Geeeeeeeeeeze, people are losing their minds and all control of their good senses. Trip report, fiction, perfect ....whatever! Why are we talking about the OP and not about the trip report? That fact, I think, is the "mean" or better stated,
rude part.
CampbellScott, Miss Cammie, whatever you feel comfortable calling her most likely has feelings! Why are people disregarding them?
And those of us who have been enjoying her trip report are probably feeling a little uncomfortable and defensive about the fact that it has turned into something else. Something I personally did not tune in for. But, now, I am sure that I am just adding fuel to the flame.
Now let's all concede that her "trip report" is also a bit of a "family lifestyle report" or something -anyone notice the title of the thread?! Did someone just now read the title? "And here I was thinking this was a dang theme park review...I wasted all this time and she just won't stop talking about those dang kids. More Dumbo...less lovin'." Seriously, people, we are on page 100+something, and now people are up in arms about her step-parenting and the nerve of being loved by people she doesn't even know.
If people want to love her, let them love her. If people do not want to love her then they should not be around her - (umm, that means here) "If you can't say something nice..."
Furthermore, I personally do not recall saying anything about
loving her, (but if people have said that, shouldn't that be their business? - BTW, I do love the tv show LOST, is that unhealthy, since I do not know it or any of its characters, personally? I think I may actually be IN LOVE with Jack. Oh man, I am soooo unhealthy.)
Anyway, as a mother, I have mentioned being able to appreciate someone (a stepmother) who would so obviously and unconditionally love my child. That would be nice. How could you not think that would be nice? And how do you not see that pouring out from between the lines. Perfect or not, love is nice.
As for mentioning their mother and her frustrations with her from time to time that is called venting and that is what we use our friends for and that is what some people use boards for. I guess that is also suddenly not okay. (she vents, not bashes, vents)
Also, I am a mom, a single mom, not a perfect mom, but a loving mom. No I do not parent exactly the way CampbellScott does. I do not parent exactly the same way as anyone else does. That is what makes me special to my son. If I were Teddy and Sally's stepmom, I probably would do a few things differently (not better, differently). But I am not, CampbellScott is and so unless I want people criticizing my parenting, I won't criticize other peoples.
MissCammie or CampbellScot or can we just call you Fred since that is less likely to offend people, I am a sensitive person and would be very upset if people were griping at me like this, but chin up........some people are just like that....sorry to say.
I hope to hear more about Teddy and Sally. I do enjoy these stories, they seem to come from a loving heart.
How boring the world would be if everyone were exatly like me.
PATIENTLY
