[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound obnoxious and full of yourself. A very "not like the other girls" vibe. Gross. [/quote] At least we know why she's a single parent.[/quote] Yikes. The Vienna moms are living up to their “mean girls” reputation and then some. [/quote] OP here. This is what I'm referring to. I could totally imagine someone in my neighborhood saying this to me -- the intolerance for anyone who doesn't fit the "Vienna mold" is intense. [/quote] OP. You are a mean girl[/quote] Why? She has stated her opinion of the situation without name calling or even put downs.Meanwhile people in here are calling her loser. And yet you call her a mean girl? It is almost like everyone expects all women to get along with each other even if they are uncomfortable. Do women always have to be “like the other girls?” Are they allowed to be introverts? If a woman doesn’t like to hang in mommy groups she needs to be painted as a “loser” This is a weird thread and I guess my gen x self is too old to understand this divisive crap. Op good luck and I hope you find a person or two![/quote] Because she doesn’t like her neighbors, puts down the things other moms talk about as if it’s beneath her, doesn’t seem to want to get involved and get along with any group, and says she curses a lot and likes to rock the boat. I live in Vienna and have friends who live next door to people on the other side of the political aisle and they all get along. I don’t think they would though if they put down things a majority of other parents cared about in the town or cursed a lot or tried to rock the boat all the time. I know they both got pets this past year and enjoy talking about them and their kids. I like it that they are less involved in social justice and more involved in just being a good person, neighbor, and friend. This behavior calling out everyone also wouldn’t fly in Petworth. I have friends in Petworth and they have their own special interests. [/quote] But maybe she IS the person talking about dogs over the fence. That is a polite acquaintance or neighbor relationship in person but not a deep friendship. I’m assuming OP wants someone to be real with whom she can curse around and have a deeper bond with. You can be surface politely to anyone: civil talk about dogs and trees etc. those are not lasting bonds which is what I think OP is looking for. Just because she is writing her true thoughts online doesn’t mean she isn’t surface poliete. She cant break through surface polite and that is the issue for her right now. [/quote]
