Is it really hard to see a gray car in the rain? Yes. Especially if you live somewhere it rains a lot. I had a grey car in CA, moved it to TX, everything was fine. Moved it to MD and started having problems, I have since sold it and purchased a different color mom car. I still have a hard time seeing grey cars now, I have a grey car and have since traded with dh for my long commute to work. Despite always having my headlights on, I was almost merged into on the highways every time it rained. It's a combination of not being able to see it (the grey car) well and people not paying attention. |

grumpycat jrun2013 yes you read that correctly. No it's not a thing. It's just a thing her mom wanted to do. He was dressed as a dr. They had fun but it's not my thing.

I have never "announced" a pregnancy though, so personally I would never.

I think It's ok to turn down any invitation anytime for any reason (or no reason at all). FTFM Well it's apparently a mortal crime turning down a wedding invitation in my group of friends. Also texting two days before to wish the bride well on the big day and not the actual day of is extremely selfish of me. 👍🏼 Sorry your friends are assholes. |

Adult only weddings don't bother me as long as it's clearly stated ahead of time. But don't invite my family, say kids are welcome, mention that you have babysitters (who everyone assumed was optional) then not even have a seat at the table for the kids. This recently happened.

This same friend didn't come to my bridal or baby shower. She also announced her pregnancy at my bachelorette party. Of course not too me. I overhead her tell someone else. She is supposed to be one of my bffs. Clearly I am still bitter.

No means no and you are not required to provide a reason. This applies to just about everything

I mean, chances are the kids party is one of the few times the entire family/close friends are gathered. So I don't think it's that weird to announce a new baby. I'm assuming the birthday child is very young and DGAF. A two year old doesn't care about thunder, they care about cake. I'm also assuming the hosts are announcing. It would certainly be tacky to announce at someone else's party. I was going to say this. My SIL did this at her kid's 1st Birthday. It was a small family party, and everyone was in one place, which is damn near impossible. I don't know if I would do it myself but it didn't bother me. The 1 year old sure didn't give a shit. |

Mine too. No it's not. Maybe my idea of too short is just way different. You're oddly combative on this. I've found it difficult. So yes it is. Well mine was the iriginal opinion so I thibk you're actually the combative one in this scenario. But ok. |

I was going to say the same. As long as you actually rsvp then it doesn't really matter why. If you don't rsvp then you're just an asshole (from someone having a birthday party next weekend who hasn't heard from half of them) Yes, I've been hunting down RSVPs for DDs party this weekend all week. But I have not given any of the no's a hard time about it. Yep I'm about to start texting people. I'm pretty sure most of them are planning on coming but it would be nice if they would tell new. I think people just assume you know they'll be there. So I just do a " hey just wanted to see if you're coming to the party. We need a final headcount to make sure we have enough" and then I secretly hope they feel guilty for not responding. But they probably don't. |

I was in the 3rd row of a mini van and she was in the front seat. She was telling the girls in the front and I was kind of like "what did you say?" With as close as she claims we are, I think I should have been told not had to overhear it. |

I hate the smell of lavender and I wish it wasn't used in so many products.

Now I notify people of my pregnancy by text. Things have changed Yes, or really I'd rather not tell them at all and then announce the birth. That would be great. |

Oh your annoyed she didn't directly tell you. I thought you were annoyed she told someone at your party. |

I'm trying to imagine what I would say to my mom if I found out she hired a stripper for my baby shower...The only thing that's coming to mind is "God why?!" Yea I would be very uncomfortable if my mom hired a stripper for me. |

I'm not WKing, she may also just be a bitch. Nah. She is just selfish. She doesn't drink much to begin with so no one would have bat an eye at it if she doesn't. Truthfully the only people that drank at my very low key bachelorette party was my aunt and stepmom. We went to a comedy club and they were drinking wine. |
