Comparative Grieving, Pain Olympics & More Completely Fucked Up Stuff From The Bump BOTB

So I really LOOOOVED reading that copy and paste of my first blog entry. You girls do know that the BOTB is a PUBLIC forum? And no, zysbaby or whatever you stupid fucking SN is-- I have yet to leave you your own present. There are too many stupid people on that board. I can't be everywhere at once! Just so ya know, I do hate you all equally.

So I guess I should continue with my message of truth about this pathetic excuse for a message board. The first being something akin to Comparative Grieving . This mentality truly flourishes on websites like BOTB. You have to compare how miserable you are because you aren't pregnant, and if you preggo you have complain about how your symptoms are making you miserable. Call me a heartless bitch, but I get so annoyed hearing people complain about how stressful and hard and emotional this is and the next cycle and listen to my sob story wahwahwah. Did it ever occur to you that it is also a sob story that there are roughly 147 million orphans in the world? Or that it is perhaps irresponsible to spend 10k per unreliable IVF attempt when adoption can be cheaper and has a much higher success rate?

Its enough to qualify for the Pain Olympics . That's right it has a name. Competitive bitchyness (that is not nancy C. vs. that blonde psycho iceskater) from people on pregnancy boards has a name. Breeder women won’t be happy until everything is about them, will they? It wouldn’t be so bad if they actually accomplished anything, but they don’t. They just overpopulate the planet, drug their kids up on Ritalin and refuse to make their kids behave because it might “stifle their creativity.” *disgusted sigh*

Those obnoxious entirely self-centered kids we used to bitch about have grown up into the obnoxious teens and twenty-somethings we are all disgusted with today. Don’t try and convince me that they aren’t getting pregnant for the attention! You get a bunch of twenty-somethings who just want some group to fit in to, and all the other girls their age are having babies, so they just do it, too, just to “fit in” and of course, to get the attention. These attention-whores have dumped the custom of waiting until the 2nd trimester to announce their pregnancies. They announce the pregnancies the minute they pee on the stick, because they don’t want to miss out on ONE MINUTE of attention. If they waited, they might miss two whole months of attention! You couldn’t expect them to do that!More importantly, if they miscarry, they want oodles of attention and sympathy for that, too. In fact, at least 25% of why they announce their pregnancies early (despite the miscarriage risk) is because they want the extra sympathy in case they miscarry. Studies show that miscarriage is very common, and some claim that nearly half of all pregnancies result in miscarriage. If miscarriage is so common, why do they act like it’s a huge tragedy? If everyone pretty much goes through it at one time or another, what makes theirs so special? It’s ridiculous how they want to milk it for so much attention. They certainly don’t want to cook or clean their own houses (even when “cooking” today means putting something in the microwave, pressing start and waiting five minutes, and “cleaning” means spending the five minutes loading the dishwasher which will do all the work for them). It’s fucking ridiculous how lazy these parents are today! So let me get this straight. They want non-stop attention from the second they pee on the stick until the baby is born. Additionally, they want us to shower them with gifts (namely: buy them everything their baby needs so they don’t have to spend their own money) and then they want us to volunteer our time to do THEIR housework because they want to be waited on hand and foot?
