Me too. I was going to write this in Flame free Friday. I just downloaded the tapatalk app which looks like it makes it easier to post pics but then I don't like the tapatalk layout at all. I prefer how the layout looks on accessing the website via regular mobile or in my lap top. I'm completely computer illiterate.

sully326 On a serious note.. My last serious long term boyfriend.. His sister moved to Cali to pursue a career in porn. She has been out there a few years already when their dad found out by accidentally stumbling upon her films.
Well. That'd be, awkward. BAHAHA!
I would LOVE to know how he told her. "A 'friend' of mine said he saw something I might be concerned about... " Or was it more of a dinnertime "So, are the peas better than the dick you ate in your last film?" conversation?

Nothing earth-shattering here but my UO is I don't care for the 10 Things Tuesday thread. I really want to take the time to read through it and contribute because i like the concept but I open it and think "I need a tl;dr for all of these" and close the thread.
I think the one that we did that there was an actual theme (it was like things that remind you of your childhood or something like that) was a million times better than all of the others combined.
I'm not a fan of naps for adults. I feel like it's a waste of time. I get so annoyed with DH when he takes a nap during the day and I have things I want/need to do.
I'm a total hypocrite on this one, but I feel like it's only when I'm pg. I also get super annoyed when DH wants to take a nap on the weekends and I want to get things done, but I take one almost every day while he's at work.

I do the same thing. I don't use tapatalk, just go to the website from my phone.
I hate when people post to a thread or answer a question in the exact same way as everyone else. Like the "Swaddling" thread for example. It's like 20 of the same exact response. I just think if you have nothing new to contribute, it's okay to skip posting in the thread. Now if you have additional info or a similar question, by all means, post away, but 20 responses saying "arms out while swaddling is fine" is just a bit much. That's what love-tits are for. If you agree - love tit!!!
I mostly agree but in the case of the swaddling sometimes you don't know if a love tit means ' thanks for the advice I'll try that' or ' yes I swaddled arms out too'. I was actually so surprised to see how many people successfully swaddle a newborn arms out and our pedi never told us you should not swaddle arms in. Maybe DS was a difficult baby but his startle reflex w his arms made it impossible to swaddle arms out the first few months.

I think the first couple of people who want to affirm/clarify what the PP said are okay, but after that I totally agree. And I was the first one who responded to that thread, FTR.

We cloth diaper, and it IS a lot of work, but worth it.
+1 to hating self check outs... it's especially a problem for us when we bring our own bags - the scale always gets thrown off, and we always get locked out of the system and have to wait for a manager. It ends up taking twice as long. Super obnoxious.
UO: I find it maddening when I see bikers (specifically motorized bikes) not wearing protective gear... helmets, etc. I think it's incredibly selfish not to protect yourself. Maybe I am missing something though that there is a particular reason people don't? I can't imagine what it would be other than comfort though? Anyways, I see this a lot and it drives me crazy!

Mine for today, since I just got an email about our work summer party, is that I hate "team togetherness" things at work that are supposed to be rewards, like company parties. Of course it's been 100x worse this year since I can't drink. But I would rather that the people on my team see me as an authority figure, and not their party buddy, plus I don't really like most of them. And when they are scheduled during work hours, I always end up having to drop out because of a deadline, or stress the whole time about shirking my responsibilities.
Based on the other updates from breech mamas, my UO is that I was thrilled at the idea of a scheduled csection when I found out my LO is turned around. The idea of the unknown of labor/vaginal birth terrifies me so I hope he's still breech during my US today... Of course if he is head down I will be fine and cancel the csection and go about it normally... But I have my fingers crossed he's still head up.
ETA: I'm not sure if this goes here or FFFC because I get confused between the two...
Definitely a UO. I want to avoid a C-section because the recovery may be rough. With a vaginal birth for DD I was able to bounce back really quickly (although not always the case).
Now with an induction, you get the same ability to remove some of the unknown, and still get to try for a vaginal birth.
sully326 When I was FTM I was obsessed about researching baby products and if someone bought us something that wasn't the exact thing I wanted, I got upset. No shame from me @pcrunk.
@littlechivette I can't disagree with you more about self-checkouts. The people who go in the regular lines are often the super slow kind that have tons of coupons then pay their bill with their checkbook. The quicker I am in and out the better. Plus it avoids the awkward conversations about some of your purchases, although I am less embarrassed about buying certain things in general now than I used to be.

