There is a discussion on one of my national loops about how to handle it when your younger than 6 child says “I hate you” or any other version of “I only love you a little bit”. I responded to the discussion with how my family handles it. Then I went offline for a day or two to come back to a post by a women that just set me off. But I’m a few days behind the conversation. And I don’t have anything to really add except to say something to the equivalent of “PPHHHHBBBBTTT :P”
I know a stellar come back *roll eyes* I think what upset me the most is that she seemed to respond to my post as if I had said do what I do, its best. And I hadn’t. I just relayed what we do as one of the many options out there. And I personally felt that in her response she effectively said that what I do is wrong. That “I’m right” you are “wrong” drives me insane.
So I am returning to the shadows of lurkdom on this loop again. I appreciate some of the ideas that it generates but the philosophical, parenting and other debate discussions generate so much traffic (read 30+ emails) and often personal jabs that I can’t keep up with the flow of the discussion and don’t really enjoy it as a healthy debate.
I know I’m whining. *WAAAAHHHHH*
There I feel better.
We’ve been busy being caught up in a cold here at our house. No great pictures this week for wordless Wednesday. Mostly just shots of Lil’B feeling poorly or if I took a photo of myself - me looking haggard. Lil’B has been up most nights and least twice fussy, unable to breathe and generally in the thralls of a big winter cold. My back is killing me because he does somehow manage to sleep okay with Daddy and I. Go figure?
We have been out once or twice to enjoy the snow. And we all feel a bit better after breathing in the crisp, fresh air. This could be because it makes the s-n-o-t run out of the wee nasal cavities that its bothering. Making for some easy breathing for a few minutes at least!
Hope all is well with all of you!

sending get-well vibes your way.
I get so frustrated with groups sometimes, but I’m an addict. I mostly lurk anymore, too, for the same reasons.
