I got what you meant. You are speaking form your experience with specific kids.... (I can say the same about some kids i know  ) unless the parents of THOSE kids are on here, I don;t see why anyone should be taking that comment personally. This is LIF where drama thrives and this thread might reach 10 pages. I would just stop replying now. 
I agree with this completely!
Agreed
ummmm, if you guys take a better look at the thread, the parent of at least one of those kids IS on here and responded that she was hurt and insulted.
Again, it's not the opinion in general that is rude and obnoxious but the delivery of said opinion. It's the WAY she says it, not actually what she's saying.
Actually it is the way people interpretted what she typed. The humor, levity and sarcasm that is easily picked up on in live conversations is easily lost in a typed conversation. I think this is how the whole thing started. I did read all of the original posts and saw the post from the person who knows her IRL. But she posted after a whole lot of others had already said how rude and what not. It is easier to get more upset when others around you are. If they had been having an actual conversation and the statement had come out, there might be a different outcome.
I don't want to start another drama.

I honestly don't understand why people got so upset over this.
When people say how girls are a horror, moody b*tches, blah, blah when they're teenagers, no one gets their panties in a bunch. I've read countless times how people thank all of their lucky stars that they have a boy when they're are teenagers and thankfully don't have a "snotty" girl. I see that a lot and no one says a thing!!!!!!!!
This whole thing is just silly. Who cares who's easier. Children are hard to raise in general regardless of gender!!
Ditto!

I'm confused.
Is this an apology or just another lame attempt at justifying what you said in the other thread?
You know, I believe you once wrote this.

I grew up in a household where we were taught if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fluck up. 
Maybe you should follow your own advice.

Re: Let me reword this..............
I honestly don't understand why everyone is so upset. I mean, I read what you wrote hofstra and can see what some are saying, but i think the majority of people are being way over sensitive. The op asked for opinions, and you gave yours, which you are entitled to. And now on this post you are trying to explain yourself and are still being attacked. I think everyone needs to have a cocktail or a glass of wine and chill out. I have a dd who is a dream most days, but can be a nightmare in other ways, like when eating. My best friend has 2 boys who are both completely different: the older one is loud, doesn't always listen and has temper tantrums on occasion, the younger one is a quiet mush. 2 different personalities. All kids are different regardless of gender. That's my opinion, just like what you said was yours. Don't let people get you upset. I see lots of rude things being said about you, and I am sorry for that. I never got the impression from you that you try to portray yourself as this perfect person with the perfect family. Maybe the people saying that are a little jealous......and again, that's just my opinion.

Thanks!
I actually never thought that way about myself either, I was actually surprised when someone said I try to portray my life as perfect. All I can say to that is while I'm happy with my life and I am blessed in many ways I am far from perfect and I have never seen myself that way. We ALL have our faults and issues.
If it bothers someone that I have a good DH and DD then that's not really my issue to worry about. I won't apologize for my life.........ever. I am generally a pretty happy person, I don't see anything wrong with that.

Trust me, on the whole she is a good kid but she's had her moments too.........as every kid does.
Do you remember my post about the Xmas pics with Heather??!!!  The only way to describe her that day was holy unbridled terror.

Re: Let me reword this..............
As far as the quoting and referencing of previous posts...how do you people keep track??? I don't pay attention to these boards enough to remember who posted what. I could have a disagreement with someone one day and the next be chatting and kind and agreeing with them...I just have too much going on in my life to be like "five months ago I remember you posted blah blah blah" unless you directly insulted me or my family...I just don't have the energy to keep track...it seems tiresome to do so.
I could see why people got offended bc I myself read it and felt it seemed a bit overboard as far as how bad or troublesome boys can be vs how wonderful your DD is.
I myself do refer to my son as my little monkey but I think if someone else called him that in a negative way reffering to his behavior...well, let's just say I'd definitely have a bad reaction to that.

Kristen I don't think it was your opinion people found fault with.
It was the "I thank god every day I have a girl!!! " which basically translates to "thank god I don't have boys."
Beyond rude, and sad that you think this is okay to say 
Personally you have in the past wrote comments like the before. For instance, you pretty much bashed Sesame Place and those who go there. While that may not be what you "meant" its how it comes across. And you always go back to "from my experience" but come on now!!
We have kids the same and EXTREMELY different viewpoints. I rarely agree with your posts (and I'm sure you are saying likewise) but just remember everyone has differences so don't jump so fast to comments....or at least think about it first.

She posted that earlier today, that is the only reason I remembered it. I thought it was fitting to cross reference it.

that makes sense. I wasn't singling you out...hope you don't think I was. People are also saying the OP posts alot of offensive things. I must have my head in the clouds bc I don't recognize her name as a troublemaker or drama starter...but then again like I said...I don't really keep track of those things from day to day.

Re: Let me reword this..............
It seems to me that it is more than the other post that offends people it is your general tone when you post, multiple posters have said as much. I would drop it honestly, you can't convince people NOT to be offended. As you said it is just a message board.

I'm not either of those things however, I readily admit to being completely outspoken, sarcastic, and not afraid to voice my opinion even if it's not the most popular one both on LIF and IRL. I don't have a "sheep" mentality and if I don't agree with someone or something I will say so. I am always honest about with my opinions whether it be about a place, person, or thing and I'm okay with the fact that not everyone will agree with me. We're all entitled to think how we think.
I'm also not a sweet, dainty, little flower who will blow smoke up your a$$ and say everything in just the perfect way as to not upset the entire population at large and be buddy buddy with everyone. I am more matter of fact, to the point, and usually (9 times out 10) sarcastic and biting. That's my personality. That's what people have issues with on here.
If something I say isn't said in the just the very right perfect way there are a *few* on here who flip their $hit. Plain and simple.
I am not a troublemaker nor do I go out of my way to make drama but I also won't have my opinion bullied because someone doesn't like the way I worded it which is why I will go back and forth a million times. I find it agitating to have to do so but I will defend myself and what I have to say if need be.
I sincerely apologize to anyone if they have ever been offended by how I chose to WORD something but I will ALWAYS stand by my opinions, feelings, and thoughts on whatever matter is being discussed at the time and I recognize that on LIF, just as in life, we won't always agree with each other and get along. And I am totally okay with that.

Re: Let me reword this..............
I was never offended by your comment. At first it didnt seem like the best thing to be saying. But then once people jumped on you and you clarified you were just going by kids in your own life, I dont see why people wouldnt drop it. You explained what you meant and that should have been enough.
