[quote=Anonymous]I see many of these comments very differently than, well, apparently most who have already posted. I have a child with certain needs and have been through the ringer since the moment she was born like so, so many. I have family and close friends who comment on my parenting, strength and gained knowledge and I absorb what they say and let it lift me and carry me sometimes. But for the vast majority of people who make such "you're a great mom ... " comments I really do believe they are simply making conversation. Honestly, other than those close to me I know that no one really cares if I am a good mom or not. They are just saying something they think is nice and to fill a need and then they move on. Everyone has their own 'stuff' to deal with and, frankly, people are pretty inner focused most times. Human nature really. So, I do not take these comments seriously. I take them for what they are, passing comments. I just don't understand the need to take every single thing so personally and prefer to save my energy for my child.[/quote]
