I'm struggling to think of one tbh...oh! I have no problem eating raw fish sushi while preg. I eat at a very reputable place where I know their prep practices. I wait till third tri to indulge, but I do it.

I'm not sure if this is an UO or not. But I would not want to be a SAHM. I have nothing against mothers that choose that route. It's awesome they can be there like that for their children. However, even if we could do it financially I WOULD GO INSANE. I was home with my son for 8 days over Christmas and MH worked the majority of the time (retail). I thought I was going to lose it.

I suck at UO Thurs and FFFC... but I'll give it a try. I love snow and wish it would snow here (Carolinas) more often than once a year for a couple of hours.
I agree that it's wrong what TB did to the mods and regulars, banning them without notice, but I'm not going to lose my shit over it. But then, I'm a SAHM and reading all the drama provides entertainment so I don't go insane like quietdownfish suggested. :-) Gotta go now...almost time to drop DD off at Mother's Day Off and then I'm off to the barn to go ride my horse. Need some horsey time!
Here's one I feel bad about (and very well might catch some crap for): When I hear a woman say "giving birth naturally is my greatest accomplishment," my first thought is "there's a woman who hasn't accomplished very much."
I say this despite the fact that I went mostly unmedicated the first time (induced with pitocin, no epidural), and hope to do so again.

Props to you SAHM, I could never do it!
YUP. I was coming off a terrible job when my son was born, so I was expecting to take significant time off as a SAHM. I realized 2 months in that I am simply not cut out for. It wrecked my self esteem, was rough on my marriage, just bad. I was raised by a SAHM, and know many I respect deeply, but I have to work. Non-negotiable.
Alright, I've probably got a really uo. I'm not crazy, I swear. I just see no reason why prostitution shouldn't be legal. No, I've never been a prostitute, nor enlisted the services of one. I just think, if you have a talent and that's how you wanna make money, go for it. If it's legal, it would be safer for workers and patrons alike. *shields face from coming onslaught*

I am a WAHM mom and it is not easy yo, for exactly the reasons you said. I love my kids and I love teaching them/hanging with them but man, it can get boring. All SAHMs probably have those moments if we're honest, where we go a little batty. I def need to work harder on keeping a social life than before.
I don't find ryan gosling attractive. Wearing a cardigan in and of itself does not make you hot. However the right guy in a cardigan and it's another story.

This is not as unpopular as you may think. While there are good arguments to be made to the contrary, many people feel this way. Look at Europe! Prostitutes have unions and legal protections. and, of course, particularly damaging kinds of prostitution (minors) are still illegal.

Right there with you. My Best Friend starts back to work tomorrow and she is devastated that she has to go back. She would love to just stay at home. She also doesn't have a toddler yet, so maybe she would change her tune when she does
Anyways, we were talking about it and I thought to myself "Man, maybe I don't have that strong maternal instinct after-all? I look forward to Daycare on Monday after some weekends!" I did cry the first week of drop- off, he was only 6 weeks old, and my first but I got over it pretty quickly!
It also helps that I enjoy my job.
My UO: I do think, within a family, you can "call dibs" on a name. I don't actually look at it as "calling dibs" but here is the scenario I think of: SIL and I talking about our "next baby names" she has a name for a girl she wants to use and I have a name for a girl I want to use.. who knows which one of us will have a girl, but if she used my name? I would seriously side-eye her and then make sure she knew that I will 100% still be using the name if I were to have a girl. When those types of situations happen, I think the other person to use the name is just being a total bitch.

If I'm not mistaken its on the way to becoming somewhat legal in Canada. Keep those ladies safe!

As a ftm I don't know if the second and third trimesters will be enjoyable enough to make me ever want to go through this first trimester shit ever again. The worry about every cramp and spot of blood along with the three month long hangover without the fun of the night before... Just makes me never want to do this again. Still hoping this UO changes when I get to see my little sunshine this August though.

This was me last time around. For the record, when I saw her I fell madly in love -- but I never magically "forgot" how shitty and difficult pregnancy was. Some women do, some don't. I didn't, and for an entire year plus I said, "I don't understand how people do it more than once." I probably even said it the day before I got my BFP. Yet, here I am - doin' it. That's the beauty (and the curse) of being a woman - we just do.
I guess that's my UO, too -- I suck at them. I'm too much of a people-pleaser.

Agree word for word. Except for MDO. TWO WEEKS. Two weeks until it starts for us and I can go ride my pony. Hot damn!
I don't love the show Friends. I don't get the obsession. **************STUCK IN THE QUOTE BOX****************AB, we were doing so well together. We had a good thing going...
I don't take my H to RE (or OB) appointments with me. Literally drove myself with his stuff in a cup for all 4 IUIs.
I mean maybe he should be there for NT scan or AS scan, but I see no point in us both taking time away from work for regular appointments.
I like to make sure my husband is inconvenienced just as much as I am by this pregnancy, but based on how often he is the only father around I would guess your opinion is more popular than you realize.

If you are a grown person who uses terms like 'haters' in a serious manner, I know that I cannot take you seriously. I eye-roll. Are you 12? I feel like 'haters' as a concept has become less about people who dislike you for no reason (and those people do exist) and more about saying that even if other people bring up legitimate concerns over something, they're obs just jelly haters. See also: so many posts about baby showers.
I agree with seeca022b (how do you tag, btw?) about names. I don't think you can get mad if a Facebook friend that you don't really talk to uses a name you were thinking of, but if it's someone that you've talked to about names and you've laid out what you like, I do think it's kind of a bitch move for that person to use that name without talking to you. My best friend and I talk names all the time, we have similar styles but like different names. She straight up told her H that they couldn't use a certain name because 'that's Bee's.' I appreciate that.
I don't like monogramming. I know my fucking initials, I don't need a reminder! I've also been asked several times by women who were completely serious how we were going to get our baby things monogrammed if we are team green and not picking a name until we meet our child. Obviously that should be a bigger concern for me than focusing on having a healthy pregnancy!
