more of a would you like some coffee with that sugar and cream?
UO: I totally dislike dogs but what I can't stand even more is people who treat their dogs better than their children. At lunch the other day I was like oh hey look B, another baby in a stroller.. oh wait.. that's a dog. *rolls eyes*

My family and MH's family have been dog owners forever. We are NOT getting a dog. Mainly because we're not home enough to be responsible pet owners. But also because of dog hair, walking, grooming... I'm tired thinking about it.

I am the opposite. I can't stomach white chocolate! It's too sweet for me. I don't even like milk chocolate (if it's by itself). Dark chocolate over here.

There's a thread on Parenting about engagement rings. It's reminding me that I'm not a fan of colored diamonds. I'll add that they are beautiful (don't get me wrong), but if MH ever bought me a colored diamond, I would be slightly disappointed. He looked at my exact ring style with canary diamonds on the side instead of classic diamonds (he designed and hand-picked the stones for my ring). At first I thought it would be really cool. But now that I have my all-classic diamond ring, I'd never change it.
Now if he wanted to buy me canary diamond earrings or a band to "upgrade" my ring... maybe. He'd have to work hard to convince me though.
I especially can't stand pink diamonds. But I'm not really a pink girl.

I am really surprised by how many people dislike dogs/cats/animals!
You may know more than you think. They just don't talk about it because animal people tend to be very adamant that all people should like animals. I am totally generalizing I know. People like to tell me I'm weird because I don't like animals. It doesn't bother me because I know I'm the only normal person there is.
+1 to not liking weekend long bachelor/bachelorette parties. Maybe I'm just old and crotchety lol. When I was 18? Sign me up!
I love animals but sometimes I wish I didn't have any. With a crawling baby learning to explore and a grumpy cat who hates kids, my days have been spent mediating and redirecting them both. I know this is just a stage and it makes me sad because I do love my cat, but life would be much easier without her. Now I want to cry cause said cat just jumped on my lap and started purring. Ugh.

So this is inspired by planning my sons first bday party in a few weeks. The new trend amongst my friends has been to say "no gifts" on the invite, but then they all bring a small gift anyway. I don't get this. I didn't put anything about gifts on the invitation because it feels kind of weird to dictate that for people. I'm in no way expecting anything, but I think it's annoying to say "no gifts" but then everyone is still sort of expecting something... Or maybe I'm just friends with judgey people lol.
