Why school bakes sales are so scary for divorced moms. Divorced Moms Know Divorce, Costco Pizza and Bake Sales Are Scary.
School fundraisers scare me. Actually, moms at school fundraisers scare me. Now that I’m in a divorce, it’s like I’m wearing see thru panties when I volunteer at school bake sales.
They see everything you’ve got going on and they need to comment. What is it about selling cookies in a school auditorium that just makes people wanna get all up in your business?
Here are a few of the stand-out comments:
How are you going to afford to live?
Thank you for bringing that up! I’m already haunted by a vision of me living in the backseat of my Prius and washing my hair at the 76 station down the street. But thank you for reminding me to panic about that a little bit more.
At least he didn’t beat you.
OK. Have no idea what that comment means. If you do, let me know.
It’s really tough to be an over 40 woman who’s dating.
Thank you for spreading sunlight into my day. Because I’ve been living in a married cave and haven’t heard the statistic that if you are over 40 you are more likely to die in a terrorist attack than marry.
You are so lucky! I’d love to be divorced. Luck has nothing to do it. If you’d like to join this party, have a ton of arguments, destroy your children, file some paperwork and you’re in.
And my personal favorite? Your ex husband is so cute! He’ll have no problem dating.
Thank you for making me feel so awesome about myself. I’ll try not to weep all over these slides of f’n Costco pizza I’m selling to hyper twelve year olds. And I wonder why the smell of cheap cheese pizza and cookies makes me want to hurl.
And let me just say, you are awesome, your kid is awesome and your blog is awesome. And eff the rest.
Hang on there! Those people who are making this stupid chatter are probably even more miserable and insecure. Otherwise, they would want to make you feel like a piece of caca.
That is would Not be set on making you feel bad with stupid comments.
