The anti- kate poster who monitors her work schedule on spreadsheets.

How Many Pizzas Do I Order?!?!?!

Soulmates is a classic. Has been posting that a long time. But I think she was featured in Non-famous part 1. I appreciate the dry sense of humor.

The small group of "that's daycare, not preschool" freaks whenever someone talks about full-day preschool.

The dummy who accuses an OP of "trying to make Fetch happen" when they start a thread she doesn't think should exist. These often turn into multi-page threads.

The Pr person for the Whittle school

The woman who talks about how she stays fit and well dressed for her husband and she expects the same from him, which he obliges because it is part of showing respect and living up to his respective end of the bargain.

These delights:
- Get an MRI because your headache is a brain tumor!
- I potty trained at 12 months, maybe I should write a book.
- You need to increase your catering budget.
- You should make that from scratch.

Or she could simply realize that not everyone on DCUM is middle class and up or from a middle class family of origin. My spouse and I grew up poor. We’ve been working class adults and are somewhat new to being middle class. We still live among “the common folk” and like it that way.

And the "well back HOME in New Jersey (or CT/NY/MA/wherever) we don't have this issue because we have TOWNS BASED school systems" with a lengthy internal diatribe on the inferiority of county-based schools.

Angry former MCPS teacher, now resident of Howard County, who comes on every single MCPS thread to spread bitterness.


There’s one who moved to Frederick and is just as bitter and fixated.

There seem to be A LOT of very unhappy MCPS teachers. They don't sound bitter to me just mistreated by a bad system. I know quite a few MCPS teachers in real life and they all describe the central office and culture coming out of it as very toxic. However, I'm sure that if you are in the central office then they must sound bitter because you know the central office is just awesome.

I’m not in Central Office. DH and I are classroom teachers in MCPS. Both career changers with no desire to leave the classroom. I know unhappy teachers. Some have good cause to be unhappy in MCPS specifically. Others will be miserable in education anywhere. I just don’t understand coming back repeatedly to DCUM to post about a system you left. Do former UPS employees who go to work for FedEx constantly write about how awful UPS is?

She must also live in MoCo!

The woman who split from her husband and is with a new man and her and her son have never been happier but her friend doesn't support her new relationship.

Also in Beauty there's the poster who talks about needing "1/4 teaspoon, it's more than you think!" in SPF threads.
