Now MWOP Bullies Babies?

UPDATE*  LilBit03187 is making fun of the looks of a sick child!  Are these women even human?  I'm really sick in my stomach reading this.  LilBit also supplied another comment  with hints of the mother's blog (I'm not posting it because you would find it) so others at MWOP can go see just what she is talking about.   Yelp..another one headed straight for hell!

What is wrong with these women?

No tongue lashing from me, either. Been there myself! There's a certain blog I follow, & while the child in question does have medical issues, they're not the kind that would necessarily affect facial appearance. The child just is not at all cute, IMO. I felt bad thinking that for a good while, too, but I think we've all been there.

Are they bored and lonely and have nothing better to do with their time?

When did it become acceptable to make fun of babies? 

Hopped The Fence started this conversation on MWOP making fun of another bloggers baby.  Hey Hopped The Fence, do you have any children?  How about you post a few pictures and let's see what people would have to say about your children.  I wonder how you would feel?  You even gave all the information for others to find this woman's blog.  What are you jealous of Erin too?  It's not enough for you to make fun of Mckmama and her children?  Yes, you are going to hell!  This is one of the lowest things I have ever seen on Mwop and I have seen some bad stuff.

I have a confession to make, and I have a feeling it's not going to be a very popular or well received one. But I just have to know...am I the only one who's ever felt this way?
I read a blog. It's a lovely blog. But the woman's baby (1 year old) is [how should I say this] just not very easy on the eyes and I cringe every time I see him. I know. Y'all probably have me going straight to Hell for feeling that way and sharing it, but I just have the strongest reaction when I see his pictures and I'm wondering why. He's a sweet baby. All babies are sweet. And precious. And cuddly. But this one is just...I don't know. I should probably stop there. I do know this: nothing is "wrong" with the child, so before anyone starts saying he may have this or that, no he does not.
I'm fully prepared for a lashing, especially from the holier-than-thous that show up just for that purpose. But to everyone else -- have you ever had such a strong reaction to a baby's appearance before? Normally, I'm just smitten by little ones.
::::prepared for my tongue lashing of "You're going to Hell you sick, cruel, piece of shit woman for saying such a thing about babies." ::::

I was really surprised by my initial reaction when he was born (year ago). But I noticed that every time I'd visit the blog, I'd rush to scroll past his pictures. And when that's all there are, I just close it down. It's the wierdest reaction. I wish I didn't feel that way, but I'm more baffled that I do.

Now SNORT had to add her thoughts on the topic.  Hey SNORT, or is it Mrs Jackson?  Since I know who you are,  how about I find out who your friend is with the red headed kid that looks like a monkey.  I think she may like to know what you think of her child.  Some friend you are.

Whether or not people will admit it, I believe alot alot of people feel that way about some children but won't own up to it because we are conditioned to believe that all kids are beautiful, precious, little miracles. That said, I have always thought that my dear friend's baby looks like a monkey with red hair. I get weirded out looking at the daughter of one of my old high school boyfriends. And I really like what GlassyGirl said below:  every person has visual likes/dislikes; we're human

Of course Still Have My Golden Ticket had to chime in also.  I wonder WHY you didn't tell your friend her babies head had finally caught up to her body?  I'll bet it's cause you know your friend would have told you to go straight to hell.  Probably would have told your other friends what you said and before you know it you would not be included in the circle anymore.

I caught myself the other day before saying to a friend, "your daughter has finally grown into her head". I mean, it was a ten pound baby and she was CUTE but her head was ridiculously large. I had the comment typed in under the picture and then thought... hmmm... she might not take this as a kind comment... so I didn't post it.

Now Hopped The Fence wasn't  done yet.  Making fun of a blogger wasn't enough, let's move on to personal friends.  Calling a friends child Frankenstein!  Wow..I'm so sad for you!

Thank God! One of my dearest friends has three children. Her oldest, a son, looks like Frankenstein. I shit you not. Every time I see him, I can't get the thought out of my head. Sweetest kid, polite, great student...just didn't get the good looks.

