She is stirring up a lot of shit.

jpoindahouse · February 2014

I honestly don't get people who go out of their way to post controversial shit and snark on the internet. I don't agree with her, but even if I did I wouldn't post that mess. Im smart enough to know that it will just rile people up and busy enough to not want to invite the ensuing drama into my life.

1. What was the point of that post.
2. MUD

That pisses me off. I plan to go back to work after six weeks, because truthfully, I like knowing if anything ever happened to my SO or he lost his job, that I would be able to take care of my own without depending on anyone.

Lets be realistic. The cost of living is so high, sometimes it isn't doable for the momma to be a SAHM. I respect stay at home mothers, but I also respect women who have jobs and work for a living.

I will be going back to check on this tomorrow when I'm bored. (too much to do today)

I can't believe there is someone out there with enough time on her hands to stir up shit like this. Each family has to make choices that work for them.

I had an unplanned pregnancy, and will be staying at home with baby for about a year. Yet in the back of my mind, I keep thinking about going back to work. I'm confused, will this make me a horrible mom, or is it now ok, because the pregnancy was unplanned?

At least MUD provides entertainment for when there's nothing on tv.

She also posted on a couple threads on the "natural birth" board, it was too early in the morning for me to respond and all of a sudden her posts are gone so who knows, but what she posted was also rude and snarky on those boards too. MUD

I'm also going with MUD. Working mom, SAHM mom... either way- we all deserve medals. There is no "easy" path.

PS, I find it really hard to click "love it" on any of your posts b/c your siggy skeers the bejesus out of me ;-)

I agree 100000000000000000000000%

MamaAllison · February 2014

That was MUD and stupid at that. I respect people who are at least creative with the made up drama. WM vs SAHM? Can you say tired subject?

RondackHiker · February 2014

That bullshit isn't worth my time.

haha. yea.. it was. i changed it.
i can't post the announcement of my baby with that thing on my siggy. haha.

sprashley · February 2014

Gotta be a troll. Seriously not worth me wasting my time on someone like that... although we haven't had any drama here lately, so it's good to catch some of it elsewhere.

ziggy903 · February 2014

Oh good, something to read while pumping!

cksmith29 · February 2014

Seriously one of the most ridiculous posts I have ever seen. It's either complete MUD or a person really on a high horse.

Even if they poster is serious, she's too dumb to be worth it.

mythaldo · February 2014

Totally just MUD, but throwing in my two cents that any working moms listening to that twat should take solace in the fact that they're modeling for their children the fact that hard work and sacrifices are made in any family, and that providing for the family outside the home is just as admirable as providing for the family at home. Slitting time between work and home is obviously doable and often ideal for most families.

Having other caregivers and children involved in a child's life at an early age is also great for social development. It's hard for any mom to leave their baby for any stretch of time with someone else, but the expression "it takes a village to raise a child" is there for a reason.

oscarkat · February 2014

Thank you! I needed a little drama today

I enjoy these posts from the other side too. I stay home with our kids because it's what I wanted to do and we can manage. However, I'm a private school educated girl and literally all but one of my former classmates look at me like I have a third head because I choose to stay home. Why can't people just do what makes them happy, work or not, whatever.

I think you're right. High horse issue

Cestreets · February 2014

What is MUD? I feel like I am the only person who is not formilar to this acronym?

micaelasmakeup · February 2014

Although I think this is MUD and that the OP is a little twat, some of the responses about her, and that it must be nice to have a husband that will take care of her spoiled ass and take care of her and let her stay at home, piss me off just as much.
I realize people are just being rude to her bc she's acting like a snot, but I hate when people think bc I "get" to be a SAHM I'm spoiled, or we are rich, or my husband takes care of me.
It was a hard decision to make and I'm blessed to get to do it, but trust me spoiled is not the word I would use to describe myself or ANY of my SAHM friends.

Aww. Darn. It looks like it was deleted. I missed the whole thing.
