Why do I go to the SP board? WHY? It's like a car wreck. I can't help but look. Some of those damn women are so fvcking stupid. Apparently you cannot say you are happy with your life because you are obviously lying.

Because no one can like their life? Dear God, I hope I never become that jaded.

Rant over.

Ok, I'm curious. What is SP?

Why DO you go there?

I don't think they're jaded. I think they have that similar board "bond", like any other board on here and are going to stick up for their fellow SP'er when they deem it necessary. 

IMHO, Lurky, I think they're just tired of you. And would say anything to see you stay away. Or, some of them cream their pants at the slight mention of your name. I'm not sure which...but it's got to be one of those.

Honestly, you do seem to be an almost unhealthy level of obsessed with the happenings of the SP board, some of the regs in particular.  I'm not saying you're not happy with your life, or that I even disagree with most of your opinions, but I think you need to step back and not invest so much e-energy with them.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I enjoy trainwreck as much as the next person, but you've reached the point of stalking over there.  It's kind of getting old and creepy.

I tend to agree w/ Balls and Leslie.

There is lots of good stupid all over the Bump; I don't even think that board compares to some of the others.

So it's impossible to be happy as a single parent?

umm... No! I am very happy despite my situation, but I would be lying if I said it was easy to get to that place. It takes a lot of work to pull yourself out cesspool some of us were dumped in. I am happy now, but I am human and have bad days. I think anyone who goes through a trauma does.

I think 99% of us on this board get this.  I've often lurked on SPing but that is because I grew up with a single parent and occasionally feel like I have something to add.

Oh, I know it's not impossible.  I wondered what Lurky thought.  I was a single mom for 7 years.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Well, this is an interesting post.

While, I don't always disagree with you lurky, I'm curious as to why you're obsessed with the SP board. Or is it just certain people on the SP board?

blondnearby

I am a SP, however, I don't post there often because some of the posters irritate the hell out of me.  As far as being happy, I am much happier as a SP than I was married for reasons I wont get into on here.  I don't feel happiness is an every day feeling though.  I am very content in who I am today after my separation/divorce.  I have found out that I am a strong person and that not much can get me down.

But Lurky, I have a question for you.  Is your obsession with us, SPs, have to do with your own personal life?  Do you come to the board to read our "crappy situations" to make you feel better about your own?

Of FFS.

I do think it's possible to be a happy, single mom. I think it's ridiculous how 9 times out of 10 when someone posts over there and disagrees with the regulars, or says something that the poster doesn't want to hear, it automatically goes to "you must be unhappy with your life." There is a select group of posters who apparently think that if you disagree with them, you are obviously not happy with your life. Which is fvcking stupid. As I posted yesterday, I am happy in my marriage and with my life. I really could not care less if internet strangers believe that or not, because I know that it's true.

When I am on TB, it is primarily to kill time. BOTB has been boring as fvck lately, as has TTGP. So, I go to SP because there is always some entertainment there. IMO, it's no different than the people who go to that selfie chick's blog and post here about it.

I will admit, you have a point.

We all have our guilty pleasures, no?

Then if every place is that boring, why even come on TB?  There are plenty of other awesome time killers on the internet.   ::cough:: Pinterest ::cough::  LOL

I think it is the amounts of time you spend over there that makes people think you may be unhappy. It is common for those who are unhappy with themselves or their lives to take pleasure in the plights of others.

You may just be bored, but it's not like the people who think you may be unhappy don't have a reason to have this opinion. KWIM?

ETA- grammar

Sorry, I don't think me posting there automatically makes me unhappy. If I comment on the selfie chick's blog regularly, would that make me a narcisstic weirdo?

I maintain that you are a special kind of loser if your sole purpose of coming on TB is to bully and degrade other posters. However, you lurky, take that to a whole new level. How awesome for you that your life is so put together that you get your jollies by seeking out single mothers to trash talk and torment.

I'm so very glad that in your mind, you would handle being a single mom with much grace and dignity. It is so very easy to say how you would do something or how you would handle something when it is happening to someone else.

You know the thing about car wrecks? Yes, people do slow down to look when they are passing by them. But, it takes a sick kind of weirdo to seek them out so they can point and laugh.

I get being bored, and lurking around for entertainment (and that trainwrecks can be a good entertainment factor).  Heck I do it myself sometimes, I won't deny that.  I also get occasionally posting on them, even if you don't "belong" to the board or whatever.  It just seems like the majority of your time on TB lately is spent picking at the regs of the SP board.  I don't know if your bump time is actually spent like that, but it does seem like it.  Like I said, I don't even really disagree with your opinions over there, but at this point it's just falling on deaf ears because your posting there is becoming dangerously close to obsessive. 

And FTR - I also think the number of Selfie posts that are made just to complain about her are becoming a bit ridiculous too, but at least those seem to be made by a small variety of people and not the same poster over and over.

Oh get over yourself. LJF is a trainwreck. Achase is an annoying AW. It's no different than if someone like oh BAH would post here today. How many people would get snarky with her just for shiit and giggles?

I think a lot of people post about her b/c they're somewhat envious.  She's beautiful and obviously lives a pretty pampered existence.  I think her blog is silly and obviously eyeroll worthy, but it doesn't get me all riled up.  I do think it will be fun to read once she has the baby, since all hell is going to break loose in her perfect house. 

I'm also not going to knock on someone for being that disciplined about her health.  She's a little extreme but good for her for taking such good care of herself.

Oh Lord, even now you are ranting about the same old thing. I'll get over myself as soon as you get over your weird obsession with the SP posters.

You seem to get off on having this online persona of "telling it like it is." I mean you did a call out on Robin for posting like, 2 posts about CL. Well, here you go duckie, a whole post of people telling you that you have reached an unhealthy obsession with the SP board. If it were anyone else with daily rantings over a specific board and posters, you would have no problem calling them out.

Instead, of owning up to the fact that you have gone overboard you are too busy stomping your feet and sputtering, "but...but, they deserve it!!"

Yeah, Robin definitely posted more than 2 CL posts. If I thought I was going overboard, I would admit it. But I don't, so I won't.