Now What Up White Dog didn't want everyone getting "One Up" on her so she had to add to this disgusting conversation.  A bizarro looking baby?  Who actually writes stuff like this and thinks it is OK?

Not all babies are cute. We had an acquaintance that had a bizarro looking baby. He started to get cute around 1 year old, but man for a whole there, he was a "now that's a baby!" for sure. So no, no wringing here. Just honesty. :) NSS All babies are sweet and all babies deserve for their parents to think they're beautiful.

This is the comment with Hopped The Fence giving all the haters the info to find the blogger.  I put an X over the info so no one can find this blogger from me.

It's about a XXXXX who has XXXX eyes. I think he might take after his father; I have a similar reaction when I see his pic posted.

I'm bringing this up for more than one reason.

First, it is WRONG to make fun of children and innocent babies.

Second, this is to show the hate these ladies at MWOP have.  No one is  speaking up and saying, hey guys this is wrong.  No one saying these are children..stop this now! 

Well I'm speaking up and it is wrong!

Hopped The Fence we are waiting for all the pictures of your children.

ALL children are beautiful!  Get the hate out of your eyes and you could see that.

Privacy and Blogging

I've decided to go ahead and post about this topic of Audrey.

I am supplying a link that prevents her from getting paid for the ads on her blog.  If you feel the need to read the entire story she has posted please at least do so with this link which makes you anon and also blocks her ads. 

***DISCLAIMER*** The link has been removed.  If you would like to read the entire story type in proxify and this will bring up a site that will allow you to type in the blog link and not allow her to make money and you will be anon.  Now I have removed the link so the valid reason for this post can be discussed without others deflecting away from the topic.  No link so now what do you have to say about the behavior of this mother?

It does concern me that so many feel the need to tell all their private moments on the web.  I see it all the time, not just on Mwop but at many other blogs.  I see it in the comments sometimes and yes many times these people link right back to their personal blogs.  With a little looking around you can figure out who they are IRL. 

What has happened to our society?  Is there nothing that is private anymore?  When did strangers on the internet become the norm for sharing your secrets and personal moments in life?  So many claim that a certain blogger is an attention whore, yet the same people are stepping over each other to see who can post the most tragic story?  Do these people not have friends (real friends) or family that they can confide in?  Do they spend all their time so plugged in to social networks that they really have no real friends?  I'm beginning to wonder if this may not be the case.

I believe (notice I said I) that Audrey should remove all this personal information about her minor child from the internet now.  This is not Audrey's story to share.  If this was being investigated by CPS or the court system the minor child's identity would be protected.  Why is this mother not protecting her daughter? 

I've come across Audrey more than once trying to get attention for her blog.  None of this surprises me about her.  Anyone who has come across Audrey on the web knows Audrey has no boundaries.  I'll not go in great detail about what I already know about her from her putting it all on the web, let's just say history tends to repeat itself.  Over and over, round and round and some things never change!

Now Audrey claims to be a child of a lawyer?   So why are you asking for the help of strangers on the internet?  Isn't your mother an attorney?  Call the grandmother of your child and have her give you direction.  

Now about Audrey and her own personal bankruptcy or is it 2?  I would think Anja would investigate since Audrey is now claiming to only make $15 from her blog ads.  I have ads on my personal blog and  when it first started out I made more than $15 the first month.  Since Mwop has allowed Audrey to market her blog on the website they claim is a "Watch Dog" website and not a bully or hater blog, they have a moral obligation to check this out.  I do recall their was plenty of interest in the bankruptcy of Alli Worthington?  Oh wait, Alli was associated with Mckmama so was this why there was interest in Alli and her bankruptcy?  Sure sounds like it!

I agree with the  comments about how  many have stood up and told Audrey they think she is wrong.  The problem I have is Anja has said nothing!!!!  Anja and her silence about this makes me think she has no problem with Audrey exploiting her daughter and the talk of Mwop being about exposing lies and protecting the children is all a big pile of S^%$T!!!!  At least own it, you don't like Mckmama and all the hate has nothing to do with right and wrong!

