Read a really funny book last night!

AliciaS1411 · August 2012

Last night I read "Ketchup is a Vegetable and Other Lies Parents Tell Themselves" and it was a really great read. The author is hilarious and her stories were great. Just thought I'd pass it along if any of you are looking for something to read.

OMG! Get over yourself already! This is starting to just make you look childish. I understand you all think she is the devil or something for withholding information from you about certain things but that doesn't mean you need to make comments such as these on her posts. Just because she protected a friend does not mean that you guys should belittle her. If you protected someone you knew from information getting out that shouldn't be gotten out especially online would you want everyone that found out to be rude and judgemental to you? Ok she knew about it when you all were helping out person but they needed help. With no one in the house working for 2-/+ months makes it hard I know from experience. He can't get a job no matter what level offender he is or if he's gone through rehabilitation( if it was needed since I don't know the whole story). So they did need the money.

I'm going to tell you what my mother would tell me growing up. "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say nothing at all." What you are doing is a form of bullying. I hope you don't teach your kid(s) it's alright to treat people this way.

From what I understand, the 'information' was that the husband was convicted multiple times for child pornography. I'd be super pissed and disgusted too if this information were withheld from me after I was asked to help. Also, they're adults, they knew about their job and financial situation before they decided to have kids. No sympathy here

Also, feel free to correct me on this since I'm not in the FB group, but I believe the collection was taken up to get a housekeeper while she was on bedrest since the husband sat around playing video games instead of helping out with chores around the house.

I appreciate you very much. Thank you.

Hopefully they'll move on with it eventually, some people just don't have anything better to do with their time. (which is amazing to me side we all have newborns! lol)

Alicia, together you and Allison contributed to a board atmosphere that was at times hostile and mean-spirited to a number of posters. Despite this, people generously donated money to Allison under the impression that she was in genuine need of help. You organized this little fundraiser, despite having inside knowledge that, if others had known, might have given many of them pause in sending money in the first place. And now you've been called on your behavior, and seem to insinuate that that posters who are disgusted by you (and by Allison) are childish and petty. Well geez, this is like the pot calling the kettle black.

You violated a certain level of trust that others placed in you, and you have not taken responsibility for this, nor even apologized. And until you do so, I think you leave yourself open for a certain amount of ridicule, if not shaming. I think there are a fair number of us who roll our eyes every time we see you post something, as if nothing ever happened. Get over yourself.

I've never called anyone on here childish or petty. I, personally, am just aiming to move past the drama that shouldn't have been brought to TB in the first place.

Well, I did say you *INSINUATED* people were being childish and petty. FWIW, IMO, the only reason you think this is "drama" is because you're being called out for what you did and you don't like it and for whatever reason won't admit you were wrong. People who spent time on this board and on FB and who donated money to help Allison are not being dramatic - they are upset about how you actively concealed a material fact that, if they had known, would have compelled them NOT to send their money to you on Allison's behalf.

I'm glad it was brought to TB. Makes me never want to post a picture of my LO here. Judging from others who have edited their siggys to remove pics of their LOs, I'm sure others agree with me.

Why shouldn't it have gotten out? If I was friends with someone whose husband was a convicted sex offender, I would want to know. I wouldn't want this person to have access to pictures of my child.

Also maybe Alicia was "protecting a friend" but who was looking out for the June mom's children?

I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that you were kind of a B to people early on, then left to join FB and once they booted you, you're back posting and moderating like nothing ever happened. It's super lame.

Oh Pubes, don't you know that TB never forgets. I'd say it's time you move on. You are not respected or wanted here anymore. Buh Bye!
