I Did Something Bad Today

Well  really, I did two bad things but the second isn't as important to me as the first.  I had my first "anonymous" comment left on my blog and I immediately took it personally.  Me? Take something personally? No way!  Insert sarcasm. I automatically assumed because someone put an anonymous comment on my blog with a link to a story about lazy parents who let their kids go crazy eating, that I too was perceived as bad parent. 

So, what did I do? I immediately called my mother and all of my closest friends.  You know the ones who will always tell me the truth, and asked them if they thought I sucked at parenting.  Every single one of them replied "no way, your great April."  Still wasn't feeling better.  

Then I thought about it for a little while and came to my senses.  I chose to put my life on the internet and share things with people that aren't always pretty and once in a while I'm going to get called out on not doing the best job.  The SAHM thing is my whole deal, so I take it personally when people think I am doing a bad job at it, or I am assuming that they think that.  I take pride in the how Aidan is turning out.  I am sure the link was meant to be helpful and not hurtful.  I can't let silly comments bother me.  I have way to much work to do trying to figure out how to get my kid to stop snacking. xoxoxoxo