Dooce Wins Against The Bully GOMI

Good for Dooce for standing up to Get Off My Internets blog which is written by Alice Walker Wright.

I read the comments at GOMI and some are calling Dooce a bully?  Really, some think defending an untruth written about you is bullying?  Sorry but this is not a bully, she is a person with conviction who stands up for what she believes in. 

This is a perfect example of what I am always talking about in terms of the HATE getting in the way for many to think and speak in a logical way about things.  Just like MWOP is to Mckmama, GOMI is to Dooce.  They are blinded by HATE and jealousy and cannot see how wrong GOMI was to try and paint Dooce as a liar.  Who cares if Dooce takes a break from blogging?  I'm sure considering the drama in her personal life right now a break would be welcoming for her.  Even if she said she was taking a break and decided to go "SOMEPLACE" still doesn't make her a liar.  She took a break from blogging..she didn't say, I'm taking a break from doing anything and I am going to sit at home and do nothing.  It's because of the HATE they have for her they are always looking for a way to call her a liar or call her out on something.  Same with MWOP, always picking everything apart.  That is bullying!

Good job Dooce for stepping up and telling the bully GOMI that it is not OK to call people liars and write things that are untrue.  Alice Walker Wright has now removed the post from Get Off My Internets due to a request from Dooce and her attorney.  It's not OK to be a bully GOMI!

Bullying

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.^[2][3] The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The UK currently has no legal definition of bullying,^[4] while some U.S. states have laws against it.^[5]
Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex bullying in which the bully may have one or more 'lieutenants' who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer abuse.^[6] Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.
Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push factor in migration. Bullying can exist between social groups, social classes, and even between countries (see jingoism). In fact, on an international scale, perceived or real imbalances of power between nations, in both economic systems and in treaty systems, are often cited as some of the primary causes of both World War I and World War II.^{[7][8] source wikipedia}

To Judge or Not To Judge

Do you think you have the right to pass judgement on how someone spends their money?

If you do feel you have the right, does this mean you are OK with someone telling you how to spend your money?

Someone from Mwop commented in the last post that they had filed bankruptcy but not because they had done what Mckmama did.  How does anyone know exactly what she spent her money on and why is that any blog readers business?  The Mwop commenter who filed bankruptcy, how would you feel if every penny you spent for the rest of your life was judged? 

I am not debating the right or wrong of Mckmama and her actions over the years.  I agree that she has made some bad decisions and has exploited her sick son for blog clicks.  The thing I take issue with is people feeling they are entitled to be judge and jury about her finances.  If Mckmama decides to flush her money down the toilet is none of my business.  Just like what Anja or anyone else does with their money is none of my business.  Mckmama being a blogger doesn't give me the right to tell her how to spend her money, just like anyone else in the public eye filing bankruptcy owes me no explanation as to how they spend their money. 

This is America, the land of the free.  Just because you may not agree with how she spends..we live in a country that allows us the freedom to spend our money how we like.  Does this mean she is spending wisely?  Maybe not, but again it is not our right to judge.  The liberty to be free is a liberty that we all have.  Each of us has the freedom to spend our money how ever we like and no one can tell us what we must do.  What you spend your money on may seem wasteful to one person..but they have no right to tell you what to do.  This is the beauty of our country and that same liberty is given to Mckmama.  Doesn't matter if you like her or not.  That should not even be a factor in this, but it is for so many.   An example is a Mwop commenter said she is receiving state insurance, food stamps and other government resources because her husband doesn't make much money.  Now what if everyone said wait one minute..your husband could get another job and why aren't you working?  Why are you expecting another baby when you are already using government services?  See how judgmental that sounds.  How is it any ones right to tell this Mwop commenter that she shouldn't be having another baby?  Although it appears the Mwop commenter is abusing the system and sounds like they are not very responsible, doesn't mean anyone has the right to judge.  Yet it is OK to judge Mckmama?

