i feel bad for her
Have you seen some of the comments on her fb posts?? I am disgusted by some of these women . I'm sure some are even mothers. The nasty posts make them no better than the average cyber bully. I can't believe some of these people.
Re: i feel bad for her
*always remembering Annaleigh Lucy*
I didn't read the comments, but her response was kinda witty.
So if you'd like to continue exploring your hidden inadequacies and unresolved issues at my expense, feel free to do it somewhere else! I promise I don't mind.
yeah, it's one thing to think someone is whacko and talk about them among yourselves, it's another to go to HER page or do it somewhere she frequents and it's known she'll likely see it. it's just mean. they're not well intentioned friends who are trying to help her see the light, they know nothing they're saying will be helpful.
i thought it was weird her baby wasn't really more than a prop in the photo. as newborns my kids were like the focus of every picture. they were the point of taking the camera out at all. and i have a feeling her kid will likely have some serious issues. but i'm sure she'll be doing "her" best for her kid, she seems like she has good intentions. but plenty of people have survived narcissistic parents before. it's only recently we've had blogs and facebook pages to make it public.
just for the record anytime you post a link on here, she will see the comments attached to it. You can see where the traffic is coming from, and she will get a link directly linking her to our nest comments. Whether she reads it, who knows
I do think its different then posting on her actual FB page. I can be mean and have been but I wouldnt go that far.
And I also wouldnt feel too badly for her, she makes money every time someone clicks onto her blog and in the last 2 weeks she has made bank just from the nest alone. I am sure it will only increase from her when she starts posting her awesome mothering ability. Her FB page following has also almost tripled. That is great for her and any products she wants to try to endorse and blog about
exxxxactly. she's no dummy. I haven't been following at all, but based solely on all the chit chat here, she obviously has made a ton of money this week!
"Like" me on Facebook
This. If she was that upset over it, she would be posting updates on her personal FB, not her "blog FB."
I still fail to see how it's 'ok' to post the hateful/negative comments just because its out there for everyone to see. I mean, i get it..but I don't see how people feel its ok since 'she put it out there'.
As for the $$ factor I don't know how all that works. But I really don't think anyone would welcome all that for a few bucks..well, maybe who knows.
Mangia! My Family Table
I agree. With that said, she does not deserve to be belittled or ridiculed or whatever else is being done, have not read her blog...tried it but just couldn't. What I feel bad for is the kid. What if one of these psychos actually figures out where she lives...there are some batshitcrazy people out there and this chick it totally feeding into the craziness..from what I have read you all post.
I don't think it's "okay" at all - BUT I do think that if she was truly upset about this, she would have started keeping things private for just her family/friends.
*always remembering Annaleigh Lucy*
Well said. Also, when you show yourself to be narcissistic and appearance obsessed - what do you expect? If it REALLY bothered her, she would not have it open to everyone. Some of the comments were quite funny, I thought! When you take a photo of yourself posing with a screaming baby (most parents would at least ATTEMPT to calm a baby instead of worrying about their own self-image) you should expect such a response.
You will forever be my best friend. I can almost feel our hugs. I will ensure everyone will know (now and in the future) what a genuine, kind, loving person you were...I already miss your laughter and our daily conversations. I love you, Samantha. May 20, 1983- February 20, 2012
I feel bad for her accessorbaby. Who has the time, ability, or even inclination to not only post every outfit change, but to also weed out negative comments about them -- especially someone with a brand new baby?!
You have to be a very special kind of narcissist, I'm sorry.
i am with amy and amanda on this one. just like kate gosslin. i NEVER felt bad for her or any of the woman on the real housewives series or octomom or whatever. and making a BLOG like that is no different than having a camera crew in front of you. you made a concious effort to do this and you CONTINUE to do it. she LOVVVVVVVVVVES the attention.
is it right that people say hurtful things to her? no. but when you pimp you and your family out their like that in this day and age of electronic media and the way things can go viral thats your OWN stupidity.
I think the people that make hateful comments have just as much time on their hands as she seems to. Its kind of like the comments people post on the articles Us Weekly posts on FB. Have you ever read some of them?! Vicious. And what's the point?! But I don't feel bad for those celebrities b/c 1. i'm sure they dont care and 2. they put it out there. I feel like this girl is a little different b/c its not like she's a celeb but still, she's putting it out there, she's making money, she clearly doesnt seem to have a self confidence issue, she'll be alright. I dont equate some nasty comments on her blog to be the same thing as a 13 year old girl getting cyber bullied. And I think talking about it here is no big deal at all. How is it really any different from any other topic we talk about?
I also think it's different b/c its not like this is her personal FB page. Its like her little "business", unfortunately, it seems like her baby is now her "business".
