NOT putting a name to your comments is gutless and most of all lacks credibility, in fact it comes across as quite puerile.<BR/>And no I am not some great adoring fan of yummy, just an occasional reader who doesn't always agree with what she says. But hey, if it offended me as much as it does anon DON'T F**KING READ IT. This is a free world go and read some erudite blog to make yourself feel better.<BR/>And FYI I am married to a OBGYN and most doctors are very driven people who tend to be workaholics and not overworked because their wives want more designer clothes etc LOL, they are overworked because of the nature of their job!<BR/>PS I have stayed home and my girls are now 17 and 19 and I believe they are such wonderful people because I was there for them 24/7, plus I volunteered when they were at school. I am grateful I was able to do this and yes I miss working but when I look at my girls I am glad.kikiiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712257149486470156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-39453777401947423002009-04-06T17:00:00.000-04:002009-04-06T17:00:00.000-04:00YM..

Yum...I think your schedule with lm sounds lovely and I can only hope to be so lucky as to have a similar day once my husband and I have kids in the next year or so. <BR/><BR/>Anon clearly has some issues she needs to work through and is trying to drag down everyone around her in the meanwhile. I would also have to say that some two of my smartest friends at college wanted to be prosecutors years before they stepped into law school. It had been a dream for both of them. I find anon's comments completely ridiculous since they could have had their choice of jobs, but they chose their dream of working for their respective ad's.<BR/><BR/>Yum- you sound like a wonderful mom.

She lives well and happily. She's raising her family. She can live luxuriously, with fancy clothes and expensive gym memberships: why not? yes, she uses her husband's money. so what? she is healthy and happy and that's what matters. She does seem a bit superficial on this blog. Well, why? because she writes about clothing and shoes and material goods. she never talks about anything that's going in the world or expresses any particularly deep or intruiging thoughts. true. i get that. <BR/><BR/>but it's not to say that she doesn't have them. <BR/><BR/>her profile description reads very clearly: this is a blog about being a 'yummy mummy'- you got it, expensive gym memebership, days home with her adorable son, lattes, and all. that's what this blog is about and people who are interested in that kind of life style read about it. why not? it's readable and engaging. it's fun reading. it doesn't make me want to tear my hair out pondering the meaning of life. it's nice to read about a happy boston mom who is raising a family and enjoying her time living in this world. we aren't here for long. what is yum to do but enjoy the life she is living? but make lasting bonds with people she cares about? seriously? maybe she could think outside her routine and choose to devote some time to a worthy cause. I agree. but perhaps she has and simply doesn't post about it, because this blog is about, as her profile states, being a typical yummy mummy. we can't assume she's 1 dimensional just because that's whats portrayed here. <BR/><BR/>she is happy and were all here to do the best we can. she spread positivity to her fellow bloggers and friends and shows them support. She should be commended for this.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-81639846849037992592009-04-02T21:28:00.000-04:002009-04-02T21:28:00.000-04:00YM you rock!

I feel bad.<BR/><BR/>But it is out there for public consumption and presumably at some point, Yum will want to make a new friend or get a job or something and the fact that so many people are thinking this about her will precede her. Do I think it is worth being so mean? Of course not. She is just trying to live her life. I am not sure why Anon felt the need to be so mean. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it is pretty valuable reality check. You may love Yum. I am sure a few people do. But I am also sure--especially in Boston, a pretty old school, hide your money type of city--Yum's blog would not help her cause. I am trying to be helpful. <BR/><BR/>But I will just shut up now because clearly this has gone too far and is getting ridiculous.

For all the reasons I said. It comes across as shallow, vain and just totally trite. That said, you have a right to live your life however you want. And you are brave to put yourself out there. I applaud the effort even if I find the execution sadly lacking.<BR/><BR/>I do suspect that in real life you are not as shallow as you come across here. At least I hope you aren't. Maybe this is a persona? An online identity? I hope that is the case. But I also hope that this will be a bit of a wake up call to you as to how you come across. <BR/><BR/>I am sure that you do not mean to, but you alienate people and clearly TRY to make them jealous. And then you wonder why so many people react badly. Don't feel too bad about all this.

I figured I would de-lurk and let you know that your blog is delightful. I came across it because I was looking for blogs to read to remind me of MA since I've moved away. (Sorry for not de-lurking on your blog yet Missus!) You are clearly a wonderful mother and it's shameful that somebody would post on the INTERNET that your husband is cheating on you. It also speaks volumes that somebody would say that their first thought when seeing your blog was that you are unattractive. Are we in high school??? Not only are you NOT unatractive, but it's shallow that a grown woman who is apparently a mother is judging you solely on that basis. What would she think if somebody made a snap-judgement on her child based upon his or her's looks. <BR/><BR/>Keeping my fingers crossed for you here in Chicago that your able to conceive your second bundle of joy soon. I think you're very brave for posting about such a delicate and personal topic.Chitown Galnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-78613388246670571202009-04-02T16:15:00.000-04:002009-04-02T16:15:00.000-04:00Elevate Yourselves Ladys-Rise AboveWe are in a res...Elevate Yourselves Ladys-Rise Above<BR/>We are in a resession..The global economy is collapsing and before you know it we will all be living in tent city.

These ridiculous "Anonymous"...Absolutely, pathetic. These ridiculous "Anonymous" bloggers who leave sad, mean comments. <BR/><BR/>Do you honestly have nothing better to do all day? Because clearly as you have outlined to all of us you are very important working women. Ones who couldn't possibly be bothered with such trivial things such as blogging and shoe shopping. So it's inconceivable to me that you would have so much time on your hands to leave nasty comments on a nice woman's blog. <BR/><BR/>I think being a mother is one of the most important jobs a person can have and I do apologize if you don't understand the benefits of this if "anon's" mother wasn't at home to take care of him or her when they were of such a young age. Perhaps if you're mother had stayed at home you would have better manners than to leave such comments on someone's blog. <BR/><BR/>Yes I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion but when does an opinion turn to straight bashing. Sometimes it is so PATHETIC to see late 20s and early 30s women acting so much like high school cliques. Jealousy, bitterness and rage are things of our teen years. <BR/><BR/>Grow up "anon" and have some class. That is something you are definitely lacking unlike Frogger, The Missus, or Yum who from what I have seen and read on their delightful blogs all have. <BR/><BR/>Who are you to judge what people do with their days? I hope that I should be as privileged as Yum when I am married and have children of my own I will have days just like Yum. Until then I will take my unemployed status and successful boyfriend and enjoy my life one day at a time, "taking it easy" as the Missus would say. <BR/><BR/>Stacie JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-53255966747331049792009-04-02T15:59:00.000-04:002009-04-02T15:59:00.000-04:00I have neglected my blog for the past month- but w...I have neglected my blog for the past month- but will occasionally check in to see what others are up to or have to say...
