On that other place before I left, some guy posted a pic of him and his brand new fiance just to tell the world he proposed to her. I replied with something like “You look like a really great couple, I hope you’re happy together” and the first response was a downvote. Made me laugh.
Someone was telling a story in a parenting community about their kid and how they felt accomplished over something that had happened that day.
Someone else commented that the guy should stop posting because “no one cares about your main character syndrome”.
I think the flaw here is seeking validation from anonymous strangers…?
Yeah so? Sometimes parents don’t have the support they need and want that validation to motivate them. They’re exhausted & worn out. Being a parent really wears at you sometimes.
Their crime is needing a little validation? I’ve seen worse things on the internet.
Literally asking for downvotes.
By the way, can I have some?
