Great video to help put some of life's little inconveniences into perspective!

Haha I saw that the other day. I love how annoyed the woman saying "I hate it when my neighbors block their WiFi" looked.

Life is good, y'all!

You know what, dude? I work with refugees who have lived through torture and the severely mentally ill who have experienced trauma that you could never even possibly imagine. These people have experienced the worst that life has to offer, and I hear their stories and testimonies every day. But I'm not a fucking asshole, so I don't feel the need to idiotically declare someone else's feelings/reactions FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. I don;t need to point out the fact that there isn't a comparison between gender disappointment and forced genital mutilation, because I can still recognize that an individual's disappointment is a valid feeling they experience in their personal life. So really, get the fuck out with your sanctimony.

Edited to add: Oh, this is a response to the OP's reaction in the gender disappointment thread and her other numerous and horrifying contributions to this board. I'm not just being a b randomly, in summation.

Oh my. I must be missing something

ETA: I just saw the above post's qualifier. Shwew. I was confused.

Dammit I was hoping this would be a FWP bitchfest. Where can I go to complain that my makeup artist canceled my appointment and now I have to find a sub-par replacement at the last second? That is an actual FWP. Whereas, say, experiencing severe depression and a disconnect from your LO during pregnancy is a real problem.

I was going to add to the conversation, but I'm pretty sure Empire and ykristos summed it up beautifully.

I know! I was all prepared with my whole sob story about how I ate the entire package of Oreos and now I have no more cookies.

I was at Walmart on Tuesday and they didn't have the Christmas fudge covered ones. I guess those are only a Target thing. I was SO. SAD.

Christinaruth74 · December 2013

ughhhhhhhhhhh. and yet this video still doesn't make your "first world problems" reference in a previous post any more relevant.
i.cant.even.

yvanehtnioj · December 2013

@kitchencolors yeah. Heaven is real. And you have a choice of white fudge or milk chocolate fudge.

My actual FWP is when I'm using my iPhone's navigation app, it won't give me my voice commands through the bluetooth system unless I'm using the bluetooth music player. Soooooo what that means is I can't listen to NPR and get navigation at the same time. In my Prius.

OP - you suck. Those people in the video don't even know what real problems are!!!!!!!!!

This Burberry onesie I ordered for DD doesn't come with a matching hat!

Also, I have to get off The Bump to go to DH's corporate Christmas party at a fancy shmancy country club in a fancy shmancy dress and all I want to do is stay on the couch, snuggled with my dog and reading your [OP] really insightful posts.

THOSE are real FWPs.

@danabsd I'm so sorry - that's horrible. She does need those shoes because they're adorable.

A clue. Get one.

jjtyler · December 2013

I am not one of the "ten people that rule the board" as I am not here all the time...

but I saw the title of your post and immediately knew that this was a PASSSIVE AGRESSIVE and douchey thing to back up your post on the gender post from yesterday.

I don't normally condone ganging up on people, but you just come off as a holier than thou type that makes me hormonally angry at you.

Nope. At this point, we just think you're disgusting. Why do you keep coming back?!

I find you disgusting. Seriously. You didn't stand a chance with over half of us since the memorable UO post that you so eloquently escaped the flaming you deserved. No one will ever like you after that. GTFO

So, this is off topic, but I feel like you need a 'do' there. Like "as I do." It feels abruptly cut off to me as is.

More relevantly, and I'm trying not to be flippant, how do you decide what is a first world problem and what isn't? (You particularly or anyone at all.) Is it possible for me to have non FWP since I live in the US, in a nice enough home, and am married and employed? (and reasonably healthy, and well-fed, and insured, and literate, and effortlessly have access to loads of potable water, and other similarly awesome things?)

I can't remember everything a person posts, and I don't usually take the time to look at the thing on a person's profile to refresh my memory, but I do feel like you kind of lack empathy, or at least sympathy, for a lot of situations people have mentioned. Seeing things from another point of view looks like it could be a personal improvement goal for you. (If you feel like I'm being an asshole, I apologize. As one of my own goals I'm working on being less socially awkward, and it seems like I'm doing better, but it's kind of an ongoing thing.)

@danabsd https://www.6pm.com/livie-luca-dolly-infant-black a size 2 should be the 6-12 or 12-18 month I think. I feel like the 18-24 month is equivalent to a 4... Ugh i get so confused about their sizing. But yeh they owning come smaller than a 4 the you jump down into the baby sizes. We sell them at work.

Love 6pm. I just don't $31 love them in soft sole. I know it's a serious FWP. :P

Thank you though!

sthomas1222 · December 2013

Wow the typos in my response.. Omj... But yeh I have bought DD 2 pairs & only b/c of my discount at work & even then it still hurts! But the bluebell is calming to me! And the see Kai run ones I found looking for those!

danabsd · December 2013

If my work gave me a discount on L&L or SKR I don't think I would have anything left on my paycheck to bring home. SKRs are our everyday goto absolutely love them.

spacepotatoes · December 2013

@sisterjanet This is the delightful poster who said that CPS should be called on a woman who doesn't quit smoking the instant she finds out she's pregnant and that if that woman miscarries, then she probably brought it on herself because of that. In response to the woman who posted about extreme disappointment after finding out she was having a boy, this OP told her "1st world problems! Be thankful you can have a baby...not everyone is so lucky!" There have been a few other gems in between that I can't be bothered to look up because she's not worth the effort. But basically, you called it in your post with the complete lack of empathy.

@btcruiserlove - Are you on the fertility friend forums? I feel that I have encountered you before.

So now I need to know who these 10 girls are. OP are you going to do a call out?

Also, can I just type FFS? Thanks I feel better now.

Storrmys · December 2013

You just need to go ... I'm not one of the 10 as you call them but I agree completely. Your lack of tack and empathy towards others is astounding..
Just try to think about others instead of yourself... You are going to need that skill as a mother !!
Everyone is going through the same thing here but everyones experience is different...
I am the oldest woman on this board (pretty sure at least ) I have fully by myself raised one child to adulthood I was alone and scared then on public assistance and no support system.. way back then the internet and all the information it brings was years away...
You should be happy and feel lucky to have this type of outlet instead.of alienating most of the people here ...
So all I can really say in conclusion is if you can't play nice with others just go play by yourself ... Or with yourself at this point I really don't care either way !!
