What have I have asked that is beyond common sense?  I usually post something I'm going back and forth on my decision on. So it may seem that I'm not using my common sense to you by asking a silly question but it's more about getting reassurance that I'm making or have made the right choice for Clark!

    I know, and I get that. I just couldn't not say anything because the post below became all about the punctuation when in reality, some of the comments that have been made "behind your back" (or whatever that means on a public msg board) have had nothing to do with punctuation.

    I don't make a habit of keeping old posts just to dig them back up again, but some of the girls on here have amazing memories. *If anyone would like to give Maureen an example, go for it.*

    Again, Maureen, I am not trying to hurt your feelings. Just wanted to come clean.

    I know it was about the crib post but that was just a "hey you may be able to find something on craigslist."  I really dont post a ton on here so I cant imagine what other things you ladies are going to dig up on me. This is a great way to start my year of being 28! Sad

    :::butting in:::

    I just got caught up on the other post.  

    I don't necessarily get bothered by all of the questions, but more the attitude that you take sometimes when someone is trying to help.   Or in one instance, the post wasn't about you in the slightest and you completely jumped down my throat.  And it wasn't an isolated issue.

    I so wish I had that amazing memory because I really don't remember the specific incident that I'm referring to, but it wasn't that long ago.  Which shows how unimportant the actual topic is, but that things that we all say can rub people the wrong way.

    A recent example:

    When you asked whether or not you should be mad at your dad because Clark fell under his watch.

    I dunno, maybe that really was a legitimate question...but if I remember the responses, I think most of us were pretty baffled that you were asking that, especially given that Clark wasn't actually injured.

    Yeah, I must be missing something with the crib post because all I remember is that you posted a crib listing on Craigslist for Kathy.

    I really REALLY don't like being a part of these posts, however you asked, so I will answer. 

    I had a few people from the board over to our house for a Halloween party. I didn't invite that many people (our house is so extremely small) and I only invited people I actually know IRL. Pictures were posted on FB and you said something on one of the pictures about how "oh poor Clark isn't there again" or something to that effect and how you weren't invited. I don't know you IRL and it was really bizarre to me that you would write something so bold like that. A few people emailed me too afterwards and said something to the effect of "wow, I can't believe she said that!" So that is what rubbed me the wrong way, originally.

    I was feeling fine about it and then my DH had this look on his face like "I cant believe you didnt say something to your dad!" so I was really torn about how I should have handled the situation and wanted to know how you ladies would have handled it.  If you would have seen my dad's response and the position that Clark was in when I went to scoop him up you would have understood.  I didnt really think that was an off the wall post ..I was truly concerned and upset about the situation which now makes me feel like I cant share those things.

    For the record - you're right, you're asking questions because you care about your son and are trying to keep his best interests in mind. We're all (hopefully) doing the same thing.

    But this is still a community, and each of us still has the ability to annoy, upset, enlighten, provide humor, etc. If one member is rubbing others the wrong way, it's bound to come out at some point.

    I guess I'm not very memorable because we have met in IRL at Kathy's house and we talked about how you were going to make Rowan's cow outfit. Christie actually introduced you and I to one another at Kathy's house. I think I said that about Clark not being there because I seem to always have something else going on when there is a GTG.

    I do vaguely remember that. However, I don't really *know* you, you know? And it wasn't a Knottie Mamas FB group GTG and it wasn't listed on the site at all. That's why it seemed really odd to me that you would say something like that when you never received an invitation in the first place. I took it as a punch at me saying, "thanks for not inviting us".

    Sorry you took it that way....didnt mean it that way at all!  I guess since I'm friends with you on FB I didnt think it would be odd to make a comment.

    In the spirit of honesty, I've noticed that you overreact a bit sometimes (Kelley's pink eye post comes to mind) and then you get down on yourself and seemingly expect to be consoled by the board (the crib post). I'm sure it isn't your intent to come off like this, and admittedly I've never met you IRL, but I don't like when adults need coddling or ego stroking. The punctuation issue drives me bananas but if that's your style, that's your style. I'm sure you don't intentionally post to come off this way but it is how our posts read, to me. You seem to be a perfectly nice person so don't be disheartened!

    Jac:

    You are correct about overreacting...my husband will agree with all of you on that one!!  I re-read that post about pink eye and yes I was super upset because I felt like I was being blamed for not catching Clark's pink eye sooner and I didnt realize that the post really wasnt about me Embarrassed. See my post to her about apologizing for it.

     Kelly:

    FWIW...and really it's nothing but I posted a comment on one of Christie's Halloween pics (originally thought the party was at her place) which is why I commented about Clark not being there...sorry again that you thought it was bizarre for wanting Clark included.

    It makes a lot more sense if you thought it was at her house. Thanks for clarifying.
