I hate the word preggo. We aren't in 8th grade here. We are pregnant. Just fucking say the word pregnant becuase preggo is just so "OMG, becky! We are SOOOOOO special."

Same thing for adults who refuse to use the word sex. SEX. Sex sex sex sex. Not baby dance, not some other SS, cutesy term. SEX, for the love of god!

You better not come to Australia. We shorten and slang every possible word and they usually end with "o" or "z" so you would definitely be called preggo all the time.

But you live in the future so I would expect some cultural differences!

YES!   My dad sent DS a book about the baby coming.   My mom was reading it to him and got all tied in a goody goody knot over the part where it explains the baby comes out of the birth canal, and declared that the book was so graphic.   Right then DS informed her that the birth canal was actually a vagina.   I thought she was going to die.   DH and I quietly high fived behind her back because vagina vagina vagina!    That's what it's called and I want my kid to know to use the proper words.   Get over it!

I just read an article about teaching kids boundaries and it stressed the importance of telling kids the proper names for things. It talked about a little girl whose parents taught her the name for a vagina was a purse, and she tried to tell her teacher that she was being sexually abused but the teacher had no idea what she was talking about.

omfg. That is so sad and horrible. That poor girl.
DH did give me raised eyebrows when I told DD that the poop comes out of her anus, but um, that's what it is. Her "butt" or "bottom" can be the cheeks, m'kay?
And yes, she knows that she has a vulva, and mama has a vulva and daddy has a penis and baby brother (will have) a penis. Those are the names of the body parts. No different than arm, abdomen, neck, thigh, etc. imo.

I do feel like a more advanced human compared to you guise.

I hate home decor stuff with words/phrases or flowers on it. It makes my life impossible, because this eliminates 90% of what exists in the marketplace. I have had a bitch of a time with every room in my house, and here we go again with the nursery. Everything says "you are my sunshine" or has a flower on it. I may have to break my rule in one direction or the other.

[kemdupuis]

I cannot stand wheel of fortune. I hate, hate, hate that show. I cannot stand the host, Vanna White, the contestants.... The whole thing just makes me angry. Not sure where the hate comes from, I just cannot deal.

[maddib]

Oh ya I just remembered another one. I HATE Ross Geller from friends! That is HATE in all caps. I want to throat punch him Everytime I see his ugly mug and hear his incredibly whiney voice!! I am sure this is definitely a UO but I just can't help it! HATE that whiney little biotch!!

[PurpleIris]

I find Vladimir Putin rather attractive (physically only). Clearly he is a reprehensible person responsible for some bad shit...but still.

Call me crazy but I actually like having my belly rubbed. Not by strangers though!

I'm with you - as long as they ask (I'd even be ok with someone Im not really close with touching the belly ... IF THEY ASK). I've been trying to reinforce the crap out my family and friends by saying loudly "Yes, THANK you so much for asking!!" 

So far, no unwanted touching.

The singer Sam Smith pisses me off. Quit whining. Honestly. Every song.

My UO I am not really a fan of other ppls kids.. I don't want to sound harsh or anything but I just can't do it. I can't babysit or watch kids that aren't my own. I am not mean to them at all by any means I just don't really enjoy it.. And I know this about myself so I would never get into the daycare field. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person for saying that. And there are some really ugly kids on my news feed.. This girl posts 40 pictures a day and I just don't get it!! Everyone will always think their own kid is the most cutest kid in the world but do you really have to post a million pictures all saying how your child is the cutest?? He's not even remotely cute!! Sorry not sorry! Ok now I feel like a bad person but that is my UO. Kind of a confession. I would never say that to anyone obviously but I definitely think it. Everytime I see those pictures..

This is probably flame worthy.. So flame away!!

Not an UO to me! I mostly feel the same!

I think it also makes things less shameful too. It's your body part.
Remember the lady on TB that called her baby's sex organs potty parts. Terrible!
I think I was lurking on another site and a woman posted her husband told her that her vagina looked bigger. Pretty sure it wasn't her vagina he was talking about. Drives me crazy!

Does this make anyone else think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry couldn't remember the name of the woman he was dating? She told him it rhymed with a female anatomy part. He finally figured out it was Mulva. (she may have told him as she dumped him, I can't remember)


Just me? I'm the only 13 year old?

eta: I agree in using the correct labels for body parts. DS definitely knows he has a penis.

