And yes, you do come off that way in several of your "suggestions" when you are telling people what they should or should not post on their own personal social media pages. <br />Since you seem to enjoy giving advice, I hope you can take it as well. Might I suggest working on your communication skills? Before you make a post like that again, maybe take your first piece of advice from yourself and walk away from it for a couple days, then go back and read it again before deciding if that's really the way you want to portray yourself.

Craft day is perfect, as you will see in my next post, I give ideas for crafts, but what you are missing is I am saying let your child be COMFORTABLE while they are living, let yourself be comfortable. <br /><br />I also never called these moms bad mothers, most of them are fabulous moms, but they are possibly so exhausted, but scared to crack and say I can't be perfect all the time. <br /><br />I have had many mothers tell me today they appreciate this post, because they are feeling the same way....this post was obviously not for you, that happens in life and I appreciate your comment none the less.

Not at all. But what you are trying to do is try to get some mothers to understand that they do need to keep their priorities straight. That seems to be the actual message here to me. <br />I don't think that anyone should be offended by your post, especially someone who isn't even a mom. <br />You said many true things about moms today, there are MANY moms that put their own wants and needs in front of their childrens, and there are many moms who "stage craft day photos to look perfect" If they would stop for a second and realize that the "real life" stuff is so much better and satisfying they would probably feel awesome.<br /><br />so NO, I don't think you were judging or telling people what to you, you were trying to get a message across.....and it makes perfect sense, we see it all around us ever single day!<br /><br />Great Job!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561380794322743883.post-2576473261405205232013-12-10T07:48:27.656-08:002013-12-10T07:48:27.656-08:00Becky, I don't think you are trying to "m...Becky, I don't think you are trying to "make" anyone change. I see that you are just wanting women to think about the underlying reasons for the things they are doing. If your advice doesn't apply to ones, such who "anonymous" speaks of, then they can be happy and content knowing they are living the life they choose and not just caught in a rut or a "trend" of life and expectation of others. <br /><br />LitTcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194490003203269384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561380794322743883.post-3634888254823344372013-12-10T06:43:11.364-08:002013-12-10T06:43:11.364-08:00Your apology means nothing when you are still tryi...Your apology means nothing when you are still trying to tell other women, other mothers, how to live their lives. You tell them to forget the nail appointments. Maybe it's the one time every week or two they can get together with a friend and chat. You tell them to forget craft day. Maybe their CHILD enjoys crafts. You tell them to just live their life. Maybe that is how they are CHOOSING to live their life. Everybody's life is different. Everybody chooses to live their life their own way. <br /><br />I'm sorry your fairytale turned into a nightmare. But don't assume that other people's lives are going to end up the same way. And before you assume that I must be one of those "fake moms" who got offended....I don't have any children. I'm not even married. But I have good friends who are married with children who are wonderful mothers and wives and who I am offended for when you would think somebody is "faking" their life, when you probably know nothing about them.
