I will say i don’t think Hofstra post alone was bad, I think quoting Seaside was the issue.

“What Not To Love..”” comment was condescending and a blatant jab of kicking someone when they are down. For some reason many won’t admit it. I feel like that post was basically saying, you’re with your family how could you not love it. But that’s not real life. You could love each other to death in your family but doesn’t mean you always love being around each other.

That post was nothing more but an undercover F U to the OP. It could’ve been worded a hella of a lot better and some empathy goes a long way:



Thank you for articulating in a few sentences what it's taking me so many posts to explain. And everyone else that had a nice mother's day expressed sympathy for the OP.

And FTR I actually lived in NJ for 9 years and loved it - I don't want to sound like I was knocking NJ with my comment to hofstra. lol



I understand exactly what you were trying to say and I 100% don’t think it’s a jealousy thing.

I also really didn’t think you were knocking NJ. I just thought it was funny. I used to knock NJ all the time when I moved here. My DH was actually making fun of me when we were in Times Square on Saturday. And he just had to take the opportunity to remind me of how much crap I’ve talked about Nj, while we’re walking through crime scene tape. Chat Icon

See, I didn't really read her comment that way which I guess is why often times things come across wrong online. There is no tone behind the words to really understand how someone means something.

I read it as she had a nice day with her family, nothing more. Unless she has some issue with the OP I am not sure why the intent would be to say "FU" and be condescending towards her but who knows. In any case, I didn't read it any differently than the other posts where people said they had a nice Mother's Day.

Sash, I agree with you in terms of needing time to yourself. Everyone does. We'd all go crazy if we didn't get some down time here and there. For me, holidays are always family time BUT I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy my time alone when the kids are at school. Summer can take its time getting here as far as I am concerned. lol Chat Icon



But why add “what’s not to love”? You’re basically throwing a dig at anyone who was with their family and had complaints. You have to see that? I think that’s the personality of the poster and it’s just off putting to me and many others.

Just say you had a good time with your family. Done! Why the extra point at the end?

You sure do come across as obsessed with Hofstra. You and lululu have something nasty to say, no matter what she posts. Maybe you aren't obsessed but to those looking at all of this, you both sure seem to be.

What do you care if her life is perfect? Maybe she is truly happy with her life. One thing I've learned is that a big part of happiness is perspective. Maybe she has a great outlook on life and that creates true happiness for her. Or maybe she drinks a bottle of wine every day while her kids are at school and that's why she's so happy. Or maybe she married Prince Charming and blue birds tie ribbons in her hair every morning. Whatever it is, she seems to really be happy with her life. WHY DO YOU CARE???
Your constant arguing that no one's life could be that "perfect" only makes you sound jealous, petty, insecure and unhappy. Maybe you're not those things, but your constant posts to Hofstra sure make you sound that way.



You're missing the point. I don't care how perfect your life is, she consistently responds to people asking for advice or simply venting and looking for people in similar situations with a description of her perfect life. That's great, I am happy for anyone that has a perfect life. But it's like if someone comes on after spring break and talks about how upset they are because they had to cancel their travel plans because their husband got laid off and then I go on to say how awesome my break was because my husband got a huge bonus and we went to Hawaii without even mentioning how sorry I am that there spring break sucks. It's a strange mentality to me to be so me me me. And frankly everyone is crying the blues about poor hofstra and I am picking on her - I am pretty sure she's got a thick skin because she sure does dish it out to VB and I highly doubt she's shedding a tear over my comments. But comes at VB time and time again. I'm not sure how people aren't realizing that. She calls her stupid and an idiot. VB doesn't use language like that when dealing with hofstra. She certainly says some things that hofstra has strong reactions to, but she has every right to her own opinion. Anyway, that's my point. I'm gonna try to go back to ignoring her.



You need to move on. Really. Move on.

I don't seek advice on here, except when I asked about people's experience with a puppy, and I certainly don't vent or look for anyone with a "similar situation". That is some bizarre narrative you've created.

You literally lost your $hit because I said I enjoyed my Mother's Day of nothingness. I don't waste ANY energy worrying about other people's lives, their happiness, their marriages, their anything really. You should do the same. It's really odd how worked up you seem to get over me and my life. You created pages long drama on this thread over absolutely nothing. You don't like me? Cool, cool. I don't care. Then stop replying to me.

