New confessions thread

[v]

Anyone want to share confessions/unpopulars/etc.?

[raangoli]

I'm not sure a new thread can live up to the old one

[Deleted]

Gah, I didn't see what was in the other one. NO FAIRRRRR!!!

[jerseyjaybird]

Well, that was short-lived.

[Mimi]

:N:

[toesie]

oh COME ON! I missed it. I thought it was probably tame like usual so just skipped it.

Not even remotely possible.  Although, I didn't get to read Susie's.

It was paper-white pale in comparison.

I was bitching about a friend-turned-(hopefully temporarily)-bridezilla.  Those sorts of things are often best dd'ed anyway, lest you find out the hard way that the bride is a lurker.

Agreed.  We finally have a thread with potential on MM and poof!  It disappears.  

So disappointing!  I'm glad I got to see page 1 but I WANTED TO READ THE REST. 

Someone better tell me why individual posts couldn't just have been deleted instead of the whole damn thread!

I was wondering this too!

Thanks! He was born on Monday 8/4. I guess I didn't really announce on MM. There is a birth story on MMM. pandce.proboards.com/thread/357344

I was nervous that we would have an ugly baby. Based on my baby pictures, I was not cute.

I am what's wrong with MM flamefuls threads. :-$

Yes -- babies! Let's talk about babies!

Unpopular opinion: A lot of babies are NOT cute.

Mine is!

[aurora]

Congratulations, rbp!

Said every mother everywhere.

So is mine. Seriously.

I think this is fact, not an unpopular opinion.

(However, it's perfectly ethical to lie to new parents' faces on the matter.)

rbp! He's genuinely beautiful. Congratulations!

I hate having to come up with compliments for not-cute babies (I was one). I used to use "precious," but Lord of the Rings ruined that.

Nope. Kid 2 had some serious uglification going on as an infant. He had jaundice, goopy eye, baby acne, and scalp issues. It wasn't pretty and we owned it immediately.

I use precious. I haven't read/watched LOTR!

LOL, this is awesome

"He looks just like Benjamin Button."

This is the first thing out of DH's mouth after DS1 sprung from my loins.

I babysat a kid in HS that legit looked like yoda as a newborn. I have since had an irrational fear of yoda babies.

[Susie]

Today is my summer associate's last day and I am ecstatic.

To continue with the Lord of the Rings theme, I referred to him as Gollum all summer when talking about him to Calvin, for the way he would creep around the halls and in my office doorway.

My ex-MIL refused to believe that my ex-BIL (her son) was hers: "No. You brought me the wrong baby." He turned into a seriously handsome man, though.

[Mimi]

When I had DD, every time someone says she's cute/adorable/beautiful, I tell H 'of course everyone will say that regardless if it's true or not'

[rootbeerfloat]

I'm annoyed that I apparently missed something interesting.

People told me DS was a beautiful newborn. I thought they were just being kind. After seeing many more newborns, I eventually decided that they weren't, lol. Even DD wasn't quite as good-looking at first. It helped that he came out looking like a one-month-old.

I kind of chuckle when I see v or RockNVoll on MMM. I assume they must be super bored.

I'm firmly in the all newborns look the same camp. And I've had two. The nurse could have brought me any baby from the nursery and I probably would have taken it home.

Lucky my wrinkly, alien like newborn turned into a cute toddler.

This is not a confession, but it made me laugh - I just spoke to my mom who was looking for a card to give as part of a gift. She was insistent on finding one that cost .97 because "They are just going to throw it away anyway!"

My mom is so MM.
