FAVORITE THINGS FRIDAY #5...DEALING WITH NASTY COMMENTS
In my recent blog hopping I came across SCRIBBIT who wrote about how to deal with nasty comments and she had this flow chart to go along with it. Her ideas are great and the flow chart made me smile. Check out her site too.
I have had a nasty comment or two because I used the term "birth mother" and shortened it to "BM". The PC term is "expectant mother" even though my adoption agency used the term birth mother. Grrr, there are so many sensitivy issues. BTW, prepare yourself if you do read blogs written by people who placed a child or are adoptees. Some of them are very angry and it is upsetting. I remember I was upset when I realized we would have the joy of becoming parents at the expense of her sadness.
I sort of had a mini-breakdown when my cousin who struggled w/fertility stuff (PCOS, diabetes, hypothyroid, weight) got pregnant and some mean person told me to stop whining. What's a blog for? I actually responded in a post and a ton of people came to my defense.

That is funny! I will go check out that blog now too.:)
God Bless,

Glad you liked it :) Funny thing is, I had more nasty comments on that post than I've had in all my time blogging put together. That's irony for you.
