Who finds Mothers' Day really annoying?

[becka]

Come on GG who do you think your kidding? You really want to pretend you don't know about "breeder" threads and you want us all to pretend that you have not professed your disdain for 99.99% of the people who have children? I guess those who are fairly new to the DIS will buy that story but I think there are enough of us around that know your history so it really makes no sense to pretend you don't know what we are talking about.

I don't really care why you want to be child-free, I don't want to psychoanalyze why you don't and I have told you before that I do respect your decision be to "cheerfully child-free". The problem I have with you is that you don't respect MY decision to have kids. Respect is a two way street and you have never seemed to understand that little fact.

It is amazing how the new search function allows people to play ignorant.

 

[JunieJay]

Not yet. But it's only a matter of time until the line is crossed...

And you know this how? Still kissing WM butt are you?

 

[goofygirl]

Just how many people do you think would forget everything you have posted in the past?

There's people who are remembering every single thing I post? Good grief, they need to get a life! I don't remember every single thing everybody here posts! I'm way to busy to do that!

Not every post, just the general themes

Ahh. So you are backpedaling by saying that you didn't mean all of that, it was exaggerated, and a joke.

Yep, when you fail to back up you claims with facts, resort to "joking." Good tactic!
Don't plan on joining a debate team anytime soon. (That's a joke! Yes, the childfree can joke!)

Not sure what you are getting at. Implying that I think everyone on the DIS knows you hate children? Yes, I did mean that. The method I used ("show of hands" was obviously intended to be humorous as I cannot see anyone waving their actual hands - although Bob did wave his virtual hand - hi Bob!)

Saying that you post on parenting threads - "every freaking one" was certainly hyperbole, but I absolutely meant that you go on parenting threads, which are clearly not relevant to you, and post hostile comments about children.

As poohandwendy pointed out, search sucks. It probably sucks on purpose for these very occasions. But the "fact" that so many different posters have come to the same conclusion (that you hate children, that you post on parenting threads with a hostile vibe) indicates to me that you have left the same impression with them that you have left with me.

Does this mean you have stopped denying things?

Take it any way you want, but your "breeder" comments are quite memorable.

I'm just going to stay quiet for awhile. I've got to go. I've got work to do.


I'll be DISing later. Have a good day!

How ironic that you are "taking your toys and going home," so to speak.

That's kinda ...ummm ... childish. lol

Well, I might as well post since GG wants a "show of hands". I am also a poster who remembers the themes of her posts in the past. Yep, they sure were all about hating kids and their parents. And of course there were the whining "everyone is discriminating against me because I am childfree" posts. And who could forget the one from a long time ago saying she was considering having kids and wanted to know if she was too old. She denies these posts exist, and many of them were lost during board changes. But many of us remember.

Oh, and to save you the time, GG, I'm sure you will comment on how we must not have lives because we remember your posts. But you have told me before that you remember me and my posts....you also seem to remember JunieJay and her history....so I guess you don't have a life either.

Sorry, GG...too many people remember you. You can't rewrite history, but you can certainly change the future. I was hoping the new religious GG would change her bitter outlook, but I guess that hasn't happened yet. And maybe it never will.

I don't really care why you want to be child-free, I don't want to psychoanalyze why you don't and I have told you before that I do respect your decision be to "cheerfully child-free". The problem I have with you is that you don't respect MY decision to have kids. Respect is a two way street and you have never seemed to understand that little fact.

Thats it in a nutshell.

Bringing a new life in the world should be the most personal, seriously thought out decision a person makes. For anyone to question a person's decision not to have children is asinine. I wish people would consider more carefully before taking that irrevocable step. I think most parents are in agreement with this, no?

Its the superiority complex that this poster is so well known for that rubs people the wrong way, and that inability as Becka said, to show that same respect for other people's choices. She hasn't touched on her true colors yet on this thread (with the exception of the blah blah blah remark), but give her time, she will. Its only a matter of time before we are discriminating against her because she decided she didn't want children. Its like a broken record that we are all too familiar with.

I love Mother's Day


I love my mother and I love being a mother. I find it to be a day of reflection. I do send my mom a card because she lives several hours away and I call her. I don't feel like I owe her a gift and I don't think she expects one.

As for my kids, I never ask for a gift. They are tweens and teens and I just appreciate going to church together and not having to make or clean up after dinner. They do it all at home. No going out. I also refuse to play referee on Mother's Day. They know not to fight or it will get ugly.

I'm the one that said she hates children - because she DOES! so Please don't say you don't now. Have some balls and admit it! All you have to do is read the Child free by choice thread or even be a member here for more than 5 minutes and read some of GG's posts.

I'm actually quoting myself - wow- I can't believe she responded to everyone's posts but mine. Guess she's not admitting it.

Can't believe she left. I think she knows we are right.I have to go to work now. I'll check in later to see the drama

 

[JunieJay]

See? There is a God.

I'm thinking it was Mary, the blessed Mother, who answered our prayers today.

You may be right. After all, I did say "Oh, Holy Mother of God" when I read GG says she never said she hates kids.

That is the thing. GG could, to borrow a quote , use her powers for good rather than evil. She could be a rational voice regarding the personal decisions of those who choose to remain child-free. I think most everyone agrees that many people should give far more thought to bringing a child into this world. I can completely understand why many would make the choice to be child-free. Instead she has chosen to degrade, name call and just generally be hateful to those who have made the opposite choice all while demanding that we respect her choices and stop discriminating against her.

Remember this lovely comment from your cheerfully child-free thread, goofygirl?

But when you are infertile I guess it's "ok" to be bitter and take your grief out on anyone. They don't even like it when people around them get pregnant. They get all jealous and think only of themselves instead of being happy for the pregnant person. Pathetic.

Why not take your own advice. If you are childfree, I guess it's "Ok" to be bitter about Mother's Day and take your annoyance out on evryone. They don't even like it when people around them celebrate Mother's Day. They get all annoyed and think only of themselves instead of being happy for the person who actually likes their own mother. Pathetic.

I have 5 children and my ideal day is to be without my kids like. I am a single parent and have total responsibility of them and just one day that I don't have to cook or clean or take care of someone else would be the perfect mother's day for me....That is not the way it is though, in the morning I always do the Race for the Cure and then I go to my adult sons softball game, cause no matter how old they are they still want me to go to their games and then I come home and do whatever. I got cards last year though (but usually don't get cards for any holiday and my oldest is 32, 30, 25 and 13 year old twins and a grandmother to 4) and they did take me out for dinner but no reservations so we went from restaurant to restaurant looking for room. Sounds like I am ungrateful not just want to be appreciated everyday just not one day a year. No flaming please just the way my life is...
