I love this website (in case you haven't notice) and I often talk about it with my family and friends, and even my husband, which at the begging tried to fight back, to late now, he is stuck!!
I have notice that lately he doesn't even wait for me to tell him but he actually start asking me "So what is going on in Mapapedia?" hahaha.
Of course sometimes it back fires him and he wishes he never would had ask, like when I read about an immature husband and I would be like: "Don't you even think about it" or if we have a conversation and we don't agree we joke "What do Mamapedia would said" but there are other that makes us think, like the mom that found that her son had drugs in her room, I ask my husband what would he do and he said he would scream at her and that start us in a compensation of what if...
Is my husband the only one that wanted or not has become another Mamapedia user?
Lol, SM - I avoid telling him the ones where you guys said you have more sex then we do and the one with the wife putting notes in her husband lunch bag (I think is cute but is no way i will let him know, lol)
he doesn't have an account but I know deep inside he wishes, he ones I was soo into answer the post that he actually told me he was about to sign in to tell me that we need to go NOW. lol.
Darn it Mallory, you had a point there....If you excuse me I need to go so some "editing" asap, lol.
I usually only share teh really outrangous or despicable things so he thinks everyone on here is nuts.
My husband thinks this is the LIfetime Network for computers, ie: husband bashing and drama. I have to admit, I agree with him. He can't understand why I pay attention to anything on this site, since I am pretty much opposite of most women. Sometimes I question that myself, but for some reason, I just do. it's so darned addicting, lol!
I think like SM, I only discuss the really out there posts with him, so he naturally he think you're all crazy wretches and I'm the only sane nice wife/mother in the world!!
TEHEHEHE!!
:)
Like you said some things get you thinking. I too have recently started using this site and I love it too! Im telling everybody how helpfull it is,and how you help others. I love answering questions and giving my 2 cents worth it fun! If he loves you he,ll let you have this. Why are guys so jealous of us having any fun??? Thats just crazy. I used to know someone who called the physics and would ask if his girlfreind was cheating on them. Just think of all the topics you could tell him about and get your own man to give you advice on you own relationship without him knowing you want his feedback about the 2 of you. Wow now thats entertainment!!! Mesg me anytime.
My husband mamapedia's with me. LOL
Not going to say that my husband would actually like to be a Mamapedia member, but we do discuss a lot of what I read on here. Great way to play - "what would we do" game. I definately bring up at least one thing about it every day. We've had some really good discussions about it.
No, but i tell him what some of the crazy husbands are up to that i read about on here.....A few times i caught him reading some of it, because i left it up on the browser. I dont mind though, i hide nothing and it was innocent.
This site is sooooo much better than any soap. I read this stuff to him and a couple of friends.
As much as I drive him nuts with this, I know he loves all the nut-job questions. I like it because it makes me feel so SANE.
There are some people with some serious/horrible lives and my heart aches for them. THEN there's the idiots, clueless ones AND ones that can't spell and I have NO IDEA what they're talking about.
all the time...i will read him posts and my answers to make sure i wasnt out of line..or whatever. my kiddos are too. He isnt a user himself. has had me posted a few for him...well he says for us...i didnt need answers to them. he need other moms out there outher then me to see which side he should take...more then once. I love this site and i am glad that it is here!!
No-but he makes fun of me. He thinks I spend way too much time procrastinating on here-which is true!
I don't tell a single friend or family member either-the last thing I want is for them to possibly see what I might write about them!
Mine makes fun of me and points out that no guy would be caught dead on a "papapedia" site. He also hopes I don't ask super-serious questions since you never know who anyone really is replying. :)
I really don't take it super-seriously for myself, though, but do take other people's questions and concerns seriously. If I'm really in a bind about something, I usually talk to my husband first anyway.
Yes I share some of what I receive... :)
LOL! That's cute your hubby asks. I tell my guy this and that about what goes on on here, and he knows I've asked questions about him (I usually show him the responses). My man wouldn't want to be on here asking/answering questions, but he's a real busy-body as far as what goes on, HAHA!! Tell your hubs to sign up, I don't mind. I like getting guys opinions too!! A little peek into the male's brain, so to speak ;)
My husband makes fun of me sometimes or says 'you're on there again!'. but he always listen to what is happening on here and sometimes has comments back.
haha! That's awesome! No, my husband could not care less. I did copy & paste a post one time into an email that I wrote to him, and the post happened to be about a misbehaving husband. There were lots of responses relevant to a situation that he and I were dealing with at the time so I opted to share it with him. His immediate reaction was "That poor guy! He's so judged right now, and he doesn't even know!" However, a lot of the responses really helped him see behaviors in himself that maybe I was less able to point out. He says he would rather not see what I talk about on here, and has actually expressed gratitude that I have a place to seek answers or to seek guidance for forming my own answers.
Funny post.
My hubby works from home and my computer is in his office.
So when our son is in bed I go on the computer and he is usually in the office still working. I'd be on here, chatting to hubby and reading some stuff that comes up,usually the quirky,funny or disturbing posts.
He knows that this site is my fun,social outlet as my friends live far from here.
B. k
My boyfriend teases me every night. 'So whose problems did you solve on mamapedia tonight?'. When we have a question about our son, he teases 'Oh, you better go post a question on mamapedia.'. He is only slightly stunned when he realizes that I already did. Lol.
He gets a little annoyed with all the 'What ifs' I ask because of this site, but he knows how to make me shut up ;)
ditto first responder s.m.
Oh yes, we share a lot of what is on here.. Sometimes he gives me his perspective and I give him credit on here saying, "my husband said" "or thinks", "or remembers". because he is a very thoughtful person.
He sees the page and says "Oh lord, who is needing help now" Sometimes he hears me talking to the computer, because I am so upset about a post.. He says "Uh oh, watch out, she is about to answer.."
Also I have sent a copy of a post to my Mama friends that are amazing teachers. One friend is a Criminal defense attorney another is an OBGYN..They help me give advice or a totally different perspective based on their experiences.
Our daughter also likes when I share some of these posts. She is studying Psychology, so she will give me her perspective or let me know what she has learned about a subject.. She has sometimes even spoken in her classes with the class about some of the problems on here.
Sometimes a post will break my heart and I will share it and my husband. We talk about how fortunate we are..
