I know you're not off buying new iPhones and shit. I didn't have much to say about the post in question except what I already said to you on twitter. I can't wait to meet you!!! (SQUEEEE!!!!) (Oh and I pretty much never read blogs anymore, so no worries there!!! hahaha) I think anyone that knows you on twitter would know that you have been working your asses off to make this house thing happen.

You said what you said and frankly I saw nothing wrong with it. Some people obviously did. But a true friend would hopefully be willing to talk to you about it, even if it hurt them in some way and not just walk away. I think when we are open and raw and emotional, is when we tend to learn who our true friends are. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I don't know what has crawled up everyone else's ass, but I'm still sitting here, reading, and enjoying every word. :) Well, you are better off without people who are willing to walk away.

Wow. Holy controversy. I guess I still agree with what you said originally on a number of fronts. But, good for you for saying what you did in this post. The thing that still bugs me about this post is that you feel like some people have given up on you. I don't really get why people would give up on your for saying how you feel. If I gave up on every mom who said to me (yes, WAHMs even) who said to me "I'm at home because I don't want a stranger to raise my kids" I'd have very few mom friends. And, I think that's probably meaner than what you said. I really do. But whatever. I think motherhood gives you a thick skin. And I think that no matter what choices we make re: working we ALL have our kids' best interests in mind. And, covet away when it comes to the appliances. To quote Dr. Seuss: "be who you are and say what you feel because those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind."

I came back. Your post actually sparked me to post about the very same thing. It is a hard balance, that of motherhood and working. Its a touchy subject, one that we on either side can get very defensive of. Shit happens, we say stupid stuff sometimes that we wish we could take back but we cant. What is done is done. You are way ahead of the game acknowledging that you made a mistake. If your "friends" arent willing to accept that and move on, they werent your "friends" to begin with. I dig your blog cause you are honest and funny. Keep it up. I happened upon your blog from that post that you wish would die a fast and miserable death and guess what? I came back.

Everyone's got one. And I seriously doubt that one person's asshole is better than another's. That's just disgusting. Or maybe there really ARE good assholes and bad assholes. I'm just glad we can all share our opinions and not our assholes. ;-) What I mean to say is, you're entitled to your opinion, and you're also entitled to change your opinion! And to have a bad day, and all that hoo-ha. You have a great blog, and I certainly didn't stop reading over one post. Eventually it will be a faded memory. Hang in there!!

But then I realized it wasn't a personal attack and if we were out having drinks and sharing notes on how hard certain aspects of our lives are, you probably would be sympathetic to my hardships, just as I am sympathetic to yours. That said, I had a little hissy fit of "I've done both and this is WAY harder" but I'm over it. Life is hard. I come to blogs to find a community that I don't have at home and collect other points of view. You simply have a different point of view from me. Don't stop writing what you feel. And good luck with that move, we are under contract as well which means I can add packing and moving to my lists of running 2 businesses w/ 2 toddlers and a husband who works away from home 4 nights a week!!

And, as many have stated already, those that choose one post to change their opinion of you, are not your friends. We all have moments where emotion gets the better of our judgement. Some people scream, some cry, some clam up and don't talk, some write....as bloggers, guess what helps us??? Keep writing...whatever you're feeling. Emotions are honest, open and sometimes hard to hear, but they're yours and no one can take them from you. We’ve all been there…sometimes it’s not online for all posterity, but you’re not alone.
