Somebody posted on facebook this morning, "Sadly had to watch my son turn 1 this week".
I realize life is not all about me, and people generally don't care about what I think but seriously?! Could you not find a different way to phrase that? If you're reading here, let me teach you something I learned from being a mother for just 12 days. Your child's birthday is not sad. Sad is watching your son die. Sad is knowing your son will never turn 1. Or any other number for that matter.
I realize the poster just worded it poorly and I hope was not actually sad about it, but I generally think before I post on facebook, and wonder if my post is going to hurt anyone or offend someone when I didn't mean for that to happen. If you're going to post stupid shit like that, just remove me from your friends list. I work pretty hard at being normal and when I fail it's usually my own fault, so I don't really need anybody else causing the bad moments for me.
I am so sorry that you saw such a post - I know it is hard to see. ((Hugs))