Ditto. I hated work "team building" activities. I just want to do my job, thanks.
I think that reusable grocery bags are stupid and unsanitary. As a previous cashier they seem like a huge PITA. I recycle my plastic bags unless they have dog poop in them.

That's the thing, induction I still have the thought of the what ifs and I could be in labor for 20 hours and then have to have an emergency CS anyway. My ok with with CS probably stems from a urologist in my early 20s telling me I would have to have one due to a kidney/bladder disorder I have, so I have always mentally been prepared for that. It was only when I actually got KU that my OB told me that wasn't true.. So I've had to spend the last 9 months wrapping my brain around the idea of a vaginal birth.
I get why people do cloth diapering but I am shit at laundry and would probably end up just throwing the shitty ones away which in the long run would cost me more money. Also I'm assuming you cloth diaper until baby is trained. DS hates getting his nappy changed I can only assume a cloth diaper would be even more difficult with a wriggler.
I obviously haven't cloth diapered yet (FTM), but with All-in-One diapers I don't imagine they would be any more difficult to put on than a disposable. There are lots of benefits to cloth diapering, and I'm pretty sure extra laundry is the only extra work. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to CD though, most people don't after all!

I totally get where you're coming from on this. Recently, my OB has brought up a couple of concerns that could end up with me having a CS. For the most part, it will be a wait and see how labor goes and then I may end up with one. I've tried to come to terms with it, but I just wish I knew one way or the other so I can mentally prepare. With an RCS, I just feel like the whole situation is more in control and calm versus a CS that is unplanned. I could also choose a gentle C if it's planned in advance.

How are they unsanitary?
yes, how? We wash ours regularly. I agree that they can be a pain for store employees... I usually bag myself as to not inconvenience others with our choice to bring our own bags, because I know they can be clumsy to load.

Just curious, do all of your grocery stores still have plastic bags? Our county doesn't have them anymore but you can buy paper bags for 10 cents. The county I work in does still have them though (for now).

Totally with you on this. DD was breech from 20 something weeks on. I had so much time to get used to the idea, but honestly, I didn't need it. I would get nervous about her flipping head down, like you mentioned.
I was very comforted knowing I wasn't going to rip open my vagina, wasn't going to worry about baby getting stuck and dislocating a shoulder, wasn't worried about trying to push and not knowing the cord was wrapped around their neck, etc. The planning was a pro too, but I still knew in the back of my head I could go into labor on my own. I didn't have any terrible contractions, didn't labor for 36 hours, didn't end up trying to push out a baby and need a CS anyway.
I do think this is very much an UO, but I'm with you. This little boy is head down and a VBAC is still an option for me, which terrifies me. At the same time, I would love to get to experience it that way, but it doesn't make me any less scared. I can 100% say I am much more scared to push out this baby, than to have surgery. Doesn't mean I won't try for a VBAC, or that I won't be so excited if I have a successful VBAC, but as far as nerves are concerned, a vaginal birth scares the crap out of me.

budders and @jemomma thanks;) I think I have had the realization that I'm a little OCD... The same part of me that could never ever ever wear the wrong day-of-the-week undies on the wrong day just can't seem to post in a thread that's designated for a different day. Ha. I have issues.

Sadly yes! I wish they didn't though! I have yet to hear anything in our state about eliminating plastic bags, or charging for them like I saw someone else post.
