I think 85% of the reason people think I should "name names" is because they are nosy. nosey? How do you spell that?
Then i am the 15% who thinks "Oh shit, did I say something that hurt someone's feelings? Is she talking about me?" I'm always afraid I will unintentionally hurt someone's feelings because I've said something stupid or joked about something that someone is sensitive about. Foot-in-mouth disease.
If we are being totally honest, I'm getting tired of hearing about Butter's swear words every time I'm trying to brag about Henry's use of Fucking O. My kid swears the best, okay?!
**totally kidding Dorothy Zbornak I've never actually heard the original Butter's mutter fudder story
Sometimes in real life (Ok, a lot of the time) I feel like I am a know it all. And I try to catch myself, but I let it slip. Mainly toward my mom and DH. Sometimes to my family friend with the new twins (She asks for my opinion and I give her my FULL opinion... so it is her fault). But I am a total know it all. I am one of those people that annoy me. They annoy me because they are me.
It's like I'm looking in a mirror. ... and it's even my height! Lol. This is so me. I try to catch myself from correcting people over stupid things all of the time.
FFTC....I am a relater and want to be liked. I connect with shared experiences, too. When I see that or learn that someone else has twins, I want to be their friend because we share an experience.
And I get nervous around other twin moms because I'm very self conscious of my boys' behavior, their size, the comparing that is out of control around here, and their speech delay.

I understand that more feelings were hurt, but if you were doing something that truly bothered people, wouldn't you want to know? Instead of them just getting pissed off every time you posted?
I just think that it's sad that in the process of expressing the hurt feelings, more feelings were hurt. Kind of defeats the purpose of being more conscious with words.
Feelings shouldn't be hurt though? No one is saying these people do it on purpose. Why can't it be taken as "oh shit, I do that? I'm sorry. I'll try not to do that anymore." rather than "How could you say that about me??"
If someone is concerned about their kid's xyz don't pipe in and basically say, "my kid is a genius and is doing multiplication". I mean come on. That's just common sense sensitivity.
I think many are reading into it a little too much.
I'm usually staring at the wall when this movie plays. Forgive me man!
hahahaha, H asks me "is the the show where . . . happens" sometimes with the kids. DUDE I've perfected the ability to tune it all out, I have no fucking clue!
I do that too @therealmc I talk it out. I talk it out till I am blue in the face. It drives Shaun nuts. I need resolve instantly. If you hurt my feelings on here, or if I get flamed (which has happened more than once) I will talk it out till I cannot talk it out anymore!!!!

I agree. I was trying to clear up that this wasn't what I considered relating. This is the opposite.
