...This is obviously a loaded question. If I answered you would respond back with "Not uh!" just like anyone would if they felt like they were backed into a corner. I am not going to kick you why you are down. sorry. I was simply stating what I have observed.
That being said. if you do have stuff to vent about, this board is here to support that. When that person commented nasty things about E, we all showed we cared. We have shown we ARE here to support you. You just have to be willing to lean on us for that support.
This is something I struggle with myself. I take a lot of my own issues and deal with them myself. (and eventually freak out because It's a lot to deal with) It's not healthy. I know this and it's a hard cycle to break from.

@kellenhi21 I agree!
I love Vegas, and football, and I complain about my H because complaining to my neighbors or toddler just isn't helpful. I don't have a perfect life, but I'm a fantastic mom. DS wakes up occasionally, and sometimes I give up trying to soothe and I feed him at 4 am! Shit happens, it's OK to be a bit vulnerable.
@nykkolaughs I think part of the issue is that sometimes you come across as thinking you're better than some of us. Is that the case? Who knows. You don't give much away, when a lot of us are showing our weaknesses and taking comfort in knowing there are more of us going through the same crap. Everyone has their things.
I complain abt my h and feel guilty about it all the dang time. In the beginning of our relationship I let a lot slide because of his heart condition. I dont know how many years I will have him around so I tried really hard not to keep grudges and just to love him and let things go. But things have built up and I feel like I can't keep excusing his behavior. especially with a baby now. Time to grow up. I would feel like crap if he talked about me like I talk about him too but I complain to his face too so it wouldn't be a secret if he did read my posts. Also, just for the record, this man is my WORLD. No matter how lazy and annoying he is... I love him like I've never loved anyone and he does the same for me. No doubt he is the right man for me- nobody is perfect!
:P

And yes, we all have seen your struggles here with that wacko AE and such, but again, those tend to reference times past (pre-E). It's possible to show a balance. And even if you'd rather not share negatives (like several of my fav bumpies on this board) you don't have to be negative about those that do. PPD can happen up to a year post-birth. And "every person you meet is fighting a harder battle".
Basically tl:dr - my point is if you don't like it, don't read it. Move on and let it go. Or post about it an UO and realize it's probably unpopular
<:-P

"Oh, spicy BM again? Mexican for lunch? Thanks bunches."
My other OU is that while I think some reasonable "my husband was a doofus this morning" venting is fine, I've noticed some people are married to assholes and they have bigger problems than just a guy being a jerk once in a while, but either they don't realize it or don't want to publicly admit it. I stop feeling sorry for those people at some point. What's worse are the women who seem to have perfectly nice husbands but they nag and peck and treat the guy like shit. I've seen that here too, although not very recently. So yeah, once in a while I do fall into that "I feel sorry for your husband" Bump joke, but have never posted it.
Happens in real life too. I have a school friend who treated her husband like absolute crap, and when he told her he wanted a divorce no one was surprised.
I love Vegas and plan on seeing
Britney while she is there.
I tend to only post positive, because when I open up I am flooded with support and it's overwhelming. TB really has some of the best women I have ever met (here and on Parenting)
Coffee is gross, so is tea...diet coke FTW
I could never do a home birth because there is no room in my house that I think is clean enough
My OU: I don't think our LOs are ready to sleep all the way through the night yet. I am happy to have at least 1 wake up until 9 months. I know it's more of a developmental think than an age thing, but that's my UO

The home birth statistics that you hear from home birth advocacy groups are totally off. They don't include the number of women who had to be rushed to the hospital where they ended up giving birth, and they often even exclude a large number who had postpartum complications. Many women don't realize that just because you're in a hospital doesn't mean you are automatically subjected to a million unnecessary interventions. I briefly had an IV port in my hand but hated it, so I made them remove it. It's not that complicated.
I gave birth with midwives in a hospital. It felt like the best of both worlds.
That being said, between the mess and all, it's not for me. Plus, it was comforting that a top level NICU was attached to our maternity ward when A needed extra care.
