What have you been flamed for?

sweetie0228 · February 2011

I've been flamed for:

not fostering a belief in Santa Claus (toothfairy and easter bunny) with my children...apparently I took the magic out of being a child.

suze423 · February 2011

Calling SS's mother BSC. Even though she is...

hterry85 · February 2011

Not wanting to tell BM about getting SS baptized

FutureMrsDrew73110 · February 2011

for thinking about telling BM that if she wants me(DH would be OOT all week for work) to watch the kids while she goes on her honeymoon that she'd have to pay me. I didn't though...

What does BSC mean?

karatechrissy · February 2011

yelling at a man in a movie parking lot bc he was driving w his what looked to be 2 year old in the front seat. No booster or anything. did have a seatbelt but it still pissed me off enough to yell at him in public.

Bat sh!t crazy.

emma7875 · February 2011

Believing BM for too long when it came to SS's saftey in her house. I still feel aweful for not doing something sooner, but all is well now

Wasn't really a major flame more like a why haven't you called CPS yet?

McNursey · February 2011

Minor flame for venting about BMs attitude and things she was posting when she went out on a patrol. In the end it was more my fault for the way I worded it.

jpowell3 · February 2011

On the Tri boards. I advised a newbie not to use the word prego (as I have seen other newbies get flamed for it) and everyone jumped down my throat for not letting her enjoy sharing her pregnancy news.

J&A2008 · February 2011

Oh man, that's a long list. Here's what I remember:

Letting SSs call me "Mom"

Emailing BM about healthy eating habits in her home

Sticking up for the SM in a situation where the BM ranted about the SM "overstepping" by signing the kids up for library cards.

Saying SMs should be involved in decisions involving SKs

Calling CPS on BM for allowing SSs to wander her neighborhood at ages 3 & 5 unsupervised

Saying SKs' bedrooms shouldn't be put in the basement when SMs start birthing biokids

Saying SMs should make their SK's sporting events, music events, dance, etc. a priority over "me" time

J&A2008 · February 2011

Ha! I wasn't even thinking about posts beyond our board.

There's an even longer list for the tri-boards but the two biggest I remember are asking about anal and saying I didn't want DH in the delivery room.

CurlyQ284 · February 2011

I vented about DH not helping around the house and got flamed for staying with him. Update: I found out that to do lists work for DH, and I have to ask him to do stuff because he doesn't notice but if I ask him, he never says no. Yayyyy!

I did that Surprise But I own it, and we made nice. Kumbaya.

For not wanting BM to change our Xmas schedule last year, because it put a major cramp in my time, and actually gave us less time with SS, and made everything uber rushed, unlike when we did things the was we normally had done them. That was I believe a three pager.

Lots of other things in between, but only one or two were a direct result of a post I authored, and I don't even remember what they were for.

sweetface83 · February 2011

Under my old sn(which I had to change bc of psycho-ex stalking me all over the interwebz), I got flamed for....

1. Getting married too soon

2. Marrying someone in the military

3. Posting too much about my angel baby

4. Posting too much about the fallout with family members and DH when I lost the baby.

fauxshelley · February 2011

I have been flamed on the tri boards for talking bad about a dog that caused about 3 thousand of dollars worth of damage to my house.

knmommy · February 2011

I was flamed once for calling spermdonor a spermdonor.

I was also told that I wanted to kill a room full of kindergartners because I support stem cell research. (not on this board)

EvergreenKali · February 2011

For buying used clothing for SK and DH and I.

For taking a honeymoon that was gifted to us, whilst buying used clothing.

For even suggesting it might be okay for SK to call me what they are comfortable with (even it it's "Mom")

Ilumine · February 2011

I only have my iPad, so this post would be to hard to read, given I cannot mae paragraphs or list. But here are the general ones. I have been flamed for believing that SMs have a right to equal say in what happens in the house, to include enforcing the house rules on their own, since they are legally responsible for anything that happens to/by the SKs.....for my firm belief that Mom and Dad are reserved for BioParents as long as they are active in their kids lives, especially given there are thousands of terms of endearments out there to use...to my, what I think, normal expectations of my SS behavior and actions... Of course I am also flamed for staying with my DH when he doesn't deal with SS's explosions properly...so color me confused that I am NOT allowed to expect reasonable behavior, but must leave DH for NOT enforcing said behaviors....

MrsBPO · February 2011

I'm lovable.

JThomas221 · February 2011

MrsBPO:

...and I was just thinking that I must not post enough around here! Wink I personally haven't been flamed but I've agreed with opinions of posters who were being flamed.

that makes you twice as bad then!!! off with your head!! ;-)

LorelaiOctoberBride · February 2011

Not really flamed... just think gals here thought it odd I would question wearing a bikini around the skids.

Otherwise, I don't post too much.

hopanka · February 2011

ooooh, some of these replies honestly give me the tingling to start flaming again :-)

Anyway, I was flamed a looong time ago on another website and it was at least a 4 pager. My first mistake was that I was a new poster and unaware of a "clique" that was there for ages. It was a "mom of onlies" board (which I was at the time), but apparently for very different reasons than everyone else. As I realized during my flaming session, those women were bitter that they had onlies because they either couldn't have more kids for biological or financial reasons. I was a mom of an only for a reason that I CHOSE. I said something about how great it was to be an only and bla bla bla....and I got killed there! Only one poster took my side later on, basically pointing out that the board rules never specified that you have to HATE being a parent of an only. I defended myself for a bit...but ultimately I never posted there again, it was exhausting to be called so many bad names.

mrstarawalsh · February 2011

Putting my dirty diapers in a milk crate outside of the DS's window so he wouldn't break into the trash.

Saying that it's more important for my husband to be at the birth of his youngest daughter than to be at SD's college graduation.

Corbin30 · February 2011

Not on here, but I got big-time flamed for being deployed to Iraq when DD was 8 months old. Not that I could get out of it.

I was scared to even admit that after I found out I was expecting this one I was notified that I will be deployed to Afghanistan when this baby is 6 months old. This is not how I want to do things, but with 5 more years until my enlistment is up (5 years till retierment) there is not much I can do. If I try to get out of the deployment I am a terrible soldier, and showing my children that breaking a promise is ok as long as it benefits you (yes, I have been told that is what it would be) but if I go I am a selfish glory-wh#re who doesn't love her kids. (and I have been told that too)

Banana44 · February 2011

I don't know if it was full out flaming - but I posted how BM started calling every night when she started dating her new Boyfriend and it was becoming invasive to DH parenting time. Many people said that there is no issue with nightly calling. Which, I actually saw things from a different point of view at that point.

Didn't matter - guy left her after a year and the nightly phone calls stopped.

FloF9 · February 2011

Uh yes let's see - mostly on the BF board early on. More for the way I worded things. However here are some of the bigger ones.

Flamed for the following:

1. Getting married but not having SS there - it was in the fall and he was living with his mother at the time and it was during the school schedule.

2. Complaining about SS issues - when in actuality it was a DH issue. These lovely ladies here showed me the error of my ways!

3. Coming to the rescue of another bumpie who was being insulted by a troll.

4. Not "loving on" SS immediately when I first met him.

5. Limiting SS's visitation with BSC Grandmother (mom's mom) due to her enabling and both their crazy/needy behavior.

Phantomgirl · February 2011

I was flamed to high hell for building a house when apparently I should have not built so I could contribute my portion of the mortgage to CS.

I was called a retard on the relationship board for asking one of the Caribbean nesties is she lived in the Caribbean lol.

I was called a psycho for complaining that BM wanted my then SO to constantly fix things around her house.

I've been flamed loads but I can't remember - water off a ducks back lol.
