to be really quite upset about this "joke"

[emkana]

A friend of mine has just been headhunted.

In an (online) exchange about this I said "I can't see that ever happening to me" (been SAHM for eight years)

So friend says "Well they do need good sandwich makers in McDonalds"

(Which was brought on by me complaining about the groundhog doggishness of having to make sandwiches again)

aibu not to see the funny side?

yaba little bit sensitive i think

Maybe I am, but it just amazes me how much vitriol people are spreading on a (frankly, in the scheme of things, rather harmless) aibu thread. Yes tell me I'm sensitive, yes tell me not to take it to heart, but the viciousness of the some of the posters really is something else.

She was thoughtless and her comment stung. Indeed you need to forget it but i understand why you were a bit hurt.

Golly i wish i was as thick skinned as some posters seem to be.

However if you're anything like me you'll stew for a couple of days and then totally forget it.

to be fair I am totally over it, was already last night, what galls more now is the attitude of some of the posters on here

em, don't let it rile you

you are going to end up more upset that you were about the original comment

just step away, its not worth it

you know how you feel, and that is all you need to know

I'd never start a thread in aibu - far too scary!

I find baby names hard enough

I think she made a tactless throw away comment that you have been upset by.

With anything that causes us hurt or upset it's useful to really examine why that comment has the ability to upset you.

Is it becasue you value your life at home much more highly than a work away life and want you friends to recognise the import of the role you chose in society?

Or deep down are you a little worried by how sah has affected your employability now and in the future?

Well that's what I do fwiw it's helps me understand myself and thinking more (after ranting like a nutter of course)
