Wait... was I just insulted?...

So I've posted on here before about my extreme coupoming. I've been doing it only about a month and I feel I've figured it out. In the month I've been doing this my grocery and toiletries bill has been down been 90% I'm super proud.  

And I've been talking about it with a lot of other people because I think it should be shared. And a lot of people I personally know started asking me about it on Facebook so I started posting about it all on my account.  Letting people know how much I paid so they can see its possible then showing them how. Usually it's only 2 posts about it a week.

Well today is Sunday and I get new coupons Sunday. We'll to me coupons might as well be free things haha free money.  So I get excited.  And I posted a status that said "yay! New coupons today! Will be righting my list and planning my weekly trip!"

In high school [which was about 6 years ago] I was pretty messed up unfortunately. Got in a lot of trouble,  hung with the wrong people.  All that mess. But I had a few friends who were good people who I still sorta stay connected to today.  I had a friend [we will call him bob] who was always very honest to me. And he was sarcastic but never ever mean or intentionally rude. We fooled around for about 6 months before I met my fiance. We don't talk anymore but we're still Facebook friends.

Well he commented on my coupon post and said "thus the transformation to housewife is complete"  and I just kinda laughed it off and said lol.  But the more I think about it I thus ink it was a mean comment?  He hasn't talked to me in months. Was he just being sarcastic or was that a jab at my lifestyle?

I feel a little offended now but I already responded lol so I don't want to make a big deal out of it? Idk. Am I just hormonal and over evaluating this?

Thanks!  It was weird because I've never considered being a housewife a bad thing. I'm 22 and I consider it my full time job. It just seemed demeaning the way he said it

I agree. I don't know how old you are (in 32) but I feel like a lot of people my age haven't even thought about having a family yet and don't understand when our lives DO revolve around family. Don't have hurt feelings, he just doesn't get it, and shame on him for making you feel bad.

Last year, I did find that I had a bunch of Facebook friends from high school that I really didn't care if I talked to ever again, so I unfriended them. I don't miss anyone I unfriended!

Honey I think you're being hormonal and sensitive. Own up to being a housewife! It's a tough job and shows incredible growth.
Before I met my husband I was a partier. Was out at the bar all the time. Dated a lot. When we met in settled down. When we had our first child I became a stay at home mom and my life revolved around my family. It's called growing up and taking responsibility.
I had a ton of people tell me I changed after. I said thank you I can't live like I am in my 20's the rest of my life. I found something better to live for.
