[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't post about the bad times.  I'm sure she has lots of happy moments, but just as many struggles.  No one is perfect.  I always feel like people who project this perfect life image are hiding something and not authentic.  I like people who are real. [/quote]

This is so very, very true. She is selling a brand of mommy perfection here. Good for her, but it's internet packaging guys, wake up.[/quote]

I think adults can understand that no one is "perfect" without needing to "wake up."  Give me a break!  She's an optimist.  If that's not your cup of tea, so be it, but to imply that her readers are somehow getting the wool pulled over their eyes and just don't know it... that's pretty condescending, frankly.[/quote]

I don't mean to be condescending. But I just think it is intellectually and emotionally dishonest to present a fake reality to people at all times and revealing an almost cartoonishly positive view of parenting particularly when it's SN. Its is a very very vulnerable group of parents, we're probably harder on ourselves than other parents and I hate to see anyone manipulating that intense desire many of us have for hope and good outcomes. Sorry if I offended you.[/quote]

Well said.[/quote]
