I'm sorry...

MrsWilson31012 · January 2014

I want to apologize for offending people with my UO. Perhaps lack of sleep has gotten to me, and I wasn't really thinking about who I might hurt by saying what I did. I am sorry that my believes have been misunderstood, and offensive to you.

I am a bible believing Christian, who believes that Christ should be involved in every aspect of peoples lives. I do cling to a more traditional set of believes when it comes to having/raising a family.

I understand why what I said about DCP's "raising" other peoples children was both harsh, and uncalled for. I simply meant and should have said that, I don't PERSONALLY want my child spending more awake hours with someone besides me/my DH. I want to be the first to see milestone happen. I want to be the one who comforts my baby when they are upset. NOW before that get misconstrued, I am not saying that you don't want to see them, and that you aren't all entitled to your jobs/careers if you choose to have them. But personally it's not or my family.

I hope you accept my apology, as it again was not my intent to ruffle this many feathers when I posted at 3:30 this morning

Oh, honey. This is a lovely apology. But TB doesn't really forget, you know?

Also, I think every mother wants to be the one to comfort their child. DC doesn't change that. Some mothers want to work, or have to work. Maybe just lurk for a while.

I say that's cool you apologized. That's hard to do under any circumstance. Just don't judge other people on here and be aware of how your words sound. Time will tell if you're sincere, but that's true with everything.

Sometimes posting at 3am just is a bad idea. As is anything technology-related, really. You don't wanna see my YouTube search history.

Wasn't there a HIMYM episode about how nothing good happens after 2am?

I haven't read the UO yet today but I get the gist. Good on you to apologize but I'll echo that of course we all want to comfort our kids and see milestones. Unfortunately, if you leave their side for even a nano second every day you run the risk of missing both of those opportunities. It's not like they only walk between 8 and 5pm or only scrape their knees on the weekends

I am a SAHM and I was the last person to see Max roll over. Go figure.

How nice of you to apologize. Except that you are still holding to these ideas that you want different things than WM. ALL moms want to comfort their children, ALL moms want to see milestones, ALL moms want to spend the majority of their kids waking hours with them. Backpeddling does not an apology make.

I SAH and if you read the TOAT youd see that J rolled over today for the first time while i was washing my hands in the bathroom after a diaper change. :-??

If you read the TOAT? LOL

ASmallWonder · January 2014

Yeah, um, I read the UO now and I take back "good on you" because this isn't an apology. I don't believe someone who apologizes for voicing their beliefs because your beliefs haven't changed and THAT is what people take issue with. Sure, you're entitled to them but your head is in your ass on this one. If you were like "I SAH because I want to SAH" rock on with your bad self. But you claim to be staying home because you want thing we ALL want. Nobody runs from their house yelling "Sweet! I'm going to work and I get to miss ALL THE THINGS!!"

Apology not accepted.

@MrsWilson31012, you make me -- a chill crunchy hippy yogi chick who happens to work in business -- totally ragey. I am attachment parenting whilst carrying my family's future on my shoulders. Even though I am not the target of your UO because I have to work, I struggle to understand your POV. Like PPs said, we ALL want to be there for those milestones; we all want to be the ones comforting our children. And suggesting that daycare is a subpar option for our littles is just shitty. There is no way not to make us upset when you say that.

Speaking of which: Do you have a degree in Early Childhood Education? I don't. And LO's teachers do. They know far more about how to stimulate a baby and encourage him/her to reach milestones than I ever will from my instincts or from reading a few books. I am so grateful for the love, support, and direction they give him, and for the social interaction he gets playing with the other LOs because man is he learning a lot about love right now from all corners.

Consider backing away from the bump and coming back to us later down the line with a bit more compassion -- and please stop using your god as an excuse. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't appreciate it.

All.these.words.

I'm sorry...
