That was innappropriate. monicatholic was simply giving her thoughts on the whole thing. She did not, once, make herself out to be “holier than thou”.My, my, aren’t we holier than the Duggars?
Gossip threads are so sad.

I love the Jon & Kate show. I love how they are so REAL. They appear just like any other family, even with all of those kids. I love how they’re not afraid to bicker in the trenches of family life, instead of hiding it for the cameras and making it out like their some kind of “perfect” family.I didn’t read every response. It reminds me of a show on TLC perhaps…“Jon and Kate plus 8” about a couple with a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. All I can say is “not for me” . The show was interesting. However the one thing I didn’t like was the fact that Kate wanted a tummy tuck to “look nice for Jon” It just so happened a NY plastic surgeon’s wife was watching the show…long story …short version. She got her tummy tuck and a makeover to “look nice for Jon” I’d like a tummy tuck too. Suppose I can get one??
Monica, I applaud you outspokenness. Stick to your guns. You weren’t saying anything I bet more than a few of us wish we had said…me included. Funny thing…when a woman speaks her mind she is labeled as something less than desirable. When a man does, he is high fived and everything. Don’t you change and have a Merry Christmas.

That’s what I was thinking re: the tummy tuck. I can’t blame her one bit- how is that any different from a formerly morbidly obese person wanting to get rid of the excess skin folds?I love the Jon & Kate show. I love how they are so REAL. They appear just like any other family, even with all of those kids. I love how they’re not afraid to bicker in the trenches of family life, instead of hiding it for the cameras and making it out like their some kind of “perfect” family.
And I can’t really blame her for wanting a tummy tuck. After carrying 6 babies in my belly, I would jump at the chance for somebody to fix it for free. That’s a lot of skin left-over.
No, you know what’s rude? Posting a thread dedicated to nitpicking apart the way some lady, whom you’ve never met, chooses to live her family life.
Perhaps your original inclination not to post would’ve been the more prudent one.
Huh? Where did that even come from? That was just bizarre, no offense…
Since many of the women on here are the mothers of large families, it would make sense that a large family that is famous for their size would be discussed.
Well goodness, if people can’t take a something like Ronnette’s comment maybe they should also feel free not to post in the thread and unsubscribe from it too, after all they place a comment out in the thread on exhibition in this public forum. Please a little charity.
**Maybe you should also consider prudence when you post. My intent was to support a fellow Catholic/woman/mom in stating her opinion. She is a homeschooling mom of ten who probably has the most right to comment on other large families because she is living that reality. I saw nothing rude in her post. But I do find some of your posts rude and pointless…like you just have to tear someone else down. . . Perhaps a little prayer before you put fingers to keyboard may help?
So, because many of you have tons of kids, you’re excused for being total witches towards someone else who happens to have that in common with you? Nice logic.
You are truly one of the most utterly self-righteous people I have ever met, Internet or real-life.
)…Rock on.
Excuse me?So, because many of you have tons of kids, you’re excused for being total witches towards someone else who happens to have that in common with you? Nice logic.
Because they’re public figures, that also excuses you for being utter witches toward the woman, because it’s somehow different than snarking about your next-door neighbor?
I have no intention of quitting the thread. Why don’t you?
P.S. Your screenname, “PatienceAndLove”, just screams irony.
You are truly one of the most utterly self-righteous people I have ever met, Internet or real-life.
oh well…
As far as “uncharitableness” (cool new word coinage, there
spell check didn’t highlight it so I doubt it’s my word
You should talk, known to criticize the mentally ill on some posts
I have never criticized the mentally ill!
, and write whole new threads ranting your head off about how your neighbors are traumatizing your baby by just trick-or-treating on Halloween night and making a little noise…

until you walk a day in my shoes (and a night with my DD) I don’t think it is your place to talk. I made it very clear that I wanted to do what was best for my baby AND be nice to the neighbors…which i did by taking the very HELPFUL suggestion of putting a bowl of candy out so they could help themselves. Maybe you should try to be more helpful with your posts? Talk about being a witch… **
ov vey, talk about someone who needs something better to do…
This place is the cliquiest little coffee klatch of Stepford Wives I’ve ever seen. Sad!
**Yet you just can’t seem to find anything better to do…that’s sad. I come here because I like it. I get advice, opinions, support, prayers, new ideas, and the occassion to help others with my experiences. If you hate it so much why bother? Talk about someone who needs something better to do…

Nice one, Feanie Beanie- reported for namecalling!
You are continuing to be rude. I am sorry that you feel the need to act the way you are, and I will pray for you.
