I always feel like I have to have the last word. So it's hard to not do that (but that's my personality). I don't like it how People can't always read emotions. A lot of the time I say something with a positive tone, but typed out it's not. Or I say something just flat out, not really a care in the world about it, and it comes out like I have my panties in a bunch.

This and there have been times that I feel like people are overly PC just for the sake of calling someone out. I've said some stupid things but there have been times when stuff has gone overboard.

When people spend the whole farking day on here.

Also when people have to post and ask questions about their life ALL.THE.TIME.

Its ok and interesting to read sometimes, but asking stupid *** everyday is annoying.

Anyone - reg, newbie, troll, whatever - being intentionally cruel to another poster. I have seen some very hateful words thrown around these parts. I have been guilty of it myself with some new posters or trolls and it's my goal to stop that behavior completely.

Self righteousness. In any form or fashion.

Also, when people put 1ht at the bottom of a post. I mean, I'm all for proper grammar and spelling, but I don't need you to justify your occassional typo.

weelass24 · November 2011

Blatant over the top reactions just for the sake of being over the top.

I also think if you over react a lot and then ending up going back and apolgizing for it, you should think before you type. It lessens the value of your posts.

Blatant butt kissing. I don't see it much on this board but it's baaaaad on others.

I feel extremely guilty of this lol

It bothers me when people refuse to acknowledge that other opinions can be equally valid (when we are not talking about clear-cut issues like taking crack during pregnancy or why neon colors should never make a popular comebacks). It's something I have to work on, remembering that I am not always right or that there isn't a one-size answer, so I think I'm more aware of it and it irks me more because I try hard to be less judgmental nowadays.

Also, 'gender' instead of 'sex' is driving me batshitcrazy, because it's wrong.

Yes I've been trying to dial down my mean girl tendencies too.

This 100%.

I dislike when UO, FFFC, etc. turn into ass kissing threads. "You're so awesome." "No, you're so awesome." Vom. Gag me.

I hate when people ask for opinions on basic things or need help making simple decisions.

Liberals and their annoying political posts. My favorite from yesterday was "I don't understand how any woman can vote Republican."

Yes, because all women need to vote Democrat. WTF?

This is totally going to get me flames but..... I have been really getting annoyed lately by the posts by moms not being able to get a shower in or bring groceries in from the car or god forbid actually go to the grocery store when they are alone with dc. I understand during the first 1-2 months but really after that.... I don't know I guess I am heartless.

Emie28 · November 2011

Posters who use the reasoning that "it is only the internet" to justify being an asshoIe.

You could have just typed my SN instead of typing all that out.

You would think it would get easier but it doesn't. Then they become mobile... and louder. I have gone a day or so with out a shower. I've also driven my car around for an hour bc she hasn't slept and that was the only way. I've also gone through a drive thru and eaten in my car to keep her sleep.

crazynervous · November 2011

GH- that really sucks and I hope he starts sleeping soon.

I have a 3 year old and 5 yr old. I get having a crazy day or week but come on some people act completely helpless once they have kids.

I went from Sunday to Wednesday without a shower because DS wasn't sleeping and would just scream to the point where he'd start losing his voice and it would take at least 30 minutes for him to calm down enough to even breathe normal again. And the bathroom is right next to his room, so if I tried to take a shower, he would wake up.

I have so been there with M. I even tried showering with the door open so I could at least hear her and hurry up, but then the steam would set off the smoke alarm. Nap Fail.

Same with CB too. M tried to give up naps completely at 18-24 months but I still NEEDED her to nap, just for my mental health. I'd drive for two hours just for the quiet. (Of course, gas was $1.50 a gallon then.)

Newbies who think this place is for holding hands and farting rainbows. Not everyone is going to agree with you, put up or shut up.

It all depends on the circumstances involved in that particular mother's life. I am far from helpless seeing as how I manage to care for 7 horses and DS at the same time, but if skipping a shower or eating take out in the car means I get a little peace and quiet, I'm all for it.

On the original topic... it drives me crazy when I see women complaining that they were cheated out of their desired birth experience. I can understand being a little disapointed then getting over it, but really? I sometimes feel like posting a huge rant saying that their body did not "fail them", they were not "cheated out of" a whatever birth they thought they'd have, and STFU because you have a healthy, living baby when there are many other women on here who weren't so lucky. Sorry, but I find it really petty when people act like a c-section or being induced is the end of the world.
