[quote=Anonymous]Don't take it so personally. I bet 99% of what you're hearing is just conversational stuff and not specific jabs at you. Are you sure you didn't twist word from what you're friends were saying? You seem really insecure and paranoid. Kids are an extension of you. So, by default, you become defensive, hurt, and angry at any sort of (constructive) criticism which may or may not be directed at your parenting. Were you lamenting about the woes of potty training so your friend pipped in with "yea, Ms. Daycare Teacher got Larla to pee 5x/day on the potty. I'm so glad too because I was too lazy to tackle it full force and have a delayed potty trained kid"... BUT You interpret this as "OP - you must be lazy since your kid isn't potty trained yet". See how you can easily mis-understand things and feel like it could be a direct insult to you when it really isn't? Part of it could be the tone-deafness of other parents no matter if they're SAHM or WOHMs. [/quote]
