Although many new moms can relate and may even smile in recognition, Anastasia made it clear that the point of her post wasn't to be funny but instead to send a message. "If today you are feeling overwhelmed, invisible or like you don't matter, you do. You are so important and are probably the cog that keeps everything running smoothly," she wrote. "Keep up the good work, and if no one else says it to you this week, know that you are invaluable in the work you do and your sacrifices do not go unnoticed."

The original Fakebook post is gone so I can't see the comments.
It's just another typical FFS yahoo post. Here's her conclusion:Quote

You know, I show up to my job every day and I don't expect a fucking medal. Someone doesn't have to tell me I'm doing a good job all the time.
If only Moos were so inclined.

aes- you are absolutely right! It's hardly as if they are not adored in the media AND they hold themselves up as martyred and sacred Mothers of the World--the only women who are REALLY women. And they will tell us all that many times a day! Oh, who has not heard their exhausted, but patient LOUD SIGHS--showing all of us selfish unchilded people how we should hold them in awe! After my fence-sitter sister had a chylld , due to her convenient THIRD "oops", she missed no chance to insert "since I became a MOM" into any given conversation. On the first Mother's Day after the sacred spawning, she asked me , with a straight face, if ALL of her extended family was not expected to send her M.D.s cards or give her gifts!

Psychologist David Elkind has written about Imaginary Audience concept--the idea that one's behavior or actions are the focus everyone at large. Everyone has "onstage" moments, but Imaginary Audience happens a LOT in early teen years. This lady seems to be stuck there, fretting and bitching about others' lack of action on her missing earring (WTF).

Did she ever stop to think that the people she tried to trap with her little scheme had far more pressing matters on their minds? That maybe they were tired (because Moos aren't the only ones who can be tired, contrary to what they'll tell you) and just didn't notice? That maybe they just don't have exceptional attention spans? That maybe Moo could have intentionally been wearing just one earring for some reason (like maybe one piercing closed and she didn't want the other one to do so)?
