I'm seriously annoyed by nearly everyone today
It could just be hormones, or it could be that people are just rude or don't think.
There was a thread entitled "Circumcision". Then inside the question was, "when do they do it". There were plenty of responses to when these people had their sons' circumcised. I simply wrote, "We opted not to. Not preaching to you at all, but do your research" And then to make sure it was all good, I had little wink emotiocon inserted.
The next f'ing poster wrote, "This isn't a discussion about contemplating circumcision. She's obviously already made the decision to do it and was asking when it is typically done."
So because I'm already completely annoyed with people I wrote: "You obviously didn't read my post clearly when I said, NOT preaching to you." Yes, I know bitchy but I don't care. Maybe she didn't know she had options in this regard. I wasn't lecturing, just stating what we did and telling her to do her research. Maybe she has and that is fine if that is her decision for her family. I make no judgments on that.
I am avoiding blogs that are dealing with miscarriage or other subjects that I just don't need to know about. Unless there is something specific that I NEED TO KNOW in order to avoid disaster, please don't tell me about it. This process is nerve wracking enough. I don't need any warnings about things out of my hands.
Hopefully I'll have a nicer, more happy post later in the day. Geeze I'm not liking the way I feel today. CRABBY.
Deanna, my friend......I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
You will make a fantastic mom to twins, just like you are a superb mom to Jake. Oh, this is such GOOD news!!
Much love

Sigh... the negative to NOT hearing intonation is that people don't understand. Or don't read carefully. Or are dumb. Etcetera. :) And then, they not only don't understand but then overreact.
I hope your day has gotten better! :)

Hope your day has improved! And you know what, someone reading that thread may do some research when they hadn't beforehand... how I wish someone had told me to research it!