Don't even get me started on the name calling.  Seriously calling her mother names makes you a bunch of bullies.  How does what she looks like have anything to do with calling her out on deception?  It doesn't..all it does is prove time and time again that Mwop is filled with many ladies who are nothing more than bullies.  How about posting your own picture online and let's see how many names people can call you?  I've seen many of these ladies pictures and believe me..they are name calling because they themselves have been called ugly names.  When someone called you fat, ugly and manly how did that make you feel?  How about that horrible hair you have and don't even get me started on the nose.  Now the acne that is a whole different topic!  You ladies know who I am talking about..yes you.  Doesn't feel good does it?   Think about it..you are doing the same thing and if you are mothers what kind of example are you setting for your own children?  If you are a mother and you are telling your own child to be nice and use nice words you should practice what you preach.  This makes you a hypocrite and not a good role model for your own children if you don't do what you say they should do.

Once again, I agree Mckmama has  preyed on her readers for clicks, used her sick child for clicks and gifts and not managed money in the manner in which I would.  I don't disagree with any of this..what I disagree with is the extent that people have gone to  in thinking they can be judge and jury and the bullying. 

Stepping back and looking at how involved you have become in this can help many to see that maybe they are over involved.  If Mwop posters had to comment using their REAL NAMES I promise you the hate and nasty comments would stop.  The judging would stop and it would hold people accountable.  Anja you could moderate comments and no longer allow the nasty bullying if you really wanted your site to be credible.  Instead you allow the hate to breed and once her bankruptcy is discharged you will have a shit storm on your hands.  We all know what happened with Mwop #1 and the Shaun  death threats and I see this being right around the corner.  HATE  breeds HATE and Mwop is full of HATE!!

Happy Easter

I've taken this season of Lent to step away from blogging.

It has felt wonderful to not read all the back and forth and to actually spend my time doing other fun things.

Stepping away for an extended period of time has allowed me to get totally unpacked, decorate and prepare for a large gathering at my house this weekend.  Family is on the way for a fun filled 4 day weekend.  Easter baskets are made and eggs are waiting for 4 little girls to color them all the beautiful colors of the rainbow.  Don't think for one minute I will not be right in the middle of this fun adventure and I will probably still be dying them long after they are bored with it all!  Can't wait for Easter Egg hunts and the looks on their faces on Easter morning after the Easter bunny has passed.  We will also practice our faith and celebrate the true meaning of Easter and reflect on how grateful we are.

I hope each of you can spend time with the ones you love most in this world.  Celebrate family and friends even if you choose not to celebrate Easter.

I'll be back on Monday and back to blogging.  I've got some things to say but I promised myself I wouldn't comment until after Lent.  So until then...have a good one!

New Post

Just wanted to let everyone know I had to put the blog back on moderation.

I'm still checking on some other opinions for commenting and I will let everyone know once I make a decision.

Right now the attention seems to be focused on JM and her new diet affiliation.  Everything I have seen written by JM has said "Check With Your Dr" so I'm not sure what all the drama is about. 

I still believe that it will never matter what she does for some, fault and drama will follow what ever JM does.  Maybe this is why she no longer cares since it will be picked apart anyway? 

Blogging is her business, just like Dooce, Kelle Hampton and many others.  Fault, exploitation and embellishment can be found in ALL bloggers, that is if you look objectively.  It's a business, just like reality television is a business.  How you take it is up to you.  I've seen Kelle Hampton post pictures and say things like "we went to the woods today to have a tea party" but yet in the next breath she states they went to the beach?  I could pick her apart and say she is a lying liar, but in reality I look at it as she may have written the post to cover a few different days.  One day they probably did have a tea party in the woods and maybe the next day they went to the beach.  I don't look at that as wordsmithing or lying.  Again, with JM fault will always be found by many.

I can truthfully say I have seen massive change for the better with JM.  The recent drama about the pictures of her children and the butt crack were uncalled for.  Anyone who is finding fault with that is not being fair. 

Just my humble opinion.
