  I don't know why people would post about saying there situations are better then yours but I sometimes explain something about me to relate to the other persons situations. So I don't mean to come off rude I want to relate to someone's problem.

  If you're expecting everyone to pat you on the back and say things like "it's ok", "I know how you feel", "aw, i hope it works out" or "wow! That's awful!", then you might be disappointed.
  
  Not everyone is going to fart rainbows, throw rose petals at you and wish you luck.
  
  Here is the key to posting on a public forum. EXPECTATION MANAGEMENT. Are your feelings going to get hurt? Maybe. Is everyone going to agree with you? No. Are people going to say things you don't like? Yes. That's just a little something to keep in mind next time you post.

  I clicked to see what your other posts are about so I could understand what you mean but.. I really don't get what you mean I can't see what is so bad to make a post about it?

  I agree with this. There were a lot of people trying to relate to you, not going on their own rant. That is them offering understanding!! And I didn't see anyone with a reply indicating how wonderful their situation is versus yours.
  
  Here's the advice I would offer you completely as a ditto to PP (and what I offered in other posts of yours): you're overreacting and need to manage your expectations.

  I've only posted here a few times over the past 38 weeks, but each time, instead of others offering advice or understanding (some have, so I don't mean everyone) they either reply with their own rant or tell you how wonderful their situation....both just make the person feel worse! Why do some of you do that!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  Ditto PPs. This is a forum full of random people from all over and who don't know each other. The only way to relate to a lot of this stuff is through similar personal experience.
  
  You don't get to dictate what people post - even in a thread that you start.

  People probably try to give advice and relate to you! Everyone's super excited and emotions are high because we are all having/had babies and all have our own situations. I think people are just trying to help, there has been some unneeded comments on certain posts but hormones are everywhere lol it's to be expected. I'm sorry you feel this way :-(

  Other moms ask their own questions on threads that are similar to the situation they are in so they don't have to make a new thread on the same topic.
