So if MySpace is the Devil why do people go there looking for someone to date?! For instance, my husband works with a woman who is ALWAYS looking for a new guy on MySpace…and she’s the kind of woman who says “he hasn’t text messaged me in 20 minutes- WHY DOESN’T HE CARE ABOUT ME?!”—’tis very sad and not a little bit scary but yet so true. I have sworn I will never have a MySpace page and my husband almost got castrated when I found out he had one.
I have my page on Yuwie mostly so people can see my art. 😀 Plus my dad never calls or writes but he does get online sometimes and it’s an easy way for him to contact me or see current pics of my kids and my art. 😀

We know of a couple that met on MySpace. So far it’s a match made in hell. It’s quite funny because his friends tried to warn her about him, but she didn’t listen. It’s so easy to sit behind a keyboard and say, “Muah! muah! muah! Love ya babe!” 🙄 😆

hmmm that’s kind of why I was saying that…..I know several people that only use Myspace as a “hookup” site….it’s sad…deviant….and disgusting….
I had one when it first started up…..and I’ve tried to remove it, delete it and everything…..
I know I have blocked all myspace from my email…and everything….
yucky….

Ya gotta be careful what you post on the web. It’s out there for the world to see. That’s why I never started a blog of any type. Most of my personal ramblings are too depressing to share.
And as for your mom, despite what she read in your ‘myspace’, she’s still thinking it’s all about her (“..everyone is turned against me now..”).
😆 That’s funny, by the sounds of it your mother deserves it completely.
Myspace is interesting. I’m not there to meet people. (Though it would be nice to find some of my friends) I’d never think to use it to “connect” with others. 🙄 I don’t share anything that personal really. For all they know, I’m a ginger and white cat that needs a really good brushing. lol.
At least the way you feel is out in the open now with your mother. She probably read there what you needed to say to her face, just not as tactfully maybe as you would have put it.:)
I had a myspace originally because my kids all had one. One in college and one married plus the two in HS.
It was a good way to keep in touch with them and their friends. Also I have several nieces and nephews out of state and it’s a great way to keep up with them.
It’s like any other tool though ~ what you get depends on how you use it. I’ve made a few good friends of common interest on there but we still communicate primarily via email 😛Many people have gotten into trouble with their bosses and potential hirers etc for posting stuff on myspace and facebook and such. Unless you hide your identity you have to not post things that can get you into trouble when i made my first myspace page I used a fake name for reasons like that. Then i realized i was never going to use it for a blog or anything like that because i only go on it to talk to friends from anthropology and now here.
I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~
Engaged to a WeaselNice going, purpledoggy. 😆
I got MySpace because a couple soldiers I knew had it and used it more often than e-mail to keep in touch. Since then, I’ve only ever used it to keep up with people I already know, and all of them, with the exception of Akeyla, are in the States or deployed.
Personally, I DETEST MySpace- even just browsing it. I refuse to go to any of my friends pages. Too much of a hassle.
However, in your case, it provided you with a needed emotion. Youre pleased she read it because it offers you a feeling of deserved validation. No longer can your mother believe that it is only you that thinks poorly of her for what she had half-heartedly (if that) planned.
Ive read all about what is going on with you and this shower etc. But Ive decided not to comment because I DO have some choice comments and I wouldnt want to let them rip. But let me ask you this… is this normal for your mom to act so weirdly, or passive aggressively? Has she always been like this during events in your life or is she upset with you because of one thing (to do with the baby and anything that surrounds it such as your relationship with bf/hubby) that she disagrees with in your life?
Please do not think of this as judgment for I believe all of us can benefit from it, but has she ever sought therapy? Just reading about her she seems to either hold a lot in and it blows out sideways (passive aggressively like choosing a gosh awful but “Im sending you a message” kind of location for *your* shower- a blessed event celebrating a blessed event). Or has she been diagnosed with any kind of personality disorder? Is she jealous that your getting so much attention (in Psychology, it’s not unheard of or uncommon that mothers, step mothers or mothers in law will compete with the wife or daughter in life for attention, or simply be jealous, etc)? Was she like this to you growing up? Any choice places for your BDays, etc? Have you asked her point blank if she has a problem with the fact youre having a child or is she just upset and taking it out on you that youve made her a grandmother… a status of respect and elevation in most cultures, etc.
Sorry for so many questions but Im dumbfounded (tho interested) by your mothers behaviors towards you during this time. And, how she seems to be traveling every little alley to make you as miserable as possible during a time when you should seriously be under as little stress (& a lot of joy) as possible both for you and for the unborn baby. Stress will travel to the womb.
The way your mom acts towards you AND the way it makes you feel is directly affecting your child and will continue to do so when she is born. I think thats why several ppl have suggested you truly put your foot down with your mom before she gathers up too much more of the reins and beings to totally rule (or ruin) your life further, with an iron fist. You certainly dont need it and now bringing a child into it- she should be able to enjoy her grams. They are in the unique position to spoil… leaving parents with the fall out 🙂 But you know what I mean.
Good luck with all this as from what I know of you here, you deserve SO much better than this and Im sorry that the one person that youd expect to be supportive and over joyed at this time, is being the way she is- if Im understanding correctly. Sorry if any of this sounded like judgment or rubbed you the wrong way. Im seriously just interested in you and yours, well being.
OOPS!! 😳 🙄 Yeah, one of those was me…. sorry PD!! but she does deserve it for reading your stuff, nosey nosey!!! she sounds like she has a touch of the paranoid sczizophrenia though with the you turned everyone against me! Seriously, I’m not even in the same state, and i think it’s hilarious that she cares more about what other people think of her than she does about the crazy party arrangements. It’s sad, but funny!!