Enjoy your day.

No idea why she added that but it didn't resonate with me as something malicious. I think people on here have a tendency to look into comments too much. It wasn't a comment getting worked up over IMO. Guess I read it differently.

I was really replying "same" to the spending time with family comment as that's all I did. I stayed home and didn't do much of anything.

Honestly part of why I am replying is because you can't stand to see anyone else get the last word ever. And I find it funny that no matter how hard you try you just can't let someone else's post be the last. Carry on....

You’re right, I’m not surprised at her response on this thread. This is also the chick that has had the best days of her life during the pandemic of rainbows and unicorns with big dreams of Broadway shows, escaping death vectors. While everyone was either dying or suffering and close to a mental breakdown.

I hope she has her bullet proof vest ready, because this lovely pandemic and the leaders behind it have destroyed NYC!

Which is why I defended your post and said it wasn’t bad.

But seaside has a history of writing these weird, bizarre and condescending posts that the majority ignores. It’s clear you will defend her and won’t see my side. So we aren’t going to agree.

The city is beyond scary now. I went in for my vaccine a few weeks ago and took the train. What a mistake. I felt like I was going to get mugged in broad daylight right outside of penn station. And I've lived in some pretty rough areas in the bronx so I really don't scare very easily.

Omg same, I was in shock. I hadn’t been in the city since 2019 when I lost my job. I was stunned and I grew up in Bushwick. I felt like I went back in time. It takes a lot for me to get scared and I wanted to get the hell out of there. It’s really sad.

LOved my Mother's Day. My son plays hockey, and they opened the arena up to two spectators, so I was so happy to see him play in over a year.

Sorry Rainy Day that your Mother's Day didn't go as you hoped for; as well as this post taking an odd turn.

I don't normally get involved in BS but I have to point out that way more than 2 people did come on here to say they had a lovely Mother's Day.

The singling out is just so bizarre here. Chat Icon

In the grand scheme of things, all of you should realize that you are lucky to even have a "Mother's Day" to even celebrate. I'm pretty sure being a Mother is a huge blessing regardless if your day went well or not.

Chat Icon Chat Icon



This whole thread is just too much. I think there are a lot of misunderstandings.

I’m happy for those that had a good day and I’m sorry some didn’t have a good day.

I’m not a mother, but I do have a mother, so I’ll comment. I was a bit bummed for a few reasons. I couldn’t spend Mother’s Day with her. I was a upset because one of my “fur kids” isn’t doing so well and it’s probably the last Mother’s Day I’ll spend with her. She’s 15 and a half and currently at the animal hospital for 2 nights (kidney failure they think, but it isn’t as bad as it sounds, or maybe I’m just telling myself that).

It’s a lot to deal with, so I’m concentrating on that. But I’m not really bothered if someone had a great day. You win some and you lose some.

It really is just a stupid Hallmark holiday that can make people feel badly.

Re: How was everyone's Mother's Day

RainyDay, someone reached out and said that I should clarify my very quick and casual post on your thread. When I have time (or think I do), I skim threads in waiting rooms and at other odd moments. I read your post quickly and saw "started great," "fed the ducks," "made my own reservation," and thought you were giving a neutralish rundown of your day.

I skimmed what others had written & wrote something directed at the group--not at you--and kind of with a shrug. There is enough crazy and cruel on the internet; I'm sorry that I didn't realize that you were venting.

How was everyone's Mother's Day

To be honest, I hate mothers day. There are so many women out there who lost their mother's, desperately want children and can't have, never married so never had the opportunity to have a child, parents of a deceased child, those estranged from their mothers..and it's shoved down our throats for a month before. I love my children and I love my mother and MIL, but I don't feel the need for a made up holiday. It creates a lot of sadness, hurt, disappointment.

Agreed. And I feel the same way about Valentine's Day.
It creates a lot of disappointment and sad feelings in many.
Show me you love me every day or on a random Tuesday- not because a Hallmark holiday says you have to.

Yep, hate Valentine's Day too. All it accomplishes is making single people feel bad. Aren't you supposed to love your SO every day? Why does February 14th have to be so special. lol

LOL and honestly - it's not different than most other days of the year. My DH said it's all about me like every day is Chat Icon and he acted like he does every day - that it's all about him...
