UO Thursday 7/23

[katespade]

My sister has a traditionally male first name, so generally, boy names used for girls don't bother me too much.

[katespade]

Also, I think a lot of the names suggested to people on the baby name board are horrific and would lead to a child being mercilessly teased.

I think having a randoms thread every day is silly. We need more themed daily threads.

I know some of the other BMBs do weekly random threads. I don't care how frequent it is I just need somewhere to post the things that don't fit any where else. Agree on the theme threads though! And more GTKY!

There's one lady (probably more but only one I noticed) who always seems to suggest the same few extremely not-the-OP-style names, most of which are borderline child abuse. Every time I see it happen, I want to yell into my laptop "DID YOU EVEN READ HER LIST?! NONE OF THESE ARE EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT SHE POSTED, STAAAAAAHP". More of a rant than an UO though.

I love names and playing on the board, but this is so true.

I'm really pissed about Blake & Miranda's divorce, why is it so easy for people to throw away marriages??? Also get pissed when i see my son's school friends parents are also divorced and remarried... WTF your kid is 3 when do you have time to date?

Sleep training was a lifesaver. Shopping cart covers are overrated. Coke > Pepsi.

Divorces like that always surprise me. They were together, 6 years? Married 4? How were you together 6 years and didn't realize "hmm, maybe not gonna work out..."

Why should it piss you off what they are doing with their life? I'd be happy for them because they are happy. I'm side-eyeing this so fucking hard.

I love the name Riley for a girl. It was H's first suggestion for this baby and I think it's beautiful. There, I said it.

Riley is more popular as a girl's name in the US. Ranked 47 versus 173 for boys and the girls ranking doesn't even include the girly spelling variations.

People change. Major life events happen and they react completely unexpected or different to their general personality. Mental illness can also take hold. My mother was with my father for 3 years before they got married. Never knew he was a paranoid schizophrenic. They divorced after 3 months when he started beating her. So tell me, how should she have known that was going to happen?

That's a good point.

+1. FFTC? I stopped reading the random threads.

People should eat whatever they want when they are pregnant. Things like watching fish for mercury content you should be thinking about all the time anyway, not just when knocked up.

I strongly dislike Toby from PLL. He is not helpful and he is super annoying, and also I don't like his face (his body is another story...). He is so unhelpful and I wish he and Spencer had not gotten back together. The end.

I think yesterday's previous pregnancy bump thread was really insensitive.

I mean I get that alot of people here have LCs and wouldn't have had a issue if it been about posting pics of them. But to specifically reference previous pregnancies....hurt my heart as a loss mom bc this is my third pregnancy.

I don't think anyone meant to be hurtful, buy I'm sorry your feelings were hurt.

What is LC? I thought I had finally figured out all the lingo.

ETA: Guess I was slow on the draw on that one.

What pisses you off about someone else's relationship status?

[jtizzay]

Sorry blackbird I didn't think about that and posted

[KK_8721]

Thanks everyone who explained it.

[peachesncream]

Definitely not intended hurtful post blackbird, I've had losses too, many of us have but since we're all KU at the moment why not have some fun.  

I'm full of UO today huh.

They could have family to help out, friends who'll watch the kid, or heck even the guy is not a total douche and is ok with dates being with the kid.
