[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 62828, member: 3837"] I've had times like this in my life too. Right now, today, I just want to get away from the noise of kids. My husband asked what was wrong earlier, because in my words, I was being witchy with a B. Nothing is wrong really, at least I can't pinpoint anything, I just am in a funk. I'm so sorry you lost your closest friend. I lost one years ago because of her telling me she didn't agree with the way I parent. My kids don't behave like hers, even my difficult children are better than her kids, but she didn't like my parenting. I decided I wasn't going to say anything back to her about her own children and her parenting, I would just tell her I was done listening to her tell me how bad I was. I did stop listening, but now we don't speak. I have another friend I haven't seen in months that I saw not to long ago, that also chose to tell me how wrong I am for my parenting. How sending my kids outside is wrong, its too hot. Its about 80-85 degrees here lately, but I'm awful for making mine go outside to roam around. There are some things in any relationship that you just can't be okay with. I love my kids and for a friend to tell me how awful I am or judge me when they don't handle their own children or have kids who don't have problems and assume they know whats right for me, its just too much for me. I understand how you're feeling right now. I think Totoro is right though, this too shall pass. Just try to keep your head above water for now and keep coming back here for support. If you need anything, just to vent, whatever, I'm happy to listen, well, read. : ) I hope things start looking up soon for you. [/QUOTE]
