Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Like the title says soap cliches you are just sick and tired of I for one am sick of soap kids coming home for the summer pissed off at their parents about school. Boarding school is not prison. I have rich friend who went to boarding school for two years and loved it. And do the kids who actually tune into soap really care about the whiny of young priveledged people over going to good schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Sleeping with someone after having a fight with a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't know many people in real life that does that... plus, sick of pregnancies resulting from said one night stands. Maybe in the 1960s/1970s that would have worked... but nowadays there is condoms, birth control, etc. The one cliche that has to stay is teen pregnancy.. when i was in high school, I knew five or six girls in my class that were knocked up. One of them was my friend and i asked her why they didn't use protection.. and she said that they didn't think it would happen to her. I think she ended up giving the baby up for adoption and went to college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Pregnant women fainting. I hate it. The moment the sperm meets the egg soap women start falling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 It felt like everyone was pregnant when I was in highschool but I did read recently that the teen birth rates are a record low. I hate how soaps write teen pregnancy stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 *Psycho frauen on Facebook. *When the endgame couple are always the "heroes", regardless if their actions actually are heroic or not. (Rex/Gigi is the biggest example that comes to mind.) The last time we had a soap kid without a considerable grudge against any parent...we had Starr Manning. 'Nuf said.

Members ellabelle Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Women hiding the existence of children from the father. I understand if he was abusive or the child was conceived in rape, but other than that... if he was good enough for you to screw, he's good enough to attempt fatherhood.

Members Winchester91 Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 A corollary to that are women who believe that a child is enough to hang on to a man. It cheapens the worth of a child. For once I'd like to see a guy say, "Screw you, get an abortion, betch." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 In addition, I hate when someone marries the person they don't love all because they had a child together. It's stupid as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 YES. At some point abortion became a dirty word and only lip service was given to the idea that a woman might not want to have a child. You can tell a compelling story with a woman ending her pregnancy, and no, she doesn't have to be a rape victim to want to terminate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't know about that. There are men out there who are good for nothing but screwing and useless for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted May 24, 2013 Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well, okay, I'll give you that. But if screwing is all he's good for, then for the love of God, use protection and don't give birth to his kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I also can't stand "bad boys" that are all talk no action. He drinks, he gambles, he's bad to the bone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
