The one who always says breastfeeding benefits don't exist beyond the first 6 weeks.

dim-witted

I'd put the "sheesh" and the "good grief" posters in this category.

"How do you not understand?"

The poster who starts all comments with 'Ugh' sounds so childish and dim-waited.

I mean, this is actually a really common opinion among UMC professional women. I doubt it's only "one or two" awful posters in the preschool forming saying this.

Carters and Target are useful because they're cheap and kids stain or outgrow their clothes so quickly but I wouldn't call them high quality clothing brands.

It’s a common opinion among jerks who view their children as little dolls to display.

I’m in the “UMC professional” group and I would never tell my kindergartner that he can’t wear a Spider-Man shirt bc OMG what would Muffy think?! They’re young for such a short time. There is plenty of time to wear Polo and boring khakis.

^Right!

As a single/childfree poster here, I’ve learned:

We childfree peeps cannot post in child-related sub forums, and parents of singletons can only advise other singleton parents. Parents of multiples have free reign. 😅😅😅

DCUM is hilarious.

Oh, no, you misunderstand! DCUM has complaints about literally everyone! I'm a parent of a singleton and even I am well aware that parents of multiples-- and ESPECIALLY more than two-- get dumped on constantly.

We're all terrible human beings! No one is good enough!

Ha! Fair enough. 😆😆

I guess I’ll wander my single, childfree self over to the parenting boards to read up. (I hope the board gatekeeper posters’ heads explode.)

Posters who hate on Disney and/or cruises yet have never actually been to Disney or on a cruise.

Full disclosure: I also can’t stand posters who have BTDT yet criticize people who enjoy those kinds of trips. I find it equally befuddling and amusing when Suzy reflects on their one trip to Disney so little Larla could experience it and then disses everyone who actually enjoys Disney followed by a laundry list of all the “better” trips they’ve taken to Europe, Asia or the Moon. Those posters are even worse than the snobs who have simply never been.

And, even worse: the posters who throw down over Cape Cod vs OBX. Their fights make the SAHM/WOHM mommy wars look tame.

The women who feel the need to brag about their husbands on threads where the OP is overwhelmed by working full time and doing 90% or more of household and kid related chores and asking for advice. People will try to sympathize by making statements stereotyping gender (I.e. women tend to do more) and other, annoying posters will feel the need to brag about their unicorn husbands who are super high earners (750k +) but also do 50% or more at home/with the kids plus treat their (invariably SAHM or part time working) wives like queens and who live by the adage “happy wife, happy life.”

I think most of them are making it up just to provoke people.

The I'm a microbiologist poster
Over in the political forum, there's a poster who keeps responding "I don't care, do u" on threads. That's gotten old.
The Kane thread disappears for awhile and then pops up again - that thread got too weird.

I'm guilty of the third one. Sorry! I'll stop. It wasn't me that did this a few pages back in this thread, though.

Ugh - I got "sweetie" in response to a post the other day. Glad I'm not the only one, but wish this person would go get some anger management therapy.

The pandemic police on the travel forum.

Overall, the horrible and hateful relationship and personal advice is alternately entertaining and then leaves me thinking our society is doomed. Ask Carolyn Hax or see a therapist, this is not the place.

The folks on the travel forum are largely COVID minimizers. I appreciate the reality check comments.
