I think it's stupid that having a bra strap showing is considered trashy. Social norms require us both to wear this undergarment and pretend we're not wearing it at the same time?
I disagree with full day kindergarten. Which is how it is where I am from.
I think they should still have nap time. 8 hours is a long time without a nap for a 5 year old.
Totally agree. I did a semester of student teaching in a kindergarten classroom. 8-2:30 with a ten minute "quiet rest time" after lunch is waaaaaay too long of a day for 5 year olds. The poor kids couldn't handle anything by like 1:00.

Ugh don't even get me started on the awful path that public school kindergarten is going down! I am a huge proponent of public school and I love teaching at a public school, but the testing and focus on instructional time that is happening as young as kindergarten are ridiculous.
We actually had to do something like this in the Catholic church before DH and I married. It's called pre-cana; it was like a weekend of answering guided question with a bunch of other couples. It seemed kinda pointless for us, since the questions seemed to be common sense conversations you likely would've already had in your relationship, but quite a few other couples seemed to really need it.
omg I know. At our pre-cana, there were like 30 couples. Some hadn't discussed money management, if they were having kids, if they were "allowed" to have opposite sex friends... wtf!
Yes!!! DH and I were like "aaand this is why 50% of marriages these days end in divorce."

I had a nap in kindergarten. Is that weird?
Not weird. I went to kindergarten only 2 days a week for 4 hours and I remember we had like a 30 minute rest with the lights out. In Canada there are 3 year olds (Sept to Dec birthdays) who will do a 6 to 7 hour school day, 5 days a week. I think its too much way too soon.

I don't like the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. It grosses me out to see people make out with multiple people like that. And the people on those shows are just AWs.

Yeah, some of the questions at ours were things like "how would you respond if your spouse bought a boat using shared money without your knowledge?" We were both like "um, whaaat? Who just goes out and buys a boat?" Pretty sure we'd be seeing red flags before that point.
But I do agree that counseling of some kind should be required. My brother and SIL are divorcing after 18 months of marriage for issues that could have been worked out with some counseling (at least, as far as I know, and I do know and acknowledge that I can't fully know all of the issues since I'm not one of the people in the marriage).
I'm also amazed at the amount of people who don't discuss basic stuff before getting married. I know that I talk everything to death, but yeah. How do you not discuss finances, or kids, or future plans. It makes me wonder what they talked about.

I actually agree. And that's the reason I like watching them. Lol

I get what you're saying, but from an outfit standpoint I'm really picky about it. If I'm wearing workout clothes, I love my neon pink sports bra showing with a black tank or something. But I just don't think bra straps with dressier outfits look good. My regular bras are nude or black and if showing, they usually won't match the outfit at all.
I think bra straps can be ugly or not match the outfit, and I'm the person who kept double sided fashion tape in my purse so I could keep my bra straps or neckline or whatever where I want it. But I get irritated that bra straps showing are indecent/trashy, even (especially?) in casual clothing. I'm cool if bra straps are not your style, but I don't like that they're taboo.

How the hell do you marry someone without discussing whether or not you want kids? This has always blown my mind.
I know couples who have gotten married & disagreed on whether or not to have kids, but that's different than never discussing it.
I think you might ght just be getting the wrong kind!
love me a coldcut sub!
No. I like subs. I do not want Subway meat and toppings for who knows how long they have been sitting there. Also, there is tuna water standing in the tuna salad. Vom.
Subway tuna is my jam. I wouldn't eat it while pregnant and wanted it right after delivery.
I'm sad that I could cross out the first word and this statement would still be true for me right now.
Nailed it. My (inappropriate) UO was gonna be that oral sex is a waste of my time. Receiving.
Oh girl, I'm so sorry. I miss it. I think DH is afraid to go down there after watching me give birth. He hasn't even tried. I was thinking the other day that I need to have an awkward convo with him and ask "wtf, dude."
I'm suddenly not so into oral. Which H loves (both ways). But I think he's okay with that because sex.
Agree about shower sex. A. I like the water way hotter than he does. B. We're the same height and it's still the most awkward thing ever. We sometimes enjoy showering together but there's basically no position that works.

I also love showering with DH. We do it about once a week because it seems like the only time we can really just talk. It is actually the most intimate time we have and it isn't sexual at all.

Absolutely agree. I just wish we had two shower heads with separate temp controls.
I love my high schoolers. While they can at times be challenging, I get to know them as people and relate to them in a way I wouldn't with younger students. They also catch on to jokes and can be pretty witty too.
