I'm not snarking coinin. I just realize that the mentality in her comment is part of what I think is wrong with the world ( Read more... )

Do you think the OP is Susan, or Abby?
The post started to sound like one of those math problems like, "If Abby is 20 minutes away, and Susan says she'll leave in 5 minutes, but then Susan trips over Bobby's Tickle-Me-Elmo and falls down the three steps from the living room to the front hall spraining her ankle, then has to get Bruce to move his SUV so that she can get the minivan out of the driveway, and then when she gets on the road, she is caught speeding by a cop with a radar gun, and spends an extra 10 minutes trying to talk her way out of the ticket, how many of Abby's children have peed themselves at the side of the road, and does Abby need a cup of coffee or a Valium?"

See what I mean? A little bit teal dear.

How about instead of hating on Abby (as coinin seems to be doing) or thinking that Susan is rude for expecting people to drive for 30 minutes to the party (as the OP seems to think in the original question) someone at the party just sucks it up and collects Abby and her kids?

Does that comm ever post the "hypothetical" outcomes of these scenarios?

P.S. I wouldn't add Justin Beaver as a friend. I am suspicious of anyone who can't spell quarter, and then only accounts for 3 "quaters" of what he/she/it is!

I was thinking about all of this: wondering how some of the answers would change if people knew whether the poster was Susan or Abby, mentally creating the math equation.

I could go for another cup of coffee.

(By the way, the people who do post the outcomes usually mention what the question is based on and how it turned out for their family.)
