The truth is, these boards can make us feel like we're doing things wrong
just because we're not doing them the same way as "goodmommy919." And
that is more screwed up than the innards of a Diaper Genie. I picked my fragile
mommy shell up off the ground, and raged: <EM>How dare anyone judge my parenting
skills without ever being inside my home, knowing my family, knowing my bank
balance?</EM> I seethed all day until my husband came home and found me abusing my
keyboard to generate a brilliant response (I was leaning toward "You Suck!!!"),
while my daughter sat beside me, eating the television remote.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AA46E16C-010D-4D67-AEF0-CF72EA2985F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
