Topic: My Boys
Do people seriously not think before they say things? This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I was raised that you think before you speak so you are sure not to say something that will insult someone or say something that you truly don't mean. Adults, and even young adults should know this!!
Two comments were made to me last night by people related to me (that will remain nameless). These comments were made within 15 minutes of each other too and it took every piece of my being not to unload on the two that said these hideous things.
First comment: It has become widely known that A. I was against giving Pruitt a pacifier (this stems from issues with Cale and breastfeeding). and B. Pruitt refuses a pacifier 9 times out of 10. When trying to calm him in the restaurant, this comment was made - "Well, that little booger! He just won't take that pacifier! He just got to nursing and thinks that's better than anything. Oh well!"
UMMMMM HELLO!?!?! Nursing is better in my opinion!! And even KNOWING what strife I went through trying to get Cale to nurse, you make an insensitive comment like that?!?!
Second comment made, and this one liked to have exploded my heart with fury. Cale was being asked what he learned at school yesterday. He proudly told the asking party, "I learned the letter 'B' today!" The response - "Um. Ok. Like, whatever!!" *insert the eye rolling here*
THE KID IS THREE!! If this person EVER stomps on his pride again, I swear I'll take her out myself. To him learning a letter is a HUGE MASSIVE thing and to totally push it aside like he's ignorant makes me livid.
I know most moms reading this feel the rage too. . .just pray that I don't see these people for awhile. Or better yet, pray that they gain some sensitivity, if not towards me, at least towards my children.
