[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] If you saw a hiker half dead from exhaustion, with a sprained ankle, limping down the trail would you truly say “wasn’t that view you passed just spectacular!?!?” Because that’s the analogy here. Or telling that same hiker “you think it’s hard now but wait till you get around the bend!” and then smile and walk off. As opposed to, like, helping them around the bend. [/quote]
