Re: you know who bugs me?
yesyesyesyesyes
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Uh yeah. I just finished reading this through and evillle is an ass. The "focusing" on your kids looks = issues thing is cracking me up especially when its been prefaced with "i don't think they're cute buts..." and discussion over whether or not they are cute. I mean. Ok?
Weird.
Word, sister bum.
there are three things that concern the masses that lead to these perceived issues.
too many bows.
One baby that doesn't photograph like real life
One baby has sticky outtie ears that get commented on.
You CANNOT tell me that your parents never put you in clothing that you look back on now and say "WTF?". Also, if your parents didn't make fun of any of your features growing up then i guess they're better than mine. hell, we cut eachother up all the time. My dad told me yesterday my legs are too pale for a white skirt. believe it or not, i didn't book a therapy session.
This post has an absurd amount of views.
This is getting boring. I still think she's effing weird for all of the looks comments she's made about her girls, both here and on her blog. I stand by that. I can't attest to how good of a person she is, having never met her, but why is it so wrong to call her out on her weird behavior? We've made fun of TONS of posters on the bump for similar "offenses", why is she any different? And I never said they'd need therapy for her comments, I just think they're weird. Hell, my mom scotch taped a bow on my head for my 1st birthday party because I was MaggieBald.

my mom put me in orange polyester pantsuits and kept my hair really short.
Maybe for the same reason that Wigned seems to have a massive free pass for her choice in names?
I am having a hard time explaining it in words. I found AFB to be hella funny back then. Yes we debated things, got into fights, didn't like one another all the time but we were there to have fun with one another. I found NEY to be more like PC&E I guess. More debating etc. I mean the OG NEY'rs thought GTG's were lame so it was totally different than OG AFB.
In threads like this I see Exp, Hezz, Tasty etc defending old AFB'rs and it may not even be that they 100% agree with that person but they still do it (you know the whole SISTA vibe). NEY was never like that. NEY was more 'look out for yourself' mentality.
Sometimes I look at the new(er) posters and wonder if we were still NEY and AFB which board they would have become regulars on (if any).
Hey, I told her I thought the name was terrible!

When did she get a free pass, Eville? There was en entire thread devoted to it. is it a pass when 50% of the regulars comment that they hate the name?
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Yeah there was no free pass.
Yeah, I still say being overly concerned with your kids' looks is strange and making disparaging comments about them is unhealthly. Maybe not at eight months, but if it continues into childhood or teendom? Yeah.
I can't imagine my dad even noticing what my legs looked like in a skirt, much less commenting on it.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Eh, some people just especially clash. Mulva and JenM, Sam and Star, Christin and anything not kittens and rainbows. Fallin and Moo.
I wish I would get called out by a real poster and not an AE of an AE or whatever evillekittykitty is
anyway, she did inspire me to think that a fun game would be "institutionalize me" , you know, instead of ask me anything
Were there also dinosaurs, TSD? because that must have been a LOOOOONG time before I was around.
Fallin, your parent's never had a funny dig or comment for anything to do with your appearance?
And my dad, king of the jeans/plaid shirt combo has very strong opinions about what people wear. It's weird, but every now and again helpful. You know if he says you look good, you realy must look GOOD.
My dad does a poor job of being subtle when he tells me I'm fat. ("Why don't you and your mom start working out together. You could both use it....for health.") My grandma has also pat my butt and told me "You're getting almost as bad as me back there!" So Babbs saying, "My kid is cuter in person than in pictures" really doesn't register on my radar.
Fair warning: I will make comments about my kids' appearance. If my kid looks like an alien, like my husband did when he was born, I'm going to post it here. I probably won't assemble a burn book and write "UGLY BABY" above the child's photos and leave it in their bedroom to look at regularly, but I can say what I want here about my infant's appearance and I'm sure they'll be fine.

I haven't been in here for 24 hours, so I'm going to skip all the assenine bullshit from Eville - you are an effing dumbass. You've had 2 kids, let's see your hips. I guess that's not really skipping it, but whatever. You're a fvcking tomato and I don't even know what I mean by that.
As far as defending Fenton? I wasn't, not really... I was rubbed weird by Winged being bugged that Fenton didn't like the same things she liked... The whole call out was weird to me. "I treasure your friendship" is my Team America quote of the day. I actually hate Fenton. I hate her. She hit me in the face with her ribbon wand. She's dead to me.
And if I'm old school AFB, so be it! I still have my tattoos to prove it, too...
ps - the snarky board is a sad, sad place now. Those girls are so lame, it makes my dog cry.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
this is why i am still confused from you. that is not the issue at all.
my initial reaction was that I thought you were mad that she thought the talent thing was lame. I guess the call-out was because she pooh-poohed it without giving any other source of entertainment? Am I right? It doesn't even matter anymore... I was just taken back by what I perceived to be a random weird thing, but I guess I misinterpreted the whole thing.
And I do hate her because she's tall.
I am going to agree with Fenton in that if my kid looks like a leprechaun/alien (i.e., like daddy), and if I am not blinded in the fact that it is mine and H's and must be beautiful, I will comment on them. I will certainly have a chuckle at my goofy kid.
However, I will never bring those comments to them as they get older. I also grew up in a house where looks/weight was and still is pointed out and commented on. It can give a complex, yo.
This is all moo anyway. I plan on naming my kid meal ticket.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
yes, but honestly the seriousness was only partial. i thought the sarcastic "quitter" would have clued people in. but this post did bring a lot of drama, so for that i am thankful....but do i have to give fenton partial credit?
