S/O - UO gold over on GBCB

[Deleted]

A BMB's UO is already 17 pages long. I haven't gotten past page 1 yet, but, just a few gems:

• "I don't understand all the hoopla over the Confederate flag," and "Racism didn't exist until that Trayvon Martin 'thing.'" (I'm paraphrasing)
• Marriage vows that say a woman should submit to and obey her husband are true.
• Being OAD (by choice) makes you selfish.

Oh, and the link! goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/46557/uo-thursday

Um, I can't get past the very first post. That was actually kind of painful to read.

And we were worked up about Hav?

[abs]

Nope. People make me sad.

One of them said that Lincoln was trying to drum up interest in the war and started flaming the fire by freeing the slaves.

EDIT - We're talking about it over at CE&P too.  GBCB posts get around.  LOL

I almost threw my laptop out the window at page 2. How do so many fucking stupid people end up as parents? Shit like that makes me think homeschoolers might be on to something.... (although I have neither the skill nor patience to homeschool, so PS it is for DS!)

And that was one of the 'tamer' posts.

They probably ARE homeschoolers.

I wondered what the fuck would motivate my lazy ads to go over there.

Found it:

Omg it was so bad

I must know what this was. It's not showing anything. Is that the point? Does it mean there's nothing that would motivate you? How existential! Or is just a board issue? it got rid of what you posted? Or is it a prank on me? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. 

It took 22 pages for parenting and ML to call us crazy.

At least we're just a bunch of nut balls who judge toddlers in flip flops and rotisserie chicken and pouches.

I think at least one of the posters would be all over those for their toddler...

Is this a new call out? What did I miss?

FWIW, they actually called us "whackjobs."

Wait what?? Regarding? On this crazy thread I refuse to read or on their own boards?

[rosesandpetals]

I can't stand the bitchy comments about being oad by choice. And it is 100% one sided because the people making the comments almost always have more kids than they can afford or give attention to. But you can't tell them that.

They're also the ones who say things like, "it must be nice to have a dh who can afford Disney every year". You make choices, take some fucking responsibility. If you'd rather have 5 kids than go on vacation, more power to you, but don't whine about it.

[andrewsgal]

I still can't wrap my mind around anyone having an opinion on how many kids others have. If you feed, love and keep them safe go for it.

I am not defending her. 

I think it was much more of a need for her to communicate her disappointment in her childhood, than an actual judgement. From her continued comments, it's pretty clear she has some issues with her childhood. 

I hated being an only child, and I hate it even more now that I'm an adult, but I'm know plenty of people who love(d) being one, so there very clearly is no right or wrong answer. It's the same thing as judging someone who has 8 children. Vive la choice.

it isn't okay to be judgemental about oadbc because she hated being an only child.

I absolutely agree. i was armchair psychologizing and saying I think the judging wasn't really what she wanted to do, but the poor avenue she chose to discuss her issues with her childhood.

32 pages...and bad. So so bad.

Even though they called us whack jobs, parenting FTW. Wow.

Like how the hell did we get drug into that? They are so fucking ridiculous. There is not a person on this board that would agree with the racists on that one.

[rosesandpetals]

Well... Maybe not now, but there were. Remember when the TM/Zimmerman case happened? We've had some racism, it just wasn't given a high 5 like a15.

Yes but we tore those posters apart.

See I think this gets missed. Our vigilante justice always gets ignored. Hmph.

And after the Michael Brown shooting, there was one (somewhat) reg who was all, "I'm so tired of hearing about this... wahhh!" but she got her head bitten off and spit back at her, I believe.

Kind of how we mass exodus'ed over bans and fights resulting from Pouchgate, and everyone told us we were nuts, but then followed suite just a few months later? It's sad they can only ever remember the pouches. ::sigh::

about the abortion post? I stopped reading after that. I'm glad parenting has the energy to deal with them.

Oh I have a huge amount of satisfaction over that. They believed that it was all us being horrible people and MM was telling the truth. Then the bump came for them and they act surprised? Then you must not be very bright because it happened to SAHM first.

[auroraloo]

They always remember the dandelions too. Though that was a lot more split.
