Anyone else?
It's stressing me out!
Do we really need so many threads saying the same thing?
A month ago was the purim tipping threads and why do rebbeim and moros deserve gifts,
now all those kollel families getting all the tzedaka money, there's nothing leftover for real poor people....
Do you think Hashem doesn't run the world? He doesn't know who gets the coupons and who does not? Who has huge bills and who doesn't?
This site is becoming toxic. Crying

Instead of feeling frustrated, maybe feel empathy towards them. Financial stress is crippling. People aren't complaining for the fun of it.

Oh believe me I don't need to work very hard to emphasize. I won't post personal details on here but we are barely managing...

I am crippled and not doing well financially. That’s why I don’t want to read it. I’m hurting enough in my own life.

So you can block the forum without berating struggling folks

Some cause anxiety but others are validating

In real life I see people buying $2-3000 sheitels, driving Genesis cars, and wearing Gucci so I assume they are financially doing well. Feels like I’m the only one worried about grocery store prices and daycamp prices

I never berated anyone just said here that it’s getting to me. No idea what you are talking about.

The way imamother works is there are waves that pass. One week everyone is talking about mother in laws, the next weeks it’s vaccines, then it’s teachers, then it’s homemade shalach manus, then it’s these crazy shalom bayis issues, then it’s homebirth…

Go off of imamother for the next short while and when you come back all the threads will be about something else.

To each their own. It's the first forum I read each morning.
