Here's my SiWTBU/vent: I hate when I call a doctor's office and the person who answers the phone makes me repeat my problem/question 3 times then tells me no one is around who can help me and to call back in an hour. It annoys me at work but when I'm calling as a patient it's even worse. Why should I have to call back? You are a secretary take a freaking note and have someone call me back. Also if you know you can't help me, don't make me spell my last name and give you all the info that I assumed you were writing down!

That is frustrating somethingcleverer, Along those lines, I hate when we call the after hours line at our Pedi and they don't have any openings to schedule - they are limited in the number of appts they can schedule overnight, so we sometimes have to call back at opening the next day and talk to the receptionist to get an apt. Invariably the overnight triage nurse will tell us "We have all the intake info documented, so you'll just need to call first thing in am and get a time slot". NOPE. Every single time we call we have to go through all eleventy million questions again before they will schedule, even when we tell them "the overnight nurse documented all of this last night". UUGGGHHH
SIWTBU - so our favorite former bumpie seemed to somewhat apologize for her criticism of working mothers. Did anyone else see that. It was like last weekend.

I did see that! Honestly it was big of her to do so, I thought it was a nice gesture

If it had actually been sincere/showed an understanding that some women choose to work rather than having to work.

Really? I thought it was sincere. She left TB before I really got a chance to know her, but she seems like an honest, sweet girl to me. I know that sometimes I fail to see things from another perspective when I'm being a snarky, judgey bee in my head, so reading that clicked a bit for me.
I guess my uo is that I do my makeup while driving - while stopped at lights of course. For some reason I'm always running late in the mornings. And those "5 minutes" it takes to do it at home are spent throwing in a tub of laundry or emptying the dishwasher. Maybe I have to work on my time management.
The apology was kind of "meh" to me. I still think some of the things she posts are kind of show-off- ish. I'll believe it when I see it. I don't know her well at all so I can't attest to her true character. I only see her for what she portrays on Facebook and to me it always seemed condescending/braggy as opposed to sweet. And I'm not 100% sure that wasn't a ploy to get me on the advocare bandwagon. Look it's so good I can even apologize!!!1!1 So yeah maybe I'm a bitch but I believe actions speak louder than words. And if she lives up to her apology then I'll accept it at a later date - if in fact she even directing towards people like me.

If the next thing she shared wasn't "you are willing to die for your kids, but are you willing to change for them?", I might have taken her a little more seriously.

It's a little too ironic it was posted right after a convention. I'm guessing they pumped it to them to make sure to get more clients and you can't make more clients of people don't like you.

I didn't notice that! i don't know her very well besides what's on FB but I have heard a lot of other people that seem to know her better, from the earlier j12 fb groups, say that she is very sweet. I just decided to take her apology at face value. I'm assuming she has a hard understanding why some moms actually like working when she was very unhappy at work. I think it might be hard for her to see the opposite side and maybe someone helped her understand.

I do think she is a genuinely nice person with good intentions but I do think she has a hard time seeing other points of views. That being said, she used to comment and actively like some of my FB stuff and she really doesn't anymore. I think maybe her focus is very narrow and only includes her business stuff and that kind of bothers me. Not that I expect everyone on FB to like everything I post, but I do try and like people's pics and things that I am friends with and make comments from time to time. Meanwhile, several older bumpies I was friends with unfriended me so there's that.
I saw the apology - screen grabbed from another friend because she unfriended me. My first thought was: since she unfriended all the people who expressed their offence at her attitude and words, this apology seems self serving. A true apology would be to the people she was supposedly apologizing to. If she had sent a message to the people who she unfriended after her offensive T-I-M-E comment, rather than her friend group, than I may have been able to take it as more than a show of "look what a humble, big-hearted person I am".
I don't get how she does not realize she is working. She is a working mom, she just has flexible hours and makes her own schedule. She could approach all of this so differently in a way to attract both working moms and stay at home moms.

You have such a way with words. And I forgot that she had unfriended a bunch of people so yeah, I see exactly where you are coming from.
I just don't see the apology the way those that commented on it did.

I would be scared shitless for when advocare goes away and here you have this new lifestyle you can't afford and haven't had a real job in 5 years. I think she is nice but has to be 24;7 cool aid drinker or she will have to go back to the cube.
