WOW The balls and meanness of some people

Dear Crazy Lady who is stalking my mom's board and then writing about it on your blog,

I tried extending an olive branch the other day only to have it slapped back in my face:

I made the mistake of going to the “evil” board this week and stumble across a confessions thread. It quite literally made me feel sick to my stomach. Either I am a mutant or these women need a reality check. Not that I should judge, I guess I am not really but I can’t help but wonder why it’s so hard to drink a bottle of water to help your body make good milk for the baby you worked so hard to bring into this world.

I want the best for my children, from breastmilk to schooling to parents. I want the best and if that means I can’t suck down a liter of Dr. Pepper then it means I can’t. My kids are more important the rotting my teeth anyway.

And sleeping, seriously, did you expect the baby to come with an off switch? You have to get up with them, period. If you are lucky enough to have a husband/boyfriend/girlfriend to help, wonderful but if they are the primary income in your life, they need to the sleep because you need the paycheck, that’s all there is to it. I can talk my three into a nap, Buns cannot. However, nap time on the weekends for him is out…. I draw the line there.


I know that you might think that you are a all knowing now that you have three children, but if you don't learn one thing from life, learn this. You live in a bubble - your internet and home world. You need to get a life outside your bubble to know that there are THOUSANDS maybe even millions of different parenting styles. Not every one of them is right for everyone, which is why it is awesome to live in our society and to be able to choose what we do with our children. Whether or not we want to co-sleep, cloth diaper, feed on demand or schedule, it is UP TO THE PARENT.

HOW DARE YOU criticize someone else for their parenting choices? WHO ARE YOU TO DO THIS and what are your qualifications to rank you superior to everyone else to judge them on that?

Stay away from the board. You are not welcome there anyway. I don't stalk your board nor do I care that you have one. Nor do I care that you have talked about us many times. GET YOUR OWN LIFE AND STAY OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE'S.

Oh, and by the way maybe this should have been the top part of your blog post (I have highlighted the ones that apply):

It's always baffled me when people make a big stink about leaving a board, or ending a friendship, or whatever - and then they continue lurking, reading, stalking, obsessing. If you want to move on, then do so. Otherwise, hash it out and get past it, y'know?
