I like pumping. To further explain the pumping Im lucky enough that my work let me pump in a pretty good size room. 8x8 closet. I did see a cockroach on the floor in their once but overall I got over it because I used work time to read, go online and text friends.
The only downside. The closet is next to the owner of our companies office. A 65yr old French man. once he asked me what I was doing in the closet for so long and we had an awkward conversation about pumping.

Omg! Lol! @poppyc8, that made me giggle! I do not mind pumping either for those reasons... While I unfortunately loose time and money when I have to pump, it is nice to get those three breaks a day to dork around on the computer, take a quick snooze, or stare aimless into space....
I still read the newspaper! I get the "digital edition" which is great for work, but I also get a physical paper delivered 3 days a week. I know this is a major UO but it's still my preferred news source.
I side-eye couples who "share" a FB account (ex JohnandJane Smith). Just be your own person and have your own accounts. If your husband doesn't have/want his own account, then don't drag him on to yours.
I feel the same way about shared emails. I can't ever just email my cousin because she only has a family email address.

I still read the paper daily too (or as often as I have time). I didn't realize it was a UO.
I work in media research. All the data tells me nobody reads the paper anymore compared to online news. There are many reasons for this, but one is that people won't pay for in depth news analysis when they can get headlines on their phone for free. It's sad, but I am definitely in the minority here. Glad I am not alone though!

budders, I totally agree. It's 2015, the internet wasn't just invented, you can figure out how to make your own accounts. There's nothing "cute" about sharing one. The only pass I have is for people over 70.

I still turn the local news on at lunch and supper lol, it was like that my whole growing up life and it seems weird to have anything else on at that time (with the exception of sports!)
ETA in fact, and I've never really thought about this before but I totally do it, if I see a local headline on fb I rarely click on the link and read the story, I think 'oh I'll have to watch for that on the news tonight!' Apparently I'm my dad.
And another... As I sit down to catch up on last night's episode. I love love love America's Next Top Model. Despite the fact that I hate the message the modeling industry send to girls about body image and how much Tyra annoys me, I cannot get enough of of the dimwit, bubblehead drama on that show. Totally my GP.
This is probably better for FFFC but I assume it will also.be unpopular.
I dont watch the news at all... Its to depressing. However now that I have a DD at home i feel like I need to start watching it. But at the same time I dont want to see how a girl had her whole class walk out on her because she identifies as a girl and thus wants to use the girls bathroom at school and they feel she is just a preditor.

I hardly watch too because it's usually the first 15 mins filled with terrible car accidents around town (half of which I saw during my commute TYVM asshole drivers!) Plus the news anchors here are...um...how do you say kinda dumb in a nice way?

I don't like onesies that proclaim my daughter is a princess. I just returned a shirt my mil bought her (in a size 2t!) that said "perfect princess" mostly because I don't like the princess stuff.
Also because, you know, she's currently barely in 3 months and I'm not keeping toddler clothes yet.

This is more of a fffc, but I sent in an application to ANTM in college! I had a buzz cut and was super skinny at the time. I thought they might cast me as the edgy possible lesbian type

I yell at SO every time he calls Jules princess. She doesn't have any princess stuff. I also hate it. It disgusts me for some reason.

Girl I love me some ANTM! Although I haven't been able to catch the most recent season. Whenever the older seasons are on TV, I totally DVR them to watch in my downtime, lol
The coed seasons are the BEST! All those princess, diva guys thrown into the mix... Mmm hmm.

Another paper subscriber here. I grew up reading a daily paper and now subscribe to our local daily. I tend to stay off of national news websites and feel I miss so much info on the web edition. I also like that I can finish the paper, whereas online can be a downward spiral of time suckage.

On the boy side of this, I refuse to let V wear anything that talks about being a "chick magnet" or the ladies loving him. I'm okay with things that talk about him being cute or handsome for now, but once he has more of a personality and interests, I don't want that to be the part of him that we focus on anymore.
Yup. I just returned a Ladies Man onesie. Just nope.
My rather tame clothing UO is I can't stand the colored camo that is so popular around here. Meaning pink camo, purple, ect. Yuck. Camo is for hunters or the military.

So I didn't even think about this from the boys side. I just bought a girlfriend of mine coveralls from target that have a picture of a muffin that and say "Stud Muffin". Do you think I should return and get something else? Also she asked for only clothes for her Sprinkle. She had no boys clothes.

I bought the sleeper with that same design, and IMO it's super adorable. And not the same as the "chick magnet" etc ones..
I can't stand when parents dress their kids (especially twins) in top to bottom identical outfits. They are 2 different people, with different personalities and interests. Just because H likes Minnie Mouse doesn't mean A does.

Early fffc: I've already bought LO Christmas gifts. It's a huge deal to me, even if she won't remember it. I was less than a month old for my first Christmas and my parents still had gifts wrapped. It's just what we do.
