Kori---re: you PABST about me not congratulating MMML

summerbrideDC

It's funny you should mention this (I just got in and saw your post from earlier). ?it's clear to me lately that you don't really think a lot of me, and that's fine.?

It's true, I didn't offer any congratulations to MMML and honestly, I think she probably respects that and would see any congrats from me as insincere. ?So I kept my mouth shut. ? Do I wish her any harm or illwill? ?Of course not. ?I would certainly not want anything bad to happen to her, her child, her family.?

But I'm not going to go gushing congrats to her, either. ?I think that would be hypocritical, given the nature of our "relationship", and it certainly wouldn't come off as sincere. ?

Given that I've kept my mouth completely shut about her BFP, but others have openly snarked about it, I have a hard time understanding why you feel the need to call me out specifically, but it's certainly your right to do so. ?

i think you handled it the "classy" way. i am not sure what the call out was for.

Ditto this and I'm not getting a bitter or unhappy vibe from any of your posts.  I'm confused.

I thought it was pretty rotten. Now people are getting called out for not offering a congrats? That's just silly. Whatever happened to silence is golden?

See, when I read the PABST I assumed you HAD mad a snarky comment to her about it.  Now that would seem bitter.  But if you've just kept your mouth shut then I'd have to agree with you here.  I think any thing you did offer wouldn't seem sincere anyway just because of the situation so it was better left unsaid.

Zenya

That was completely weird.  It's like she thinks you guys are really BFFs or something.  wtf?

I can see both sides yours and Koris.  A simple H&H 9months to you would have been good.  It wouldnt have been you gushing all over her just a simple gesture but you could have gone about it the way you did and that was ok to.  I like Kori and she isn't a meanie mcmeanie so I don't think it was meant to be hurtful

michaeltrish

I don't get this either.  I think not saying anything was the best choice under these circumstances.

Brewster

I wouldn't have said a word if I were in your position.  I don't respond to a lot of BFPs posted here.  No one says you have to. 

I like Kori too.  It's not personal.  I just wouldn't have said anything to someone who has been crappy to me, especially with a somewhat sensitive issue.

and FWIW I did not congratulate her, wish her luck, say "H&H 9 months"..nothing. But I truly think she is just a ragingbitch and a supreme a$$hole so I have no desire to say anything friendly to her. Why would anyone care if someone else just plain doesn't like someone else here?

eclaires

I'm just dumbfounded that anyone thinks MMML, of all people, could offer any type of heartfelt ANYTHING, let alone to someone she clearly dislikes.

And like a pp, when I read that post, I assumed you had made a snarky remark, not said nothing, which IMO, is the best way to deal with it.  Had you said "H&H 9 months" to her, I really doubt she would have accepted it graciously.

I mean didn't she call you a battery chicken or something else the other day?  She's not exactly civil... ever.

Zenya

But why should she say anything nice to her at all?  MMML recently said that FFM had the miserable life of a battery  hen.  HELLO??    I'm really stunned that anyone expects Sarah to say anything at all. 

 AND to imply that it has anything to do with the fact that FFM is TTC is obnoxious.

tigger1800

That reminds me...either I have been living under a rock or am really confused...off to google "battery chicken".  That's been bugging me since the weekend lol

summerbrideDC

I just can't believe I got called out for keeping my mouth shut. ?Seriously. Think about that! LOL

kevschickee2

WTH is a battery hen lol

JOEBunny

Wow.  I haven't been on much.  Why would someone who hated her child's demands on her life as much as MMML have another child?  Things that make you go uhmmmm...

ditto.  i'm not congratulating that psycho either.  i will probably even send a sympathy card to the baby when it's born.

Sorry, my intent was not to be obnoxious.  I just meant if I were in Sarah's shoes it would have been a sensitive topic with me.  I should have left that out altogether. 

Zenya

I didn't mean you brewster!  I meant Kori. Her OP seemed to imply that Sarah was just bitter b/c she is TTC.

Brewster

Oh, ok.  Gotcha!  I can see how what I wrote could be interpreted that way too.  I just didn't want Sarah to think I was being rude.

Starr_Mom

I haven't said anything either because I am also on Team SBDC/FFM. I think MMML is crazy and I feel sorry for the new baby as well as her son.
