unpopular opinions

kikibaby · September 2010

I love the idea of having a sister wife. It would be fun to have another woman around to shop with, cook with, play Scrabble with. Plus, an on-hand baby sitter and someone to take one for the team when I don't feel like doin' it? Sweet.

Bonus points if we can share clothes.

[QUOTE]I'd forgotten about the future-mrs drama on Friday. I didn't post in the SB thread, but I read most of it and agree wholeheartedly with whoever called the reaction over there "surreal." (I think it was Lala.) It was okay to be outraged when E. was somehow responsible, but now that the evidence points elsewhere it's a "witch hunt"? Okay then.
Posted by Celles[/QUOTE]

I completely agree. It was SO weird how (nearly) everyone either shrugged their shoulders and told us to grow up and move on, or they said we were convicting her with circumstantial evidence and now she would be lionized and blah blah blah. (People DO get convicted with circumstantial evidence. If it's good.)

lvb, I get the same thing from a lot of people, including my mother. I think the general opinion varies a lot. Personally, I don't think one is more right than the other, as long as the kids are raised well (ie not in daycare 80hrs a week). I want to be a SAHM just because I don't have the stress tolerance to handle a bunch of kids AND a full-time job.

Yeah pretty much. She is one of their own, so all of the evidence that we found must be wrong and ignored. Also, now the SB board is the nice and helpful one and we're just dramatic shit-stirrers over here who can't ever let anything go.

In reality, I'm sure I'd be jealous. Plus? I'm pretty sure the whole thing doesn't work quite like the little fantasy I just made up.

Nebb · September 2010

I must not pay attention because I wasnt aware that futuremrs was a SB reg. Ive seen her posts here and there, but not regularly. I think? I dunno. I recall seeing her post here as well in the past. Im personally all for raiding her boards to get an explanation so she can be the crazy mod who deletes anyone who says anything she doesnt like. I want to know wtf is going on inside her head.

I would LOVE to be a SAHM and ultimately that's my goal. I think I'd probably go crazy if my job weren't so accomodating to let me schedule my hours to benefit J. Right now I have my schedule worked out so I can take and pick her up from school.......and stay and volunteer at the school as needed during her school days.

I really don't like MacFreitas' way of jumping in with something abrasive out of the blue, but I don't think that's a particularly unpopular opinion.

squirrly · September 2010

In some ways I'd like to hear what future-mrs has to say - claiming her innocence or defending her choice or whatever else. But, at the same time, I really don't know that I want to deal with the drama of it. I had hoped TK would be able to prove/disprove what we found, and take action based on it, but that doesn't seem to be happening, and that's disappointing, regardless of who did it.

To a point, I understand the witch hunt concerns - if it was somebody I was friends with, I'd feel betrayed and have a hard time accepting the proof as such. And, I wouldn't want to see my friend hated for something I didn't believe she had done. I just don't understand the vehement denial of the possibility from people who don't have that connection. Wanting more before proverbially "burning someone at the stake"? Sure. But to not accept the possibility is just beyond my comprehension.

laladypoet · September 2010

nebb, she started posting on SB because she said E was full of "mean girls." I haven't seen her post here in forever.
granted, she didn't post on SB as much as other regs, but she was definitely team-SB.

Maybe she just changed her sig a lot so I never recognized her as a reg, im really bad with that. I think the moral of the story is that I dont pay attention very well.

I heard about a man who lost like 200lbs from dancing in his chair. Id support that sooner than I support a life altering surgery that has a similar outcome that physical activity does.

Dont ask me where I heard about the chair dancing man, cause I dont remember.
