In summary....
I just got back on the internet because, as you may imagine, it's been an exhausting weekend. Here's what I have to say:
1. I DD'd my post because it got 2500 views. Yes, I know that if I "put it out there" my IRL friends may read it, but having 2500 views increases the likelihood-basic statistics.
2. Echo, KPerk, Gumiberg, Sarcole, and others who said their piece and stood up for me-I respect you and appreciate it more than you know
3. The only defense snarkers had is to say I've said "horrible things" about people. This is simply wrong. I said something about AHartzle which I apologized for and retracted, and I've said things to Jen&Carl because she stalks my post and puts hurtful things in there. And if your excuse for mocking me and bashing my posts is that I say horrible things WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU ALL? POT-MEET KETTLE(S).
4. As for me being arrogant-call it what you will. I respect a ton of women on here-Mav, Echo, KPerk, Gumiberg, Chyrsallys, and too many others to name. Those of you who say awful things to people about their husband's alcoholism, their marital issues, etc....I don't think very much of you. I don't think you have class, intelligence, or basic social graces because of the things you say.
In summary, I may put it all out there, I may be mocked and I may be snarked, but I'm not a mean or spiteful person. I'd suggest many of you ask yourselves the question of "What purpose does this serve in my life?" when you choose to attack and belittle others. It really doesn't speak well of you, and regardless of my marital issues I am MUCH prouder to be myself, flaws and all, than a person who gets pleasure out of the ridicule of others. NFT.

Re: In summary....
I don't know anything about your OP, but I just wanted to say that there are tons of snarky people on here, and I've kind of grown to expect it whenever I post anything. Even when I post an innocent question that I don't think anyone will have a problem with, I sometimes get snarky responses. I guess it's just something that happens on an online board. It's easy for people "hide behind the internet," so to speak and say things they wouldn't ever say in person.
As hard as it is, sometimes you just have to ignore them and pay attention to the people who give you a real answer to your question.
I agree with you. Congrats on your pregnancy BTW!! I haven't seen you around here since your BFP-how exciting!
Good luck with everything. I know how it is to stay in a relationship that you should get out of for way too long, and it's easier said than done. When you have a child it makes things that much harder.
Yes, you put yourself out there, but it would be nice if we as mother's could support someone going through a hard time rather than criticize them. Or if you have nothing positive to add, just don't comment.
Unfortunately you have a lot of people on here who don't seem to care for you, but you seem to let it roll off of your back which is think is great considering this is just the internet, nothing to take too seriously.
Good luck to you - seriously.
I don't even know what to say...I think it's best that I say nothing.
Good luck. Do what's best for your LO.
Ding ding ding. Exactly. No one is saying you deserved this. No one deserves marital problems like that. BUT you can't expect every one to be apologetic when you constantly post this BS and then DD and post like nothing happened. Doing that on top of always bragging about your money, looks, etc it just gets really annoying. Its really hard to know whats true and what isn't. So no one is mocking the situation. They are mocking your behavior that is very well known on the boards.
I can't afford her shoes.
I couldn't have said it better, buboo. I don't usually say much of anything, but I think people need to just let it die. Sometimes, because of one reason or another, these boards could be the only place people can say what they really want or need to say.
I missed your OP but, I think you have bigger things to worry about than posting on here to justify why you DD'd your post. Things like what's best for your LO not, what is going to happen to all your money and your house. Do yourself a favor and take a break and deal with your marital problems away from the Bump - if you're really having them.

Keep proving my point for me Kit.
Or what they feel the need to make up in order to get attention. Last I checked the bump isn't group therapy. If she ever made herself a useful member of this community I think the reaction would be different.
riiiiiiiight
Well I can and obviously some people don't get the point:)
Erino has obviously made herself a useful member of this community by providing hours of talk and entertainment./ point void
Yes I am the one missing the point. Okay.
Erino - pm.
Dead.
Dead.
Katiekate, everyday I love you a little more

Toche. I do agree with you but some posters can be pretty mean to her. Maybe she deserves it but maybe she deserves some credit too.
I so wish there could be no DD-ing. The OP about this had some serious lol's in it.
