Man. People are just shitty.

I mean, REALLY shitty.

What's up with all of the "I'm not happy and I see that you are, so I'm going to make you unhappy by snarking at you online" crap? Don't people have anything better to do? Seriously? Why do they have to try to make others feel as miserable as they are. It makes me so sad that their lives are so messed up. What must their parents have done to them when they were little to make them turn out that way?

Good for you, staying so calm and collected!

Kevin likes his work- and since the shop is downstairs I often find myself dragging him back into the apartment hours after he said he'd finish up. And he likes his video games. So our solution was that he worked, we all got together on the bed and read books with Iris, I nursed her to sleep while he played his games for however long in the other room. I liked that he wasn't in the apartment distracting Iris, he liked that he could play his games all he wanted. It is a good system. And by no means does it mean that my husband doesn't spend time with me or our baby, or that we don't belong in an attachment parenting community! And you are ABSOLUTELY right- games are so much better than bars, other women, or bars and other women. I would much rather have him at home playing some game and drinking a beer here, where I can holler at him to bring me a fresh burp cloth. ;)

Often times I find myself afraid to ask questions on those communities because people can be so damn snarky. It's so stupid- are they there to help people out or make them feel like idiots because they don't know/can't do something/can't buy $30 each fitted diapers/don't do things the way they do? It makes me crazy sometimes, and I regularly have to stop watching communities for a while just so I can stop bitching to Kevin about how stupid the internet is. His answer, always, of course, is to just turn the damn thing off. ...Men....

Yeah, mine says the same thing. :) Just turn it off! It's amazing how simple things can be for my hubs. And it's true. They don't know me or where I live or what my name is. That makes them anonymous and "not real people." They are just words on a computer screen.

I wish I had the option to turn REAL people off when I want to.

You and me both, mama. Especially the inlaws.
