Single Parents

Can I have a FFFC early..

Well I don't know that it is even a FFFC. Its more of a annoyance.

And really it's silly to even say it. But UGHHHHHH. When women come over here and vent and say they will be joining "us". Then you never see them again. Yes we all hate that. But what annoys me the flippin most is when you see that poster back on the month boards or whichever and saying awww my DH did this or awwww that. There is one poster that is annoying the flipping piss out of me right now. And its so childish. But she came here for a day, vented and say oh poor me and blah blah. Then goes back to posting over there like nothing happened.

I don't want familys to break up, but ughhhhhh. Please do not act like everything is great when you got to the point you posted on the SP board. Maybe it's just this one poster. And I just really dislike that we have fly bys that act like its nothing.

I know I know. We are here for support and all that. But come on.

  • Don't you know, just by venting over here and seeing how bad the other half really lives we can save their marriage. 

    Take heart dear Carrie, your "happily married poster" still has to live w/ her DB.  We were all smart enought to come in out of the rain.

  • So true sweetie.

    I think I need to stop hanging out on the month boards in general. The ladies over there are anything but helpful to ladies that are not "in the cool kids club". The rest b!tch about not being "in" while the other justify the need for the cool kids. And any posts over there if not by one or the other get ignored.

  • This is the post that is really annoying me right now.

     https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/41348876.aspx

     All the women jumping on the band wagon about how horrible this BM must be. Too bad there are always two sides to every story. And I do not believe this poster for a second since she bitched about how she was going to leave her husband because he had no job, now he has one and they all see puppies and rainbows. Ugh. And if this gets back to her clearly she is reading this board still.

    I hear ya. When I read the posts that start with "I MIGHT/MAY be joining you..." I will usually assume they are not ready to be single

    I think Caroline gets more adorable by the day! Logan loved those pacifiers but could never keep them in. We also have the same car seat/stroller I saw in your blog.

    I don't really have any insight on what the law is in those cases, but I can completely sympathize. DH got an angry call from BM yesterday about how she needs extra money to buy school clothes for SD. Mind you, she was with us the entire summer and her mother sent her with two outfits, no underwear, no socks, no pajamas, nothing. We bought her literally an entire wardrobe and sent her back with 2 suitcases full of new clothes, a bookbag for school, and all kinds of school supplies. BM says she needs the extra money for school clothes, and that it's not fair that her OTHER 2 kids are suffering because my DH doesn't give her enough money. He gives her exactly what is ordered and we buy tons of stuff for SD. But this lady thinks we're filthy rich because I have a decent job. Um, so how about you get a job yourself if you need extra money, BM? She seems to think it's our responsibility to pay her rent as well, and support her other random babies that she keeps popping out like it's her job. Ugh. Sorry this turned into my own vent, I've just had it bothering me since yesterday!!!!

    Yeah, I haven't been on other boards a whole lot lately.  They piss me off...either I'm bitter about the "my DH is so wonderful posts" or I get pissed off by the "you won't believe how mean my DH is" posts because they're about the pettiest stupidest crap!

  • Sweetie! I see it. And it's the part that annoys me the most. That she came over here saying she wanted to leave her DH because he did not have a job, yet she posts on the one I linked he does and she leaves it out on blended families. Interesting...

    I really could give two you know what's. I have enough of my own problems. Just irks me.

  • I don't think I ever said "I may join you".. My marriage is over=( I must say that I am actually embarrassed to change my picture or profile (with my husband). When I joined the Bump I really thought my life would be different and I hate to explain my life changing so drastically in a small amount of time..

    I don't know if embarrassed is the right word. As many of you may know, the pity showered on a pregnant woman with no man in her life is really really abundant.

    Thanks! I love your new siggy pic! I can't wait for her to smile big like that :) I have switched her to nuk pacifiers cause she couldn't keep the other ones in either.

    Thanks! Logan loves nuk and mams or whichever they are called. As long as they are clear not the yellow fake whatever. Ugh the thought of weaning from a pacifier scares me, but lately I have been thinking about it a lot.

  • my BIGGEST pet peeve is when (single people and/or NON parents) tell me "I know how hard it is to be a single parent"

    NO YOU DONT! You have NO IDEA what it's like wondering and making sure that we have food to eat or the bills are paid on time..

    Very well said! I agree completely. Big eye roll to anyone who feels that they are "like" a single parent because DH is away, or working or whatever. Sorry it's just not the same.

    This annoys me to no end as well.  I think we all agree that it is pretty much like nails to a chalkboard when a drive-by poster comes over and says how amazing we are and then compares it to their DH being gone for 24 hours or something dumb like that.

    IRL my pet peeve that is SP related is when people look at me, shake their heads and say "I just don't know HOW you do it".  Like I am some freak of nature because I became a SP while I was pregnant and have been on my own.  They seem like they are half in awe and half scared that they will end up like me.  I want to tell them not to get too close because they will catch the bug.  And the ones that really annoy me are the women who's husbands have been rumored to "get around" much like SD.  It's pretty ironic that they feel the need to act "holier than thou".

    When I had a new supervisor, it had been about two weeks since he had got there and I told him that it's hard for me to come in at the drop of a hat on my weekends because of my son. And he said "Yeah, I understand." and tried to act like it was the same with him. He's got a wife who is a stay at home mom. Ever since he tried to compare us like that it has really bugged me.
