Oh gag me. I love the assumption that because I'm a first mom I'm angry because I was "hurt". That's like me saying you’re defensive because you’re infertile. This would be an ignorant, stupid, silly assumption (though it might make me feel superior for a moment – is that how you felt?).
Frankly, last night I was frustrated, coming off of a 16 hour day (early cross country flight) waiting for an important piece of legislation to get signed by the Governor only to be told it was rescheduled for today… She signed it by the way.
I'm frustrated by the willingness of many to buy into silly stereotypes and to rush to defend illiterate posts by people who do a “drive by” and never defend or post a second time. Was I harsh? Sure. But so was her post.
Three things frustrated me by the OP and hence triggered my “horrid” post:
1) The unwillingness to acknowledge the pain and loss her mother and her sister were feeling from the loss of a child.
2) The giddiness over her sister’s choice, “…when my sister gave him up for adoption, i was so happy because i feared that eventually i would have had to call social services because she is so rough with babies...”
But, she’s so busy with the “feel sorry’s” that she doesn’t back it up. Is her sister a child abuser? Or does she rub poop off too hard with the wipe? Who knows?
It’s easier to just assume the former isn’t it?
3) The “it’s all about me” tone of the post...
Does she think her mother and her sister, raw from the loss of a child, will welcome the fact that her adopted husband doesn’t have a need to know his first mother?
So, I have to say, coming off of a terrific win today, in a way better frame of mind…I’d post it again. And, judging from the PM’s I received today regarding this post, others agree.
