yeah, we're behind. It was posted to my local board...last week? I think? I actually meant to post it over here and got too busy doing actual work.
Yeah but I mean even TODAY appears to be behind on this too! LOL! It must not have gotten much attention until the right person shared it.
Today is always behind though. Typically I see things here, we rip them apart, then the next week it hits my facebook and my local board, and then 3 days later it's on Today.

Heh. Well I admit it's been a really long time since I actually watched the show and not just a clip someone posted.
She supposedly came within arm's length of dying in childbirth and she discovered that what's most important in life is....a big house??
We didn't plan our lives as meticulously as she did, so we couldn't possibly understand her choices.
The whole paragraph in this article where she lists all the bad things that happens (which for some reason won't copy paste for me) reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter is trying to get elected for something and just screams "9/11!" and everyone cheers.
She is actually a "contributor" to Today's mommy page. By contributor I mean she has one short essay on how she loves her son and another single line of their summer survival guide. That's quite the resume!
Sadly I had to go to work and missed the segment. Did anyone else see it?
I know! I feel like I'm the odd one in these threads.
Although someone on MMM posted her blog which was pretty awful and made me a lot less sympathetic.
But Becky, she totally knows that the privileged bubble she grew up in was not the real thing!
She just seems like a very typical slightly annoying suburban mom who thinks too much about herself and decided to be "provocative" in an article to get clicks.
I do think the decision to really look at whether you want to adjust your lifestyle to afford a kid can be pretty heart wrenching, so I get that part of feeling sympathy for her. But just...ugh.

It wasn't long. It was basically "um, what? Her uterus literally aches? Cry me a (bleep!) river." Where savannah did say "bleep" instead of fucking
One of her recent blog posts says they have to move and she doesn't want to? I'm confused.
It was a new post but it was talking about a time a few years ago, I think. Not good writing.
I got the impression that she was talking about two job losses, one a few years ago and one very recently. Regardless, the writing is absolutely terrible.

Yeah, you're right that she's talking about 2 moves: 1 in which she was pregnant with their second, which eventually led to them building their "luxury dream home" (anyone else notice it's always the luxury, and not just a dream home?).
She's just so melodramatic and self-satisfied. In one article she talks about how responsible and self-sacrificing they were and they're such good planners to be able to afford this home, but in her blog post, the instant her husband loses his job they have to talk about selling the house?

Yeah, someone didn't plan as well as they say they did. They're house poor if all this is happening.
Because I'm nosy, I found a pic on her blog. The house:
This is not a dream house.
With all that empty yard they planted a tree right in the middle of the line of sight of their front door? There's another thing that's going to make her uterus hurt in a few years.

AndPlusAlso... can I be pissed that there are real people who are struggling and house/rent poor every month who raise beautiful, non-material, loving kids in their homes and they don't get paid for a stupid blog rant that they wrote as they sit at home and watch their kids from their Keurig-dispensed coffee haze over the granite counters?!
I can't understand why you would go to the expense and trouble of building a custom house and then make it look exactly like every other new house built from 2008-2015.
