Oh, you mean your “I’m not the one making a dozen or so snarky and sanctimonious comments…” comment was JUST a guess?
I counted to see if I’d really made a dozen or so. That seemed like a lot of snark coming from me.
You certainly have an amazing eye for estimating comments!
You made two about me piling on. That’s kind of piling on about me piling on. We’re so similar.?
*Look up the definitions for snarky and bitchy and explain the difference.
Ha ha ha, right. I’m snarky and sanctimonious, though? I actually counted our comments, and you were leading by a few until you started calling me out for being offensive-and then continued to call me out for being so differently opinioned than you.
If this ain’t no thing, just tell her. Figure out a script and give her the information.
I feel badly about lowering myself and using insults, and you’re right, I am better than that. For some reason Copa likes to pick on me. Even in the chorus of more abrasive and acidic comments, she saves her name calling for me.
?? right back at you
“Hey MB, would you consider watching our kids for a few days? Great! Do you mind if I do a quick background check on you and your bf?”
Ask first. Give someone the opportunity to decline.
If the asking is more awkward than this situation, then I’d argue you shouldn’t be asking.
Now she has explosive background information
(that actually, withheld- is potentially putting MB at risk)
And she feels compelled to share with MB and the only reason she isn’t is exactly what I’ve been saying.
I’m just saying, next time, ask first.
I’m not alone in that POV.
I didn’t tell her that she and her husband are crazy or out of her mind by doing this. I said it feels a little invasive and crossed a line.
I don’t know, I mean how often do you have to consent for a background check for yourself and your partner when you apply for a job?
It doesn’t matter, I don’t really care, I’m just pointing out my opinion.
No, you’re just being a total snarky bitch at ONLY me a dozen or so times for some reason? Skim past my comments.
* read through everything and I’m the one coming off as snarky? In a chorus of people saying the same thing, you are pinpointing me to be rude to?
And to all the “the charges are horrendous! Someone should do something!”
Okay, then, tell her what you found! Tell the gym then, too. What about the other parents? Should they know?
And also, are these charges? Or convictions? Why isn’t he in jail?
And also, what do his charges or convictions have to do with her babysitting?
There’s one reason why she is hesitant… because it’s creepy and invasive to do a pretty thorough background check on someone for a pretty slim reason.
I have personally never assumed a sitter’s partner would be part of the babysitting package, and thus far, they haven’t.
I’m arguing back at the “it’s legal and these records are on the internet.”
Just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
I think the point that the bf has nothing to do with her potentially watching the kids is pertinent. Just as I think she never asked or had a notion that she would sit her kids.
Does any of it really matter? No. But here we are, commenting in forums about any number of issues that are totally meaningless within the context of our own lives.
I mean, parents can be investigated by CPS for allowing their healthy, unabused, 8 year child to walk the dog within view from their house, but is that reasonable?
Just because it’s legal/illegal doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong.
Before the advent of the internet, you’d have to go down to your courthouse and request records to snoop through, thereby outing yourself as a creep. In a small town, that would probably get around pretty quick.
Is it really so hard to imagine and understand that people have different opinions to yours?
