WOW....What a Slam

I've been slammed by an "anonymous" reader to the blog...apparently, my last blog about the boys and their new friends was offensive. I deleted it, but will continue writing more about these boys b/c I suspect (and hope) my boys will continue to play with them. Apparently, I was judgemental. Other than mentioning that the boys were very nice and well-behaved, I mentioned that the younger one was one of the most competitive kids I have ever known. If you know me well, you'll know that that was NOT an insult, but rather a compliment!! I am guilty of being the same way and actually think a competitive nature is a good trait to have. And yes, I am guilty of praising my own kids...what mom doesn't do that? I certainly don't think my kids are perfect, but this blog is actually meant for them to have as a journal when they are older so they can read about what they were doing at each stage in their lives. I am also a "half full" type person, and at the end of the day when I typically write, I'd like to remember the good and not the bad from our day so that is what I write (yet I still capture areas of frustration I have with each child).

And for the record, the neighbor boys are much better behaved than my own children...I think I wrote about how well behaved they were in another blog and have told family/friends that I'm nervous to have my own children around them b/c MY boys fight(those boys do not) and rude things come out of my kids' mouths...especially Sam's (his favorite thing to say is "poopy butt").

The only other thing I can suggest to the "anonymous" reader is this: if my blog makes you want to stick your finger down your throat, just don't read it.
