I don't think birthday wishes are required to be 'public'. It's your birthday, I say 'happy birthday' its over. No need to get butthurt that I didn't post on your facebook feed as well.
Why no, I didn't wish you a happy birthday on Facebook...I called your fucking house.
Seriously? If I wish you a happy birthday by card, text or phone call, why do I also have to 'publicly' acknowledge your birthday? JFC.
Mine is super unpopular. I don't like thank you cards. I understand why they exist and that it's nice to send them out, but I hate them.
I would rather never get a gift ever than write a thank you card.
I'll compromise and say that I think a thank you card is a good idea for something out of the blue or unexpected. But if you choose to buy me something for my birthday or Christmas, and I thank you 10 times in person, I think that should be enough.
I grew up without thank you cards. Nobody ever did them and I didn't know they were a thing. My MIL is crazy about them and I think she legit buys random shit for us so she can complain that I don't get thank you cards out in time.
Bottom line, I send them now. But I don't have time to and I wouldn't if I had the option.
Along with the facebook UOs, I hate it when people feel the need to chronicle every minute of their day. I've hidden most people from my feed that post too much (I don't usually unfriend so that I can stalk at my leisure).
This UO is brought to you by my facebook friend's profile that has 13 status updates that his wife tagged him in, all from yesterday.
Ah yes, the Facebook UO's... I completely agree that I hate when people post everything that happens. I extremely hate when it's other moms who complain every second about how their kid cries all the time, about how LO doesn't nap, that she has all this laundry, dishes, and LO won't sleep long enough for her to clean the house, she sleep deprived, blah blah blah. Sorry kid! WELCOME TO MOTHERHOOD! I also hate when people say "I hate Drama! It's stupid!" And then continually post things that cause drama... Just.Stop.

Who actually complains about this?
DH hates the public acknowledgements from people he doesn't know so he either disables his walls in his birthday or changes the date often so he never actually has a birthday on it.

apk4 my uncle (I could write a book of stories about my uncle) sent me a letter and left me a voicemail asking for a thank you card for something he gave me. He also refuses to donate a huge pile of stuff to charity because last time he did that they didn't send him a thank you note.

I guess its just my crazy, attention-seeking SM. But wow, did I get a bunch of messages from her, my granny, my step sister, etc telling me I should have posted Hbd wishes on her wall.

It is just to make them look popular...
I actually hate FB birthday wishes, it just makes me think they haven't actually remembered the persons birthday. FB has reminded them and they have gone 'shit! it's their birthday, better write on their wall!'
My top 3 FB pet peeves: 1) people who are vague (I.e. My life sucks) and are seeking attention. If you want to complain just say what the problem is. 2) people who talk to each other over FB who live together. If it's your husband's birthday just tell him. 3) as stated above, people who write every moment of their life. I totally love seeing photos and hearing stories, but I don't need to know your kid took a poop.
If it's someone's birthday I will either text, email, call or write to FB.
I only do photo thank you cards because I can't bring myself to spend money on something so generic where I will just write thank you for the gift. I also hate them and would rather people not spend the time sending me one.
The new layout of TB sucks! Either that or it's just that I don't like change.

My mom was all upset that she didn't see a post from me on DH's wall on his birthday. I told her that I was with him all day and said it in person. He never checks FB and asks me to update his stuff half the time. So it'd basically be like wishing myself HBD. Of course DH had to post on my wall for my birthday this year. Cue mom pointing out how sweet he was. ::eye roll::
My UO is that I love this community so much- all you ladies are awesome, but how do you keep up with it?!? Seriously, the only days I find time to post are days I'm off from work. Even on those days I struggle because something always needs more attention (DS, the dogs, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, meal prep). You must be way better at managing your time than me. I don't even try to keep up or participate in the randoms, FFFC, or posts that have more than 100 replies... Too overwhelming!
I have decided that I do not like the constant changing love it. I know we have talked about it before, but I just think it can seem a bit inappropriate if we are discussing a sad topic. Like I just asked for high fives, by love titting peoples T&Ps. Hmm...
I hate getting Thank you cards. I seriously don't even read them. I send them out of obligation, but when I get one in the mail, I see thank you on the front, open it to see who sent it, so I can confirm I received it if asked, and it goes in the garbage. I don't think I could tell you the last time I read the actual message. I'm just not a huge fan of mail in general. My FIL, a mailman, would hate to hear this, but I'd rather get all my mail on one day each week, so only once a week I'd have to go through the pile instead of everyday.

We've made this board our lyf. Nothing is more important than probing.
Not sure this will be unpopular, but I believe the only baby clothes should be Carter's. They hold up better, feel nicer, and usually are way cuter. I got other brands as gifts, but mostly only use them as emergency outfits to keep in the diaper bag. This may be UO: I went to a Just Between Friends sale yesterday and it was terrible! Ridiculous prices for used stuff, some of the stuff was in terrible shape and/or ancient. People rave about these. I don't get it. There were a ton of toys, but nothing I needed.

Couldn't agree more! I love carters clothing.
I also have gone to 2 JBF sales and was disappointed at both. At least for the clothing. Way too expensive for used clothing. You are better off shopping the clearance racks.

Nothing but Carters?! $22 pair of pajamas, joy..
Also the JBF sales are hit or miss. The best day to go is the last day of the sale where most items are 50% off. The last one I went to I spent $35 and got about 30 clothing items and a puzzle for Layla that was brand new.

I've honestly never paid that much for anything at Carters. It seems like every day is a sale, so I never pay full price. I just bought a bunch of sleepers for $3.99 each. My mom went yesterday and bought a bunch of stuff 40% off and got an extra 10% off because Wednesday is Grandparents Day.

I'm definitely not a fan of Carter's - I find some of their materials to be harsh, and hate the sayings on many of their onesies. I LOVE pima cotton because I think it's ridiculously soft, and S has a ton of it. Also love baby gap and a few boutique brands. Never heard of JBF, but I do buy used smocked outfits via resale groups on facebook.

Sometimes I intentionally don't wish someone a happy birthday on facebook. Specifically people who never respond to my comments to them and never comment or like my posts. Maybe that sounds like I'm a little butthurt, and to be honest I probably am. But if you're going to ignore me when I try to start actual conversations with you then F you on your birthday! You'll get no generic birthday wishes from me!

I love me some baby gap. They are freaking adorable. DS has an outfit from there that has a goofy seagull on it that says "when's lunch?" and it makes me giggle every time he wears it. I like some Carter's but the sayings are meh for me too.

I'm almost always mobile so I never know what I'm saying when I love tit something. I always wonder if I'm being supportive or rude lol I mean I know its always meant to be supportive but it feels inappropriate if you say your kid is sick or something and the love tit is "thinks that's swell" or whatever.

I just tried to type my UO for like 10 minutes but kept getting distracted by darwinfish 's Perfect Strangers siggy gif and gave up.
This makes me so happy because I was worried everyone was thinking who are those people?!?!
Dude, no. I loved that show back in the day. I camped out in front of the TV for that lineup - Perfect Strangers, Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Dinosaurs...AHH! Miss those times.
