It was brought to my attention via PM that in my responseto this post, I am hijacking the thread (about trashy behavior, go figure).
I don’t have time for an actual Pitting, what with having to waddle my fat self through the trash and into the other room to feed my screaming kids, but this is the place for disagreements with other posters, so I’m putting it here.
lindsaybluth, please demonstrate where I have said that I allow my children to scream in public.
Working on it now…used the search function only sparingly in the past, so it’s taking me awhile. No need to go off and start an entirely new thread, either, though I’m sure you were salivating at the thought of an invitation.
Okay, I just tried to search for “lorene” and “scream” and got just one thread (the one linked to), but then later when I did “lorene” and “kids” I saw thread she wasn’t even a part of that just had the word “kids” in it. What am I doing wrong? Do you have to do Word1 + Word 2?
Your claim doesn’t seem too likely to me, based on the statements in this thread about throwing water on an unruly child, especially lorene’s posts, which seem to applaud the water thrower and express no sympathy for the parents of the wild child:
I suppose it’s possible that somewhere else, lorene did a complete 180 and described letting children scream in public, but I sure can’t find that post and it runs counter to the posts I did find.
I’m glad you started this thread. I’ve always thought that lindsaybluth is an obnoxious, sanctimonious asshole who privileges her shitty opinions as being beyond reproach or correction. Good luck getting her to rescind or back up her ignorant bullshit.
Well, I did just use Google to try to find this mysterious “lorene lets her kids scream for fun and profit” post, and after five minutes, which is the absolute maximum I am willing to spend on this crap, I didn’t turn anything up. Now waiting anxiously to find out whether this will turn out to be “lindsay was totally thinking of another poster,” “lindsay was totally making shit up,” or “lindsay slinks out of the thread hoping everyone will forget about it”.
If it’s going to turn into “lindsay pulls a freakfreely-style flameout,” though, can you wait until Friday? Because I don’t have anything scheduled on Friday so that would really work better for my schedule.
Me too, with the same result. Except that I’ve now read quite a few posts about lorene’s parenting style and she seems like a good and sensible mom to me.
Unless I’m very much mistaken, the answer is this. For some reason this rang a bell for me, and I believe she might be referring to this post:
From this thread - for some reason I can’t seem to link directly to that post, but it’s number 340.
Now, I could be wrong, but it seems like a match to me, and she’s got the wrong person. I’d like to know for sure but I doubt she’ll come by this thread.
FTR, I find her intensely sanctimonious and smug, and inordinately proud of her actually quite boring and mundane family. I also think that, while is nothing wrong with using the descriptor ‘obese’ when appropriate, her mentioning it *twice *was just meant as an insult, clearly because obese people are automatically trashy in her mind. None the less, I would apologize if it does turn out that I’m on the wrong track.
lindsay, I wasn’t salivating at the thought of Pitting you, but you and I have butted heads in enough threads to acknowledge that we don’t like one another.
I felt that it was humorous that she mentioned a part of town where “people fancy themselves better than others” and then went on to use words like obese and Medicaid trainwreck as descriptors that did not add anything to the story.
