Mamapedia Most Memorable

"Do noisy toys make you go crazy" Can't think of her screen name but every couple of months she asks about noisy toys.

Dandelions posts are usually funny too :)

Happy Friday

There was a post once about a husband who kicked his child in the stomach.
I don't remember the name of the poster--but I remember the post.
It made me physically sick to my stomach for DAYS after reading it.
(Hey--if you're out there--I'd love to know how it's going.)

Noisy toys

Rachels cranky old lady nieghbor calling the cops for no good reason

Neighbors noisy dog - is it ok to open the fence and hope it runs away?

Could I be pregnant

I looked through his phone and now my feelings are hurt

all the family drama that gets aired on facebook

all the women that can't stand thier stepkids and try to justify it

How can I make money from home

unfortunately my memory is getting more and more faulty, and the most memorable posts are invariably pulled. by the next DAY i can't remember what was so controversial that it led to all those blank spaces in my flower garden!
but there are for sure posters whose stuff i gravitate to. mostly because i think they're wise, smart and helpful, some because i adore their snark, and a few because i just can't resist the trainwreck.

PB&J, that woman's first post is my most memorable post as well. It was about where to go to find 3-somes. No, the woman isn't on here anymore. She didn't like not being able to write trolling types of questions, including her subsequent rant that there were no such things as special needs (except for bipolar disorder - someone in her family had that, so it MUST be real), and she had people in tears over her hurtful words. Because so many of her threads got pulled, she went out in a blaze of screaming, ranting and raving, and yes, that was some weekend!

But Sam mentioned my all-time favorite - the lady with a thing for items with batteries! She got me every time! I wonder when she will be back with a variation on her "theme"!

Hands down Grandma T's comment about trips to the gynecologist - just remember you aren't the only hole on the course. Love that gem.

There are other regular posters I look for because of their sense of humor and solid advice. None of us are infallible but sometimes I am impressed by people's compassion and kindness. Happy Friday to all.

Well, Dandylion of course! I mean really, her daughters husband gets her other daughter pregnant and what's a mom to do???!!! Ugh. I love all the ones that I'm not quite sure if I believe are real or not. =)

My answer is still the same as the last time the question was asked :)

I will never forget the mom who's daughter passed away by drowning, I think she posted to ask us for prayers that day.
Thanks for the post it has reminded me to say a prayer for that mom now.

Sending her hugs & prayers of strength!

Added: I am currently thinking of the mom who posted about her adopted daughter with RAD. That condition was new to me until her post (must have missed Ephie post about her niece). I have learned and matured in more ways than one due to you moms.

Sendding her prayers of wisdom & strength!

Great thread for a Friday!
I also remember the great pants debate. One of my faves! People don't realize that their questions reveal so much more about their personality than just the simple problem they are describing.

The more recent ones that spurred all the response that I thought were so interesting to read were the 4 year old on a school bus and the husband calling too much from the business trip.

Oh and I forget her name but she was Walking into the Lions Den (the bar), and even though her post said it was already decided she was going, a ton of people answered her question to say "No, don't go!" (me included). I am dying to know what happened in the Lions Den! I think it was a couple weeks ago.

Whenever I read the ones about divorce and step-familes it really bums me out and makes me very resolved to never get divorced. The step-family thing seems especially hard to adjust to and integrate, especially the extended family. Remember the one where the boyfriends family didn't make an easter Basket for the girlfriend's daughter? Ugh so sucky.

My memory is short so I can only remember the ones from recent times.

Last summer or thereabouts, there was a woman who posted a ton of sex questions. Which of course led to a full range of answers and many questions were pulled which led to even more drama. It was fun to watch. I wonder if she's still on here??

Hey OneandDone....the mama that posted about the jackass that kicked his son has had an update in the past three or so days titled "Ex-husband wont leave me alone" or something to that (trying to get back together). It was this this week for sure. Let me know if you can't find it and I will.

Riley's post about ALMOST running over a child in a parking lot when the mom didn't have control and truly her posts about her STBX slamming her head into the ground makes me so mad.

I remember the mama with the pregnant 14 year old was quite powerful.

I wish I could think of just "one" right now, but I can't.
I do know that I have learned a lot on this site, stuff I wish I would have known back when my boys were little.
Some things on here just crack me up and I get lots of "ah ha" moments.
Lot's of brilliance and humor on this site.
I've gleaned a few great recipes as well.

Most of the ones I like are usually pulled.

The crazy 'my mom's a b**** because she treated me like a baby at McDonalds when my 13 yo bro and I threw katchup at each other'.

Love this question!

Well mine has to be the breastfeeding mom of six who exposed her "girls" at a playground to "comfort" nurse her child who was old enough to be walking and talking VERY well after he fell off a jungle gym and got tore up pretty bad.

Instead of taking her child to the hospital for treatment she decided to sit on a park bench at said playground to nurse her son. There were apparently several witnesses who saw him fall off the very high metal climber. The mom said she nursed him because he couldn't calm himself and while she said he was unable to stop crying, had minor scrapes and cuts, and apparently an extremely huge knot on his head, she didn't think he needed to go to the hospital.

According to her post, there were other children playing in the park also. And after a few minutes of nursing her child, she got told off by two offended moms with two little boys of their own who were apparently shocked by the "show" they saw. The words got ugly and her husband came to her defense and they backed off.

If I remember correctly, I think mom didn't use any kind of covering at all...it sounded like the recent TIME magazine cover...ya know. And very much like the TIME article, this woman's original post illicited not only an immense number of responses (for sure over 60) but a hail storm of other moms posting their own follow-up questions on the very controversial topic of "extended breast-feeding" and "public breastfeeding."

The debates were tremendous and the things people said to the mom were downright hilarious and often very mean. Especially because she neglected to take the child to the hospital and because she was still breastfeeding him when he was clearly pre-school aged.

This post was about a year and a half ago.

A couple of years ago, there was a mom that wanted to abort her baby because it was another boy. Then talked about putting him up for adoption. I often wonder what happened with that situation.

I often shake my heads at the moms that get SO worked up about a situation that is in reality kind of minor. I just wonder how people like that would handle a TRULY bad situation. They freak out over a bruised knee, or scrapes on the elbows. OMG - what if their kid got cancer - how the heck would they make it through something like that?

As soon as some one metions them i remember the gold plated pants, and many others.

I still get a kick out of replying one time to a Grandma in a Bikini Rocking the beach, that she probably wasn't as hot as she thought she was, and how many people jumped on me that if they weren't fat they would wear a bikini in a minute-- wrinkles, over done tan, bleach blonde hair, saggy boobs and all.

And that leads to all the little girls in bikini questions too. I'm always intersted in hearing the philosophy behind those 2 camps too.
