I pretty much just outed myself on a parenting board

[sb2009]

LOL it's not the one I posted at for years, it's a new one started by a bunch of people from the old board. So they were all debating "submission" and it was pretty much "I don't care what the Bible says, I submit to no one..." and how only losers submit ;-)

I pointed out that it's not only a Christian thing, that some people involved in BDSM have TPE, etc. So someone said 'What are you trying to tell us about yourself?"

I figured, why not add something spicy to the usual debate of "he is a loser, but so is she for marrying him" insult fest LOL

Hey it's fun to watch fur fly, but sometimes it's better to pick a battle with one's own species.

 

[Netzach]

That came off snotty, I simply mean other species in the sense of "they're not gonna come around."

 

[sb2009]

oh, I know! I just felt like it's always the same old thing...it's such a bandwagon atmosphere sometimes, and no one really comes out with anything new. Just more of the same, and anyone who says different is called an enabling loser. No one dares to speak out against the almighty threat of "enabler." LOL

In the end they'll just think i'm slighty odder than they did before...the few good friends I have will weigh the evidence of my overall general outlook and happiness and not call the cops to come rescue me from an abusive marriage LOL

LMAOOO break out the floggers and crops on the parenting board!

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

What are you trying to tell us about yourself, Samantha? That you've been two-timing us on a parenting board??!

busted!!!!!

I had quit those people after 7 years, hadn't heard from anyone is a year or more I think...then someone sent me a link and said it wasn't a nutty as the last one. I'm not really invested in this particular board, i think that's why I outed myself LOL

There was an incident a few years back where one poster linked another one to her flikr account, and she forgot to lock some photos of her dressed in some kinky clothes, I think mabye a collar and leash were involved. The one friend was kind enough to somehow post the photos on the website for all the other moms to tsk tsk over. It was pretty nasty. People even threatened (and may have done) to report her to child protective services.

Now if anyone were to call CPS because i mentioned that such at thing as TPE exists, well, CPS is free to investigate me LOL

LOL good on you. I know how military bases work, and the CPS folks can often be.. a bit overzealous, but generally are reigned in by reason.

thankfully we don't live on post!

Oh funny story...when we lived on post in Hawaii I was at a parent-teacher conf and had also taken my youngest, who was a few weeks old. My cell kept ringing but i wasn't going to answer it in my alloted 15 mins of parent teacher conf. It was my husband in the field, and I figured I'd call him back.

So when I called him back he was FREAKING OUT. Someone near our housing had been reported to the MPs for leaving her children unattended, but the MPs got the house number wrong - they said it was our house. So in the little bit of time I had run errands, etc, they had pulled my husband from the field and had him heels-locked in front of his commander for having a bad mom for a wife ROFL

Meanwhile, he's worried because he's picturing me dead in the bathroom or something, and that being why our kids were supposedly wandering the streets...you know those infants who roam the streets. It took forever for people to stop whispering at company functions!

I came out to my dad yesterday by accident. Ooops. Luckily he's not the kind of guy who would dissaprove, and is simply the kind of guy who doesn't want to know how is daughter is having sex.

So, haha, I feel you.

When something like that happens I just figure, you can't put it back so run with it.

It's actually really fun. If you come off all nonchalant about it they will usually be the ones turning red in the face. You just have to overload them.

I'm not exactly sure how it works but here's my theory. Since those dirty, dirty things they are saying are having no effect on you at all, then it is only the person mentioning them who feels uncomfortable with them, and thats when things turn back on them.

Parenting boards are so catty, I've given up with them, always someone dishing out advice without first listening to the problem!

Everyone so loves to judge!

 

[graceanne]

I get CPS called on me pretty routinely by people who think children shoudln't do anything but sit on the couch in front of the TV because they 'might get hurt'. I also get called because my kids are dirty (I don't follow them around washing them constantly) or because they are covered in bruises (not. the two times this has happened they either had one tiny bruise or no bruises at all). The best way to deal with it is by proving you have nothing to hide. I always invite them in, let them talk to my children (with me in the room - they're still strangers). If there's reports of massive bruising I show them they're not. I tell them that my children are clean when they get up and clean before they go to bed, and if they get dirty playing outside in between I consider that healthy.

Every single time the cps worker has apologized for bothering me and left.

I've heard so many ugly things about parenting boards that I haven't bothered joining a single one since I had my little girl. =/

 

[sb2009]

yeah, parenting boards can be bad bad bad. I think it's because it's so easy to be "perfect" online. You can be the perfect mom!

 

[ImOnIt]

Sighface, when i see someone losing their cool with a kid in public i just want to let them know that theyre doing fine, chill out (if humanly possible) and I'll be cool and understanding with you.

Some other parents though... 'Hi, we can deal with your kid screaming, it's your behaviour thats disgraceful.'
