Sucky anonymous comments are the online equivalent of egging my car.

April 13, 2009 12 Comments

So, I have had so much fun this past week, making new friends in Blog-Land and reading comments they have left me. Last Monday after reading about it on All That Is Good, I played along with a post and I listed 10 things that bugged me.

I got lots of fun comments and then I read this one, from Anonymous.

Add to the list housewives who bitch about they’re lives. (grammar mistake intentional just to bug you).Count your blessings instead of whining about them.(From a mother of 3 boys who works full-time).

Gee, Mrs. Anonymous, are you saying that I can only let litterbugs, inconsiderate drivers, and telemarketers bother me if I am a mother who works full-time outside of the house? As a SAHM I should not be bothered by such things? (In this case, no-brainers that bother everyone…?)

Are you saying that my dislike of Fritos, Corn-Nuts and the smell of Patchouli is a character flaw, as opposed to personal preference? If I went to work full time, then would it be OK if I did not like these things?

Is it your position that my expectations regarding RSVPs and spelling and grammar rules are ridiculous and that those expectations are created by my lazy, stay-at home-momminess? If I had a full-time job in addition to taking care of my kids, then would it be OK if I tried to instill an appreciation for common courtesy and the rules of the English language…?

You appear to be under the impression that I consider rudeness, littering, etc as blessings. (You said I should be counting them, after all….) You need to improve your reading comprehension. You appear to be under the impression that women who stay home with their kids are gin-soaked housewives, wearing robes and hair curlers, while watching their soaps and back handing their kids.

I don’t feel the need to defend my list, so much as I feel the need to point out the hypocrisy and double standards in your bitter comments. Women who are Stay At Home Moms are fortunate, yes, but also smart, talented, funny, over-worked, under-paid, and waaaaaay under-appreciated. If any one of us want to make a list and let off a little steam, that is A-OK.

Mrs. Anonymous? You’re an idiot.

Why don’t you cool down and pop in here for a drink when you get off work?

    I am LMAO! You have summed it up so perfectly!

    Some woman are so riddled with jealousy that their vision is jaded. I too recently experienced a similar “attack”. What some of these woman fail to see is that we have more respect for a working Mom than they will ever know after all they do all we do and punch a time clock!

    Let these childish, petty comments roll off your shoulders. She’s nothing more than a SAHM hater!

    Well I’m off, my Bon-Bons are melting and making a terrible mess!

    WOW!! How sad to get a mean attack like that on an outlet meant for fun (blogs). I never got into this debate. I have worked full time outside the home as a mommy from the very beginning. Personally, I loved working outside the home AND being a mom to my kiddos. Recently, my company decided that after 11 years, they didn’t need me anymore and now I have a little blessing of experiencing life as a SAHM. I love it too. I just don’t get the meanness involved on either side. WHO CARES what someone else decides to do with their lives if it is not harming anyone else? I really just don’t get it……

    I’m actually hoping this is just a mean joke???

    On a different note, I got you back for a game of tag- pop on over to my latest entry…..

    Have a great week- and DON’T let this stop you from blogging!!!

    No worries! I’m fine. I didn’t get my feelings hurt or anything like that. (I just have a really tough time NOT pointing out stupidity….)

    Have a great week!

    Sorry about the comment! Breaks my heart when people have to attack others, it doesn’t do any good. It doesn’t make anyone feel better, or accomplish anything. I’m glad I found your blog, you are too cute and sooo funny!

    Hope your day is great!

    I can’t believe that people do that…comment and then don’t say who they are! You hit the nail on the head and I hope they read it. I work, and let’s say I had 0 problem with your post. The comment made no sense, you are right.

    That is so funny! You hit the nail on the head with your reply to that snarky comment. So many people think that SAHM’s are “lazy, stupid, have nothing to contribute to society…” : )
