so remember how we were all posting the annoying things people say. Well on my BMB someone just posted a post : anyone else feel like a single parent?
I totally felt my blood boil... um no, you don't what it's like to be single and pregnant until you are single and pregnant!!!

Re: I fell like a single parent post
I have to be honest. After looking at all her little doohickeys in her siggy I feel bad for her. A 10 month old at home, in 2nd tri, with a DH who is not around and probably expects Suzy Homemaker from his SAHW? Or she might be a little dramatic. You would know her better since that's your BMB.
I have to admit it is extremely freeing not to have to consider the needs of another adult human during my day to day life. I am trying to imagine what it would feel like (since I am essentially a SAHM for another 3 weeks) if right now I had a DH who didn't help with the kids but showed up at nights wanting dinner or expecting sex or a clean house or whatever. Yeah, I'd be b!tchy about it, too. Makes me feel good about my life actually.
Most people don't realize how good they've got it, though. I doubt her DH holds her chained to the house. She could probably still go get a haircut on the weekend which is my dream right now as it's been almost 6 months since I've had time and my hair is...there are no words.
So I will take your side...grrr whatever your screen name was!
I agree. you don't know what it's like until you go through it!!!! and i hate people that post stuff like "i'm going to be a single parent for three days" b/c their husbands go out of town for a weekend, sorry, that does NOT count
I'm the same way!! I'm in the Sept 2013 group and I see this every so often. And gosh forbid you say you're a single parent - all those women will make their snarky little comments about your life as if they know everything about it!!
I'm in September 2013 board as well, that's what I was refering to actually, a post in that board!
