I miss some things about TD. Like when you log in it tells you how far along you are and the size of the baby... with that said - I got the What to Expect app and it provides the same information, I just like it all in one place.
I think this is more of an FFFC, but I agree with you!

All female showers are boring and stupid (to clarify, I'm talking about with gifts, not water)
Anyone that has someone else open her shower gifts before presenting them to her is an entitled princess.
UO: I don't get superhero stuff. MH loves The Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Transformers (is that superhero?), etc. - he will watch the movies over and over again - I just don't get it and I don't enjoy it. But Dirty Dancing and Pitch Perfect? Put that shit on repeat, thnx
Ewww man buns! silverspoon, I adore Harry and 1D but he could do without the bun. missglitz, how terrible and uncomfortable for all. I like the idea of baby/bridal showers just to celebrate the mom/bride with food, fun, and family. I don't think gifts need to be involved. I especially don't like registries because I don't like implying that someone has to get me a specific item. I can see how they are helpful so you don't get the same gift and guests know what you really need, but I'm worried I will put people in an awkward situation if they just don't have the time or resources to get a gift. Also, if I want to invite someone that I don't know super well, I don't want them to be pressured to get a gift either. I would rather just celebrate and socialize, and I feel a card would do just fine. If people do bring gifts, which is what happened at my shower, I would set them aside and open them privately with the guest or wait until after the shower. Lollipop, I don't mean to be rude but you are coming off as very ungrateful. Nobody HAS to get you a gift and they did anyway with the best intentions, I'm sure. I think you should be a little more appreciative and not get hung up on where the gifts are from. Also, the "smoking is gross" comment is rubbing me the wrong way completely. You say that you understand someone may have an addiction, but your solution of just not starting in the first place is judgmental and insensitive. Some people do not know any better due to private/family circumstances, or have a mental illness that's going untreated and they have no access to care. I think you need to pull back here because you are being slightly ignorant.
My UO is that I don't think phones and other mobile technology should be limited for babies, toddlers, and young children. With all the educational material available, it is sometimes a godsend to have when you are out with your kids and they are throwing tantrums, or during a long car ride. I also plan on getting my school age kids phones (maybe 3rd or 4th grade?) so I can keep track of where they are, if they need anything, and so I can text them.
icequeen, I agree with you about technology. I think by the time our kids get to our age, technology will be everything. It doesn't make sense to keep them from it, andplusalso, I do think it is beneficial to keep them safe and keep track of them.

icequeen To be clear, I like that you adore Harry. I'm ignoring the "ewww man buns".
I agree with your take on technology for kids. I don't plan on trying to be screen free (I think that's what they call it?). These devices aren't going away. I want my kid to be comfortable with technology because they are going to be using it in school.

I've seen guys with man buns that look horrible, but then I've seen some incredibly sexy man buns! I was actually in the mall yesterday and noticed a very sexy man bun! I actually stopped in the hall at the mall to admire. It got really creepy when he noticed me doing it.
I'm just really tired and easily distracted lately

Yes it's judgy. But I was completely surrounded by smokers growing up, and I still knew better. And it's not that hard to not start in the first place. It's really not. And I will step back if I feel like I need to, not because someone tells me to.
Sorry. I feel the way I feel, and I won't be dictated to by anyone.

There's no need to be snappy. You are clearly in the wrong here and are being defensive about it. I too was around smokers growing up and it is a big part of my culture, but I'm not about to go looking down on people when I don't know the story.

My best friend is a huge smoker, and I know a lot of it stemmed from her anxiety. My uncle also has severe anxiety and depression. He started smoking because he would get beat up when he was younger, so he felt he would be "cooler" if he smoked. Now he probably has some form of lung disease, is also a severe alcoholic and has an incredibly addictive personality. Why people start/do things are their own story. Do I think it's gross, yes, but I'm not going to knock someone who is suffering from some form of addiction.

I hate with a fiery, burning passion, drivers who wait to merge until the last minute, it happens daily on my way home from work. I get so incredibly frustrated. Did you not pay attention to the signs at all?
