But if you'd like to read...go to 3rd tri and read the post: just an observation about single parents...something like that. At first I wasn't going to alert you ladies to it's existence but I believe it's more uplifting than harmful...seems women realize how strong you ladies are...and I told my story, I was a single parent for over a decade and two weeks of marriage will not erase that! I wear my badge proudly because I can point to my smart, beautiful, kind daughter and say "I did that"!!!

I of course had to find this post!
It is sad that the op seems to think she could never be in the situation that any of us are in. No one ever does, and yet no ones marriage is 100% safe.
I hope the next time she wants to go around being so openly judgemental she thinks before she speaks!
LaurieB - YOU DA GIRLLL. I love you! And I wish that I can be as independent as you one day in the near future, I am working towards it!
To that OP - what a tool, seriously. I am glad she thinks our situations are funny. She doesn't even know me, how I got here etc. Cause it is just SOO much fun and hilarious that our baby's fathers are all douche bags. And for somebody like myself who didn't want to be in this place, hence why I tried so hard for it to work between us because I was afraid to be looked down upon from people like her. I suffered through beating after beating until I could not take it anymore. I find it heartwarming that she finds a situation as messed up as mine humorous.
I don't wanna wish anything bad on her cause I try to be more of a Christian women everyday, but if I was my old self I would most likely wish that her DH would be 'uninterested' in her and the baby.
Once I moved up on the babies boards 0-3 and 3-6, you know how many people complain about their DH because he doesn't get it and he doesn't help out like they should?
She will find out. Pretty soon she will be knocked off her high horse.
I love you ladies more and more every day... you all just make me all warm and squishy.
This is something I have wanted to jump up on a soapbox about SO many times... people over there wah wah wah'ing about how DH doesn't help and how they can't do everything alone and they can't take it anymore. And yet, here we are...doing it...alone....every dang day. And doing it well! And (mostly) without complaint and with tons of appreciation. I would never wish bad things on anyone, I just hope those people who think that way never end up on our end of the boards... Every time I see a post like that I just sit on my hand and roll my eyes.
After reading her bio I think that post may be the insecurity in her own relationship. She's 22 y.o old, had an "accidental" pregnancy and already had ups and downs that they are working through. I wish her the best but it is odd that she thinks she is the right person to judge the people on this board.
Laurie... as I stated over on the other board, you are my hero.
Actually, all you ladies are my hero! You all are wonderful mothers and I am very grateful to have a place to go when I feel like I need someone. Thank you.
You didn't miss anything. Basically she thought that everyone on the tri 3 board would side with her and the whole board turned against her and stuck up for us. It was pretty cool though. LOL. Laurie made us all cry.
