First I thought, you chose to have kids, and why did you have kids if you knew it would make tyour life so miserable?
Secondly everyone's life is different and just because we have different challenges doesn't mean anyone's are harder than anyone elses. Right now I have foot and mouth disease that I developed from my loving nephew... is that as challenging as cancer... of course not but I have never had cancer to compare it to. I also can't imagine what life would be like if all I thought about was how much worse something could be! Should I just lie in bed thinking of how awful cancer is rather than watch Grey's Anatomy and try to forget the pain? Although I do believe in being positive it hurts to walk and grasp things so if I want to be in pain and verbalize it...I shall!
Very rarely do unfiltered people comment on my facebook, but I have seen a lot on the stfu blog and on other people's pages. It happened to me once when I was venting my moving frustration but I don't think the person meant anything by it so I let it go.
However rather than competing over who's life is harder let's just sympathize with everyone and their unique situation. To the stranger who said "people without kids shouldn't complain to people who have kids" I would want to say "people with 2 kids shouldn't complain to people with 3 kids!" and people with 3 can't complain to people with 4 kids and so on. My life is regularly challenging for me because it is all I know, and it is only going to get more challenging before it gets easier.
Even if we see something that makes us go "are you really complaining about that?" we all need to loosen up a bit and be friends to those who we claim are our friends! So anyway that is my share for the day... I hope to be back shortly to write posts about my UK trip and my upcoming move to Kansas City.
