[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is like you are hiking on a trail. The people who are coming back might say, "that next part is a bear." Or, "didn't the part you just finished have spectacular views?" They are not being smug or competitive or mean. They are sharing the journey you are both on.

If you were not so exhausted and overwhelmed, you could probably take it as it is meant. I just don't think you realize that your strong negative reaction emanates from your quality of life right now, not the friendly women who is looking fondly at your beautiful child. [/quote]

Totally agree. There is their weird generation that never wants to interact with anyone, won’t answer their front door, and only sees the world through their own eyes. It is a strange and sad lot. [/quote]

This. And they literally don't have the time of day for someone 10-15 years ahead of them on this path, and actually wonder why we have the audacity to even breathe the same air they do. Hope all these angry moms don't have more kids, but because more kids are actually MORE work, despite what cute Instagram image they have in their head. [/quote]

It is actually shocking how women on this site, who share the same difficult job of parenting are ripping each other apart (one side only mind you) instead of supporting each other.

Talk about smug. How many of the younger posters seem to think they are superior because their moms gave birth to them after the older posters' moms. That takes not talent and guess what, you will reach our age. And hopefully the younger women you encounter will have respect for you and realize that you have a tremendous amount in common despite the wrinkles on your face.[/quote]

They are the same ones complaining they have no family or support network and they wonder whatever happened to "it takes a village"? The village is still there, but apparently we are beneath them. [/quote]

[b]I have a village full of friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. My village is supportive, considerate, positive and polite.[/b] It is not full of Smug Mommys who try to one-up people and make everything about them.

Older moms are not beneath me. Smug Mommys are, indeed, beneath me. Seek attention elsewhere. [b]I focus on positive people who approach with a smile and a kind word,[/b] not unsolicited advice and Just You Waits.[/quote]

Your repeated comments and arguments and name-calling here make the bolded statements impossible to believe. Our generation is terrified of offending yours, and with good reason. You seem okay with that though. [/quote]

LOL, OK. Bye! [/quote]

You just proved their point about you. Congratulations. [/quote]
