I'm sorry

I have written this out and then deleted it about 10x. i know this will probably induce more eye rolling for some of you, but I need to get it out.
I am sorry for what happened the other day. I swear on everything I care about that I never wanted to annoy anyone, hurt any feelings or come of as a know it all in my posts. like it was just recently brought up, being a 2nd time mom comes with a way different perspective than a FTM and that is all that it is, just a "been there done that" attitude. I do not think that I am better than anyone on here and I certainly don't think I know it all.
It made me mad to read mean things about myself and other girls on this board on DWP. I know it's a free world and I am 35yrs old and shouldn't let it bother me, but it does. If "you" can read things like that about yourself and not care, than you are a stronger person than I am. I shouldn't have done the call out post to Liz, it was the wrong move for sure.
I have been a single parent for the past 5wk because MH is out of commission after having a spinal fusion at the end of June. He is home with us but can not pick up either kid, change any diapers, cook any meals or even shower on his own, so I have been taking care of three people on my own (and working PT at night) for a while now and it's taking it's toll on me emotionally. Also, last Friday I also found out that my father has taken a turn for the worse (he has ALS) and might be bed bound sooner than we thought. This has obviously put me in a not so great mood for the past week.
I'm sorry If made it seem like I don't care about this board, because I do. I know that over 300 women can't always get along and that not everyone can like everyone, but I still find the support and advice here invaluable and I plan on sticking around. so, if you still hate me, that's fine. there's a block feature on this board, feel free to use it. have a good weekend, everyone!

Re: I'm sorry
I do not hate you at all. Sometimes I think that you are a bit rude, quick to judgement, and quick to attack but sometimes I am like that too. Life is stressful and exhausting...I have been a lot more bitchier than usual lately. As for being hurt by words...it doesn't matter how old you are...it can hurt anyone at any age.
It sounds like you really have a lot going on and I am so sorry for that. I hope your husband heals quickly and can begin providing you more help soon. I feel horrible about your father too. ALS is a terrible disease and it just breaks my heart. I will be keeping you in my T&Ps and I wish you the very best. Hugs to you.
once again, sorry. I just said that because people say the dont' like certain posters but then they obviously don't block them. so who's fault is that you are continually annoyed by them?
there isn't much else i can do here, this is who i am. i speak my mind, i am pro CIO, pro BF and anti double standards. there was a "c'mon everyone, UO is so boring let's spice this up with Judgement Day" post and then when LisaJay complies and says something judgey, she gets crucified for it. this makes no sense to me! when i read her post it made me laugh, because it was that ridiculous. it would never make me mad or make me think she's a bad person. I have irrational judgey thoughts about others, we all do. so yeah....if you can't stand me either block me or stop complaining about me.
Christiney, I am very sorry that you are dealing with a lot in your personal life, I hope things get better for you soon.
For the record, I don't hate you (whether or not you cane, I'm not positive, but I thought I'd throw it out there). Just like in life, on here, people, even e-strangers, will say things that irritate you. You b!tch about it, and move on. Because we don't know you in real life and your not on enough that people know your posting tone, I think you need to be a little more conscious of the way that you phrase things. Things can and will be taken the wrong way, especially with sleep deprived mommies who are on edge, as I think you can attest to.
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, I am not holding a grudge about the other day, I hope you don't as well.

Christiney, I think it's really cool that you posted this. I'm sorry things are tough for you right now. I get irritated with people, just like we all do, but I would never go so far as to block. Blocking people eliminates the diversity of the board - which is what makes it so fun to be here. I certainly don't hate you.
Group hug!
I completely agree! I just kept reading comments about how i'd been irritating people for so long w/ my posts, so i figured I would bring up the block feature so those people would know they don't have to read what i have to say if they dont' want to. I certainly don't want anyone to block me, but i just don't want to be pissing people off either. I will definitely try harder to real in the b*tch factor
thank you so much for the good thoughts and well wishes for my dad and husband. MH is a tough guy and I know he'll bounce back but my dad is a different story. he is totally in denial about his condition. He just bought a SUV because it's easier for him to get into than a car but I kept trying to tell him he might not be driving for that long but he didn't want to hear it. it sucks, he was only diagnosed in January and he gets worse and worse every month.
I think a giant group hug is a great idea! Kumbaya, bishes!
No, I like taking one from the team!
Havent we already discussed this?
Sorry, I confused do with dvda... How could I make such a horrific mistake?
