Either I've grown or they've shrunk

Since I started working I've had little time or desire to visit the babycenter message boards I use to frequent. Something to pass the time when I needed that I suppose.

For shits and giggles I went and read some threads on various boards over there and seriousely, now I can see why I was such an angry person all the time! And I can see why "trolls" do what they do (hey, maybe someday when I get time I'll try it lmao). These women just apparently have nothing going on in their lives whatsoever that they must attack and pick apart EVERYTHING. OMG so and so put fake blood on her kid for Halloween. So and so returned to work FOUR weeks postpartum instead of 6. The horror!

Are they for real? Do these women (presumably with children at home, given the venue) really have nothing better to do than try to make themselves appear to be better parents by joining the herd and ganging up on moms who actually have their own brains and think for themselves and *gasp* decide what's right for THEIR family instead of what strangers in the computer think?

It's amusing and sad to me. Get a life people.

I've thought that ALOT when I used to read those boards. I gave up too. Seriously who has the time?

These types of moms are why I cannot even stand to attend playgroups anymore. Everyone is so critical of everyone else and everyone is the best parent ever. Get a grip, people. I am sure I could never take mommy boards seriously, so I do not even go there. Probably pretty funny, though!!! Some of these moms would probably be scandalized to know that Peanut sometimes watches TV and plays outside in the rain...

I've seen all sorts of weird stuff going on the LF board and tend to ignore. You can certainly tell who's real and not on there now! lol
