Ok, I cannot help myself any longer. What was the point of changing your SN if you were just going to come back declaring who you are? I was one of the first ones to admit that I jumped to conclusions about your situation and I wanted you to be able to get SP advice despite any circumstances regarding how you came to be one.
I could see that you were a good mom and I thought you simply were someone who had made a poor decision but wanted to do better for yourself and your child.
That being said, you went ahead and proved not only that you were a huge AW but also insensitive and unwilling to look at your own flaws based on your last post about CS before you GBCB.
If you truly wanted to come back on here and simply get advice/support then why are you constantly outing yourself and drawing attention to who you WERE every chance you get?
Re: ::Twinkie::
Well, I changed my screen name because I did need to step back for awhile and thought when I did come back it would be good to not have a name/pictures, etc. associated with my real life too much. I also did not "out" myself for a very long time. I actually posted quite a few things on my BMB as well as on other SP posts here offering advice and support to some of the newbies - I did want to do that without the immediate LJF LJF LJF radar that seems to go off across the whole bump at every post.
I "outed" myself when Lurky asked, because honestly you can say a lot of things about me, but I don't hide who I am, good or bad. I don't want my personal information on the web, but I'm not going to fake being a whole other persona. The only other time I "drew attention" to who I was was when I posted my "where is everyone?" post because I did find that issue valid the last time I was here and actually created a new SN to respond to some of those posts. R9 called me out in my last post, which had nothing to do with me as a person, but a SP issue I was seeking advice on. Which is when I replied to her, just as I am to you, that I don't hide who I am.
That being said, this time around I'm sticking to being supportive to the newbies and asking relevant questions on how to be a good parent, in general and as an SP, not debating the other issues around how I got here or how I've handled it up until this point. Hope that helps to answer your questions.
Thanks for the clarification, and I will give you that, you never have hid out, although I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I think what irks me the most about you is that I can practically feel the defensiveness in all of your responses. As if you are not deserving of the way people view you/treat you. You appear to have an incredibly inflated sense of self and come off almost "holier than thou" when it would likely benefit you much, much more to take a step back, think about all of the reasons why people come off to you the way they do, and work on being just a teensy bit more humble.
I stuck my neck out for you on several occasions and really thought people needed to let go of your past and get off your back because a mistake is a mistake is a mistake and you needed to be able to move forward. And because of that I ended up looking like a fool.
I think that there is a lot going on with you that leads me to believe that you haven't learned much of anything from what you went through and I wouldn't be surprised at all if you were to get into a similar predicament again.
The fact that you created a new SN and then told people exactly who you really are, really just adds fuel to the fire that you're a big AW.
Priss28King is wise.--"Lurky, you are so mean... but always so on point!"
I don't think I'm defensive in all things; I do take the knocks I deserve. But there are many that I don't, especially my fitness as a parent. I take excellent care of my child, put his needs first, and do actually respect and appreciate the helpful suggestions that this board sometimes offers.
If I irk you, you are at liberty to completely ignore me. There are plenty of things that irk be about various posters, but unless they come at me I see no reason to attack them personally.
Secretly (or not so secretly, as some posts have stated) people here like the drama my posts cause. Love to hate me, so to say.
So like me, hate me, ignore me, or offer me advice on SPing.
Lurky, you are the biggest AW in the history of The Bump. You make comments, posts, and in general draw attention to yourself in every single way possible and get people all up in arms. You hide who you are as well, trying to create some kind of mystery around yourself, too.
So shut your fat trap, you hypocrite.
And maybe take Little Lurky to a grocery store like a normal kid before she grows up to be even more "entitled" than I am.
I'm a definite AW. I own it. That's the difference between you and me my dear.
I'm would rather my daughter grow up to be entitled than a homewrecking whore. Just saying.
Priss28King is wise.--"Lurky, you are so mean... but always so on point!"
You own being an AW and I don't.
I own who I am and you don't.
Guess it's just tomato/tomahto for us. Que sera sera.
