Whenever people talk about the tone of the board changing in a way they don't like, I get paranoid that it's because I've been more active and they don't like me.

Because, you know, I'm all anyone ever thinks about. Ever. Memememememe!
Everyone loves you, Aggie. Everyone. Anyone who says otherwise should have their sanity questioned. 

Can I frame this and hang it up on my refrigerator?

samesies. The difference is I'm a b!tch sometimes, and you're not. Like ever.
Also, no one would invite me to their bumpie dinner party, so that was my first clue!
I wouldn't throw tacos at you, salty! You can come to my party, I just suck at remembering everyone's SN!
Didn't I invite you?!?! I thought I did!

I think you did! I remember thinking your list was almost the same as mine.

Salty, I certainly wasn't trying to call you out so I hope you didn't take it that way. But I did read the SAHM thread and was appalled at most of the answers. The majority replied that, no, they are not happy with the current set up and many said they do all of the childcare and all of the house work. A lot of the posters in there were the same ones who constantly express frustrations about their husbands, so to me, it seems like a lot more than just venting.

I definitely don't have the perfect marriage and there are absolutely times when I feel unappreciated by my husband. But, as you can probably imagine, I'm very vocal about those times and as a result, the behavior changes. If it didn't, I wouldn't be married.

That's all I was trying to say.

yay! I'd come to your party. And not just for the food ;] 

After that thread, I saw like 5,000,000 people I'd invite that hadn't happened to post that day.

But if it is more than venting, calling one a doormat [i don't remember who said that so if it isn't you don't think I'm quoting you specifically about that. Someone said it today] isn't useful in any way. Sure it's annoying seeing women being treated like crap by their men but relationships or marriages are so complicated. Being in the hell that is a rocky marriage is so awful, the last thing that someone needs is an eye roll. Venting about it here doesn't mean it's not being addressed there even when there isn't a solution. It just means it is a safe place to complain. That's why I came here to do it. I still don't know of H and I will be ok but I am still going to consider this a safe place to vent and ask for insight.

I said that I feel like people here have husbands who treat them like doormats. It was my opinion. No one else has to agree with it. And you don't have to tell me how complicated marriage can be. I know.

On the same token, you don't have to agree that I don't think it's useful to say so.

How am I picking a fight with you when I agree that we don't have to like each other's UOs? By nature, they are unlikable.

I sincerely hope other boards aren't lurking. It's a pretty tame UO for being seven pages. Shall we start going on about dandelions?

thepretzelchick · May 2013

MOTHER EFFING DANDELIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, FOOD POUCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And let's not forget: COLLEGE TUITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rp-chicago-mom · May 2013

What is it about the pouches?

thepretzelchick · May 2013

Some of the SAHMs think pouches are an abomination. Hell if I know why.

rp-chicago-mom · May 2013

That I knew. I just couldn't figure out why. Howell was at war with the puree so I never bought them. My nieces and nephews love the applesauce for older kids though.

I don't believe people who say they were taking their BCP correctly at the same time, every single day AND using condoms and still got KTFU.And I don't believe that girl over on J14 who got KU with twins with an IUD in and am surprised that more people didn't call MUD. nbsp;nbsp;
I don't believe that crap either. ::waiting for someone to chime in with oopsie BC story::

I'll chime in. Not me, but my mom. She got KU with my sister while on BCP. The same year, several other women in town that were using the same BCP also got KU (small town where everyone knew everyone). Must have been a bad batch of pills.

Of course, this was also back in the 70s, I'm sure both the pill and quality control are much much better now!

Something about being lazy and whatnot.

thepretzelchick · May 2013

I think it may be because they see it as lazy parenting. "Here, kid, just have a food pouch." Meh. Whatever floats your boat. I think they're awesome. I eat some of the applesauce ones myself.

I wonder if I could have fed purees from a pouch. His deal was he hates being fed.

Also, Pretzel, let's just be honest here.

I made you pregnant with my mind.

Because we're soul mates.

It's true. Poppy's mind sperm can penetrate BCP, condoms, and planned sexcapades. Poppy's mind sperm doesn't care if you don't want to get pregnant; you're gonna get pregnant, bishes.

You're the Harry to my Louis.

I just read that entire thread that I apparently missed out on a long time ago. nbsp;It made me sad.
Me too. I think that entire thread was uncalled for. Lisa has always been nothing but supportive to everyone on this board from day one. I have felt like the "tone" of the board has changed lately. It makes more sense to me as to why now.
I felt the "tone" change too.

Still wading through all these posts but I agree 100%.
