Nope....I think you need to read again, maybe after the 48 hour rule ?
I hope I did strike a nerve.....Never been afraid of that.
To quote a really good friend...
I'm not your friend, I'm your support.
But you are thinkin now....
Really? Does my sense of humor just skip on by???
And yep, thinkin ... thinkin you missed my point.
The nerve? Yep, not the men/women relational nerve ... the parenting nerve. I felt judged ... so I'm looking at that. Why did it bother me? Mostly because you don't know me as a parent. I've posted extensively about myself and my issues, but not much about my parenting style or philosophy. And I'm ok, actually more than ok, with the job I do as mommy. So I'll leave you to your opinion.
And yes, I realize you are support, and it's appreicated, it really is. I have done the work on this piece ... I've got lots left to do in MANY areas, but I've done a lot of the diggin' here.
I just choose to not be confined by societal standards of acceptable behaviour for men and women ... why? Because they are gender biased and arbitrary. Funny, I wonder ... if I were a lesbian and chose to mostly hang out with and joke around with men in the same fashion as I do now ... would anyone have a problem with it? I would guess not. Why is that?
Yep, J3B hit me with that one already .... thanks for the reminder.
