The person who loves to tell posters “that was a strange response” or “that was strange post”. Um, ok!

The poster that ends every post with YMMV.

Posters who say elementary school isn’t childcare. Posters who say their six year olds are just thriving doing DL. Posters who say reopening schools are is going to lead to dead kids and teachers. On and on. I hate DCUM sometimes.

That guy with the new wife who ditched his kids because his wife is mean, who comes here to complain every few months, but then never changes anything or leaves the new wife and the cycle continues. I feel so bad for his kids!

Not a big deal but when people ask for recs on take out and someone always says "it's so easy to make yourself".

I do! And I adore that person IRL. If this is the worst thing, then I’d give them a pass.

Welp says so much, though!

Stunning lack of empathy.


Oh, yeah, totally this one.

YES! I loathe these people, and I'm not a teacher.


Same! I think there are good arguments for opening schools but then some parents reduce everything to “teachers are lazy and just want to stay home in their pajamas.” Which is such a rude thing to say about the people who have been educating your children at no extra cost to you, and will continue to do so after we go back.


I mean, I have nothing against teachers - my sister is one - but it isn't as if public education is some magical free service. You pay for it with taxes. So this part seems irrelevant.


Well, note I said “no *extra* cost.” You have to pay property taxes anyway, school or no. I feel like people treat teachers similarly to how they do an employee. (And I do think there should be accountability for teachers but mostly I see these posters just armchair quarterbacking)


Yep. Plus the amount of Mah Tax Dollars that go to the entire school system is not even remotely near what a private school would cost. So if not free, you're getting a ridiculous bargain even for a mediocre teacher or schoo.

Absolutely, 100%, the woman who pops into every single thread about cheating (or even threads not having anything to do with cheating) to remind us that her husband cheated on her with some redhead food blogging “wh@re” in bethesda even though she was “f@cking” him x3-4 times per week at home. She really, really needs therapy. And she needs to stop replacing letters with symbols in curse words. It’s so bizarre....

Posters who dump on you immediately when you say you’re a nanny. Like we are all irrelevant lumps. Lumps who are helping you be able to work from home and helping educated your kids right now. It doesn’t matter. Anytime you post that you’re a nanny, someone will always dump on you. So, my poster is ‘multiple’ posters.

Also, the Indian lady who is always complaining about her MIL and marriage. Please leave him!!!
