Why do I constantly read about mums on here running around after their kids and husbands like headless chickens and then moaning about it?

I am new here and I am amazed on how 1950's a lot of you sound.

The woe is me brigade.

I would think that the ones that disagree or don't like the thread are the ones that are doing the ''everything''

I'll just ask my husband what my opinion on this is, and get back to you

matchbox20 · 22/01/2011 21:39

Oh. I thought trolls were supposed to post something inflammatory?

matchbox20 · 22/01/2011 21:40

We sound 1950's?!

Yes a lot do, not everyone of course.

southeastastra · 22/01/2011 21:41

is the point of a forum to vent and moan?

a forum for mothers surely would need this Grin

op

southeastastra · 22/01/2011 21:41

so what?

Cheggerspartypopper · 22/01/2011 21:42

People rarely come on here to say how fantastic things are, but to ask for advice on when they have issues. Such as husbands not helping.

Your sample is skewed I think.

matchbox20 · 22/01/2011 21:44

ok

If that is what the forum is for I guess it works a treat.

Some of us don't. No woman should tolerate unfairness at home or make herself a mug otherwise she wont' be able to give of her best to those she loves, children and partner.

However parents whether male or female with very small children will always find life fairly hard. Much easier to work which is why I'm glad I went back after 2 weeks. It's the better and easier path but even so with small childern it will always be hard and then you have years when it isn't. It's only a short period.

TheCrackFox · 22/01/2011 21:57

In my day Trolls used to make a proper effort. Where is the entertainment, the showmanship and the swearing, eh?
