[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see an attention getting picture here. I see a young mother burning both ends of the candle and having no one to help her. She's not saying her life is so wonderful, she's trying to be real. Maybe looking for another to understand.

We women tend to knock each other down and for what ? FOR WHAT ?

I prefer to give her a hand up instead of kicking her when she's down. What happened to empathy ? Understanding ?

LOVING ONE ANOTHER ? WHY DO YOU JUDGE HER ?

I can totally sympathize with her. BTDT had many many crying episodes. Crying cleanses your soul and helps you make it through another day. We're all doing the best we can.

100% disagree.  When you had your crying episodes, did you snap a selfie (or 12, and choose the one that looked the best and most pathetic) and vomit it all over social media to beg for Likes and asspatting from acquantainces and strangers?  No.  You didn't.  Nobody said she can't cry to "cleanse her soul."  But yes, posting it online is absolutely attention begging, and it's so prevalent that I wonder what we've done wrong in raising so many women who are so fragile.  I never, ever see these sorts of posts from guys -- not even those who work 3 jobs and are constantly physically and mentally exhausted or who are single dads of 3 kids.  [/quote]
