Careful what you crap on about

People think that they can say anything on the internet while hiding behind their keyboard.

I’m sure you’ve heard this said before, many times. But it usually refers to people being abusive and flaming and the sort.

What irks me are the people who make themselves bigger and better than they are in real life. They make their lives sound perfect, their house 3 times bigger than what it is, their income triple or quadruple than what it is, etc etc etc.

They are only lying to themselves. People don’t care if you are renting your home, why pretend that you own it? People don’t care how much money you make….unless of course, you’re in the business of showing them how to make that sort of income.

I am who I am. We rent our home. It is a small home. I am a stay at home mum. My husband works part time due to a back injury he had a few years ago. We’re not rich but we are comfortable. I don’t feel the need to make you all think that each of my children have their own bedroom in our 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 3 storey home in the country *drools* I don’t feel the need to make you all think that my kids are perfect and the best-mannered children. I don’t feel the need to make you all think that my marriage to DH is always hunky-dory (hehe, always wanted to use that word in a post!)

I don’t use a “skinny photo” as my current avatar. I don’t pretend my face has no wrinkles or acne.

Stop the bullshit, people! I don’t care what you look like, how much money you have or how much you paid for your sofa.

And if you do still find that you need to create this fairytale life online, then you shouldn’t be surprised when people DON’T CARE in real life.
