GS for some people can be a wonderful place to have friendships and company without the worries of polite society. When I had my 3 boyz one after the other, I was home all the time, changing diapers, not always the shiniest house, not always looking so nice. I got to visit here and have friends without the worries of those things. I was able to interact when I had a few free moments and when I was busy, no one took offense. Its really a great place and has been a light in my life for a number of years now.
Something I noticed over those years is that when people are very happy with their lives or their relationships, there isnt interest in hearing about it. And there is sometimes even negative response to people who love their lives lol! People come here to vent, to hear about dirt, to dish it out and to try to avoid the consequenses! Keeps things lively! And you know, there are always really helpful and kind people giving the best advice even in the most bashed-on threads.
Mama loves GS. Yer all here, 24-7-365 and even though I’m getting busier and not here as often, its such a comfort to know that its here and always will be. INshallah.
I agreee
Dilidrani is right.. all these issues are not new and neither is it the first time I’ve come across people of a certain (won’t say what) kind.. they are and have always been present in our culture, just swept under the carpet.
And as usual, love your positive posts!
