I mean, seriously? When we blog openly about parenting, family life, how it is versus how we'd like it to be... there's gonna be some contradictions. Duh. Because we aren't perfect... we're human. I think your honesty is so refreshing and anybody who sees it as an opportunity to be a shitty person to you... is just that. A shitty person. Much love. .-= Jasie VanGesen´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.bytheseatofourpants.com/2009/11/parenting-from-gut-hip-heart-what-have.html" rel="nofollow">parenting from the gut, hip, heart... what have you.</a> =-.

Hah! Having gone back and read both your two other posts, I feel kind of sorry for those people who trolled you - sounds like they've had a sense of humour bypass.

Oh yes, of course, I personally *always* behave up to my very best intentions every minute of the day. Hah!

I had a friend who was like a mini-Michelle Duggar: never screamed, always spoke sweetly and disciplined gently, was just all sugar and spice, and kept a perfectly tidy house to boot. It made me feel like shit, because here I am with my messy house, yelling at my kids, and sometimes even (gasp!) spanking them. When she moved away, I was sad, but also a little relieved. You hit the nail on the head with the troll comment about looking for you to be perfect. I wonder which is more egregious: yelling at your kids, or skanking around on blogs eagerly waiting for a chance to internet-yell at a total stranger because they acted human.

We all have moments of screamyness and pantlessness (sometimes they even occur at the same time) and then we move on. Here's to a better day!

I laughed at your story because it was funny and ... I could see myself doing something similar. I'm also laughing now because the trolls are stupid. I don't really know what is so horrible with being a *good* parent but I'm sure those trolls don't even have kids. There is nothing wrong with being a good parent, striving to be a better parent, and attempting to inspire others to be better parents as well. I think the trolls are just jealous. LOL!
