I don't think it's ok for men to know nothing about babies... or have no input in their care. Is that what it sounded like I was saying? anyway, what I meant was I would not be surprised by men who don't read or research of their own accord. I just don't think men in general do that as much as women. And I really feel that, no matter how sexist it sounds, or how "modern" we all are now, in a man woman couple, a women generally does more of the child care/thinks more about the child(ren) and has their life most affected by the introduction of child(ren).
My husband is great with her, but no he wouldn't go read books about babies or join a forum about babies. It just wouldn't happen.
And I think if you, or anyone, thinks that is strange that I feel that is the case with most men, or that its very 1950s of me... well I think thats bullshit basically!

Here's the thing. My H wouldn't do this for ANYTHING. Not just kids. He'd just wing it. And, winging it with babies is way scarier than winging it with plumbing or car care.

I twirl my noodles and spaghetti noodles are my favorite to eat! I hate American "cheese" and won't eat it. I have never owned or touched a vibrator. I hate TV background noise but don't mind music in the background. I do not like cleaning but love a clean house.
For the love of God, demand toys WITH volume control.
I have straight up announced that toys that make noise will be returned. (It came up in a conversation, when I was basically having a panic attack because of a noise-making jumperoo.)
My mom and mil ask for Christmas list and on the bottom in large type it says " Loud, busy toys will be returned or thrown away. Please notice age recommendations and adhere to them, inappropriate toys will be returned or thrown away. Unable to donate for fear of torturing a fellow mom.". My mom thought it was funny, my MIL was highly offended.

Let's see...
Love cheddar cheese- the sharper the cheese the better. I can't eat many of them because of the rennet and enzymes are non-vegetarian (cow stomach's etc.). I think people who are vegetarians but don't care about that are fakers. Then again I'm too much of a cheese loving pussy to be a vegan, so what can I say...
Mayo is disgusting. Mayo as lube is slightly more acceptable.
People who don't like vibrators freak me out.
I can't eat regular spaghetti noodles. Textures are sooooo big to me. I just now started to be able to eat rice because it reminded me of maggots. Spaghetti remind me of worms.
Circuses suck. Power to the elephants- riding an elephant might have been one of the coolest moments of my life. He wasn't abused though!
I thought I would hate musical toys, but I mostly love them. I got this obnoxious Dora guitar for DS that is sooooo loud and has no volume control. The batteries disappeared. The rest of them are fine. I hate loud noises, etc., but the toys just don't bother me. I guess I just like how much he loves them.
Cleaning is horrible. I avoid it at all costs. I am a SAHM right now, but have pretty much 2 hours (at the best if I can get them to nap together) which I use to eat lunch, catch up on email, and work on etsy stuff, etc. I try and squeeze in the necessities like laundry, dishes, etc. so I have bottles and jammies ready for nighttime, but nothing else is a priority. I kept the kids alive all day, so my mission was accomplished. I left DH home alone for the first time in a loooong time last weekend and he practically threw them at me when I walked in the door. He stopped complaining about the messes after that and has actually started HELPING clean.

I don't hate vibrators. I've just never used one. I always "get there" pretty reliably with a good old fashioned hand that it never seemed necessary. I also fear getting "hooked" and being unable to come any other way.

oh yeah, and I HATED all character stuff and returned/sold the character baby clothes we got. I totally changed my mind once DS fell in love with sesame street and mickey mouse. There is nothing cuter than him running to his dresser and pulling open the drawer yelling MEEEEKEEE and grabbing his mickey shirt.

Yes!!! Hazel says Meemee and gets so happy. She is also in love with "Meemee" cheese. Mickey Mouse shaped cheddar.
ha, too cute. Linus can't handle mickey cheese yet. I keep trying but he shoves the whole thing in his mouth and chokes.
Mine is make-up related. And completely biased so that's why it's probably an UO.
It bothers me when blondes or people with non-existent eyebrows do all their makeup including eyes, and don't do anything with their eyebrows. As in, full mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and invisible brows. Fill them in a bit FFS. It just looks unfinished.
Says someone with non-existent brows, who gets them tinted. And fills them in when the tint fades.
My uo is that I met a real life extreme couponer at the grocery store the other day and she told me she would teach me how. I'm actually SO excited!
I am so so so jealous right now!
Me too, in a way! those people, like on the TLC show, are crazy!!! I still don't understand why you'd need 500 bottles of hand sanitizer, but when its like .50 cents, I can see why. I would just like to have the stock pile!

Some episodes the pointless stuff is what MAKES you the money so that basically buying 500 tubes of toothpaste PAYS for your meat or whatever you don't have coupons for. I'd love to try it but just don't have the room for a stock pile.

I think even people with "regular" brows could benefit from a bit of fill.
Says someone who practically waxes her off then draws them back on in brow powder.

Oh, I've got another one spinning off the eyebrows comments.
I find it so bizarre that people pluck, wax, do anything to their eyebrows. I am anti yanking hair out of my body, though, so there's that and I can just imagine that catastrophes that could arise from shaving eyebrows.

Yes. As a makeup artist, this KILLS me. Everyone should fill in their brows, even just a little bit if they are doing any sort of eye makeup. Or even if they dont have anything else on! Makes suuuch a huge difference. It makes me so sad when I do someones face and they wont let me do their brows or makes me take them off. Ahhh!
