I HATE cream cheese! Cannot eat it any way, shape or form...not even in baked goods.

I don't mind cream cheese, but I can't eat a ton of it.  I can't stand cream cheese brownies though!
ETA: Definitely no to cheese cake 

My UO, I hate syrup!  Its too sweet.  Pancakes, french toast and waffles all get butter and nothing else.

My family eats cream cheese and olives blended together as a dip with chips at the holidays. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. Put cream cheese in or on almost anything and I will eat it.

I love cream cheese.

+1!  My grandma used to make us cream cheese and black olive sandwiches.  oh and pickle dip = BOMB!

kind of random but I don't like little girls in beauty pageants with all the hair and crap all over their face.  It gives me the icks

Probably a big UO- I hate Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies.

I have zero desire to ever take our kids to a mall over the holidays to get a photo of them on Santa's lap. Everytime I see a mall Santa it reminds me of David Sedaris's book 'santaland diaries' and I just can't with the mall elves and mall Santa

Also, another seemingly UO: hard tacos are superior to soft tacos.

It depends on the taco. If it's chicken i prefer hard shell. If it's fish I prefer soft. But I'm a huge Mexican food fan so I'll usually eat whatever is on my plate! Bring on the margaritas too!

I'm so desperate for our baby to sleep. if DH wants a cold house I'm going to propose he sleep in a tent in our back yard. I'm not kidding.

[erbear]

I hated math growing up but now I love teaching it. We get to play with things!

[gilder40]

I also dislike Thin Mints or whatever the fancy name for them is. But I like mint Oreo ice cream.

Love cream cheese. Love math and puzzles and things that are challenging to my brain. Love all Mexican foods.

My opinion, unpopular: I LOVE the flavored tootsies!!!! Gimme all of them! Yum.

I guess I'm just in a lovey mood today.

[nchauhan]

I love cream cheese on bagels and for cheesecake!

Only butter goes on my pancakes and waffles.

Nerds unite, my favorite class was AP calc. I wished I could get paid to integrate and derive all day. I even had a shirt made that said "don't drink and derive".

My UO: I drop T off at daycare even on my days off when I have nothing to do. Sometimes I like sitting in a bubble bath with a bottle of wine and not have to worry about baby. This is a huge UO with our friend group.

How is that possible?!? Those are the only ones worth getting! (Possibly my UO... All other Girl Scout cookies are meh, at best.)
And as long as I'm thinking about cookies: I don't like most people's homemade cookies because they are almost always super hard. Crunchy cookies disappoint me.

I just don't see the drive for them.  I like Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream just don't like Thin Mint cookies... Though whenever I see them for sale I buy a box or two for the hubby to keep at home.

Pretty sure this is an UO: i love math. When I was in high school I would look forward to math homework, and often would do math problems for fun.

I love math, too. And hey, I get paid to derive and integrate and calculate all the things all day. Soooo yay.

My opinion, unpopular: I like the common core math that people always post and complain about. The examples I see are always the way I do math in my head

The "common core" math has been around longer than common core. I see math done that way in DD's textbook, which is not CC aligned.

I think we need some photographic evidence that this shirt exists...

Hmm...I bet they're in a box somewhere, full of "last day of school" pictures from high school developed from those one time use cameras

Fellow math nerd here. I still love organizing and calculating numbers and data.

Sick and wrong. Weird people. Unless it's money or baking, no thank you.

I don't want to take my kids to the mall santa, but I love seeing those photo fails where the kid looks petrified of him.

[erbear]

Maybe common core math is why I love math now, @kej0004. People that complain about it have no real reason other than "what was wrong with the way we learned it?" Or "change!!!!!111".

Whenever people post about not understanding their kids' homework, I want to tell them they're just not very good at math. It may not be the way you would work it out, but if you literally can't understand it, that probably means you never really understood the concepts in the first place...

I'm totally going to be one of those people who complain about their kids homework...specifically math.  I hate math.  Like not just dislike it but hate it.  I am terrible at it and thank GOD for calculators.  Science, History and English I got that shit on lock but math can fuck right off.

ETA: I'm already saving for a math tutor...just sayin

Even though I loved school, I think a lot of those subjects and how they were taught can go fuck off.  At least in high school and undergrad, I wish someone would have taught me how to budget, or how to invest in retirement/stocks and how to change a flat tire. I was woefully under prepared for adulting

I agree with the Common Core math stuff. It's basically trying to teach the kids different ways to see math and break it down. I think people with good number sense tend to do that stuff anyway. I've always broken down problems like 42+68 into 42+8+60 to get 110. Just easier to me. But it is difficult to teach those strategies to kids who struggle with math.

Not a UO here, I wish I could do this. The good and bad thing about our DCP is that she follows the school schedule, so if H and I are off, so is she. I would have to take a day off from school to have him go to DC and for me to be alone (which I may do in December to go shopping alone)

+1: Our DCP also follows our school schedule. Fantastic when we don't have to pay for holidays and summer, sucks when you can't have a day to yourself without taking off.

I'll sit with you on the math nerd bench. AP calculus was my favorite class.

I like math. But calculus? No thank you.

This.

I dislike the common core math, it just seems weird. But it is fairly simple to understand IMO. I grew up doing some program called CSMP in elementary school.

[jessila]

I hated cream cheese until maybe high school?

Soft tacos are superior.

The best way to eat Thin Mints is when they are frozen. Or in a milkshake.

I always went to see Santa. DH didn't. I don't think O will because I don't want to deal with it. DH figured out when he was 4ish that Santa wasn't real because he's very logically minded.

Math is terrible. I guess I can't like any of you anymore. Except wegrowsheep. Math is for money and baking. And music.

[tatersalad]

1. Cream cheese does not belong in sushi.
2. Bottle of wine in bathtub is the best way to spend the afternoon while kids are at school or with sitter. Not unpopular with my crew of mom friends.
3. Hate math. Not looking forward to this common core nonsense.

[Deleted]

ALL the cream cheese right here.

Thin mints, meh.

Ground beef tacos = hard shell. Fajita style steak or chicken = soft. /gavel

Santa = meh. But I'm mean and love to do it at the age they will most likely scream because LOLZ at the pictures.

Math is the devil. Common core can just get the fuck out. When my DH, who used to proof and edit physics and calculus books for a living, cannot help our 3rd grader with his math homework, there is a serious problem.

I have no UO of my own today... yet. But it's still early and I'm just now drinking caffeine.
