I wonder why we dwell more on the negative things people say to us rather than the positive? I can hear one negative remark, 100 positive ones, but I'll only remember the negative. And then wonder for the next several days why that person doesn't like me, or what I did to provoke a negative remark, or on and on and on.... And maybe the reason some people respond negatively is because deep down they're insecure so it makes them feel better. Or maybe they're just really big jerks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8992542456032126679.post-11358853076485235882008-10-30T11:15:00.000-04:002008-10-30T11:15:00.000-04:00P.S.

I guess I was feeling rather snarky that day or something..=) People need to do what's right for them and their baby. Cloth diapering isn't for everyone. I just get tired of hearing how much work it is, when really it's not that much. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't loosing sleep over what she said, that would be really silly--as you said--sleep is a very precious commodity in a household of kids! It's just been rolling around in my head. I needed to get it out, so now I can move on. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you that it's not always done out of a spirit of meanness, the woman I was speaking of I don't think was intending to be a jerk at all, and I know it's never my intention. <BR/><BR/>The point I was attempting to make, and failing I guess, was that I need to think before I speak. As do we all.Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448653568825634030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8992542456032126679.post-47216277424516472332008-10-30T10:08:00.000-04:002008-10-30T10:08:00.000-04:00While I agree that many women demean other women, ...While I agree that many women demean other women, I'm not sure that its always done out of a spirit of meanness. When some people say "just wait", ( or whatever) they may be trying to give some advice based on what they've experienced. We've all been the recipient of negative vibes that shoot down our happiness balloon but that's just human nature. You've been guilty of it yourself as have I. One of your recent posts kind of ridicules moms who choose disposable diapers. You stated "if you don't have time for a few extra loads of laundry, then that's just really sad." I'm sure you didn't mean it to be demeaning, but some can take it that way. So when you receive some negativity or advice you don't agree with, just let it go. For heaven's sake, dont lose sleep over it! Sleep is a precious commodity in a household with kids!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