He guessed Mulva. It was actually Dolores.

[stinybean]

Kim K's platinum hair is the fugliest thing I've seen in a long time. And every one is all "ZOMG HAWT" because it's Kim K. Um no. You're stupid.<br/>
I didn't think anyone thought she looked good! I know I don't think it does! I'm totally in agreement with you!

Thanks for setting me straight!

My UO is I don't like it when people say to me "You're going to be such a great mother!" I think it's cliché and what are they really basing that on? The fact that it took me a year and half to conceive and I kept with it till I did? That I'm not a total asshole (which I can be, FWIW)? Majority of the time, the person has never seen me interact with a child... and quite frankly I don't think it's gonna come naturally to me!

I see your phrases and flowers and raise you chevron. I liked chevron 2 years ago and now I'm ready for it to go back into hibernation for 30 years. Goodbye wall decal words, goodbye fake flowers, goodbye chevron.

I will add on the paper poms for decorating everything.

I love this thread and realized that so many of my "UO" are not that unpopular. My UO is that I find it really frustrating that people assume their life shouldn't change at all when they have kids and use the kids as fashion accessories. I really believe kids do best with routines and need consistency. I do realize that sometimes things come up, but as a parent I really believe there will be sacrifices and I might miss out on something in order to get my kids in bed on etc.

It may not be a big deal if you pass and the drink doesn't make you sick. 

If you fail the 1 hour and have to go back and do the 3 hour which is miserable. You have to fast for 12 hours, drink a 100g sugary drink, get blood drawn 4 times, feel like you are going to pass out/throw up and on top of that you are starving. 

Then you have to worry about failing and potentiality having GD. The thought of being pregnant and not being able to indulge in carbs or desserts is a legitimate thing to cry over. 

I second mrskblack11. The 3 hour test after fasting and getting your blood drawn 4x? It wasn't a very pleasant feeling. Oh, and then getting the call the next day that I failed the 3 hour and now I am being treated for GD, yeah, that wasn't fun and I consider that a "big deal". Now I have to have additional monitoring and testing done, on top of following a particular diet in hopes of keeping my glucose/sugar levels in check so I don't need medication for the remainder of my pregnancy. I also have other risks as well. But ya know, "no big deal". 

Maybe the 1 hour test isn't so bad and isn't something to cry over, but getting tested for GD is a big deal. Just my opinion though. 

Yup. All this. My first pregnancy I actually passed out when I stood up for them to draw me the third time at the 3 hour. This time I managed to stay conscious but felt sick and disoriented all day. And IT'S FUCKING GROSS! (The drink). Both pregnancies I've had GD and it is a very anxiety-producing complication. You have to think about everything you put in your mouth, and when, and make sure to exercise because that will lower your blood sugar, too. You become fixated on the numbers on your glucose meter and super anxious when they rise unpredictably. And the consequences are high if you don't take it very seriously--placental breakdown and possible stillbirth are some heavy stakes. So yeah, it's a big deal and the anxiety over it is well deserved.

I hate the idiot who lives in our block of apartments that thinks it's acceptable behaviour to throw eggs from their window and they land all over the path.. & my car. NOT HAPPY. We have an idea of who it is.. *whispers* those party people on top floor with their window open wide all the time *end whisper*

Also, those in public who STARE at my tummy.. I don't mind a glance if you must.. I'm really not that interesting but to full on stare at me just angers me. I'm only pregnant.. I haven't grown a second head.

You guys just made me realize my ultimate UO.

I do not believe in God. I am an athiest.

Prepare the burning stake...

I am agnostic but leaning more and more towards atheism every day.

I could not agree more with truly HATING it when people say "it was gods way/God has a plan/everything happens for s reason" fuck that. That shit makes my blood pressure rise immediately. I'm thankful no one has ever dared to say such things to me!

Food pictures. YES. Hate that! Mostly because every single time SO and I go out he has to rearrange our plates to look just so! And send it to his brother. The two of them - ugh.

My UO: I haaaaaaate Maroon 5. Possibly more than nickel back. Such whiney music.
