Man. People are just shitty.

I mean, REALLY shitty.

What's up with all of the "I'm not happy and I see that you are, so I'm going to make you unhappy by snarking at you online" crap? Don't people have anything better to do? Seriously? Why do they have to try to make others feel as miserable as they are. It makes me so sad that their lives are so messed up. What must their parents have done to them when they were little to make them turn out that way?

That is just awful! I can't believe those ladies! And funny, one of them is that gal who up and unfriended me after I made that really emotional post. Yeah, that right there said "really judgmental," even though she kept claiming she wasn't.

I have totally reported that to the mods.
That whole bit made ME feel really unwelcome, and I wasn't even the OP! I can't imagine how you feel. :-(
I don't follow all of the posts there, but I've never seen so much nastiness there before. Geez!


I know I wouldn't be happy with your situation, but it's not MY situation, so it doesn't matter! (Not only that, honestly I don't know the details at all, not even after reading some explanation... people should really not judge things until they've BEEN there to truly know all of the details.)
And as to this whole "OMG the poor children!" thing they're doing.... these are the same damn women who get all bitchy about how people try to tell THEM how to do things, "in the interest of the poor children."
Dood, hypocrites much?

ugh, who is snarking you?

wow where did all this happen???

The amazing thing about the anonymity of the internetz is that people will say the dumbest stuff because we don't _really_ know who they are IRL.

Dumb stuff. You be you. Because you're awesome.

Love!

i just read half of the crap going on and i want to say OMFG WTF'ING F?! seriously.

it makes me want to leave the community. i cannot believe the self-rightousness and utter rudeness and complete disregard for the possibility that THEIR way may not work for everyone.

god forbid any of us have a different situation going on. must be nice that all of them have such perfect husbands!!!!!!

i hope you found something lovely to do today with your little button, and i think you rock for apparently not letting their bullshit get to you.

xoxoxoxoxox

happy mother's day!!! (gawd!)

I nearly left that community when I read all that BS. It is so so sad that these ladies feel that was an okay thing to do, especially (hate to be all sentimental here) on Mother's Day. I mean, we're all doing our best. They don't know your situation, and the anonomity of the internet often brings out the worst in people.
I wanted to say sorry to you on their behalf, though really you deserve an apology from them. It seems to me that a few people here on LJ-land just love to target you and alienate you, and that is so unfortunate. :/
Amber, I don't know a whole lot about your life and it's hard to see the whole picture through a computer screen. I personally would have a problem if Kevin would rather spend all his free time doing things that excluded me "because he works 6/10's." We all workhard- your little girl is thoroughly exhausting if she's anything like my daughter. A marriage is a partnership and a family is a team. If you are happy where you're and it's working for the three of you than by all means keep going, mama! I think you are a really strong, amazing, talented woman who has done more for her daughter than I ever could, so you be proud of yourself and nevermind the insecurity that showed up a bazillion times on that thread. You're awesome.

Happy Mama's Day, and happy birthday, too. You rock my socks.

I did not see what was said to you, but I am truly sorry for shitty people. This is what makes me very hesitant to reply to anything in communities - people like that. The thing is that to your face they would never be that way because they probably have a sad life without any happiness and probably have nothing going for them like you do. As you say and they need to make themselves feel better by putting others down and will latch onto something small that you may say and just run with it.
Personally I think that you are great and that is why I made you one of my friends - which says a lot for me since I only have 5 and only 2 of which reply to my posts from time to time. (Hmmm maybe I need to do something about that - heh)
Anyways Happy Mothers Day and take care.

By the way Happy Birthday too.

molly-coddled & made them feel they were entitled to everything good.

they never knew there'd be bad in the world.
