Words hurt.
Today, I woke up to a comment on one of my posts. A comment that hurt and shook me to my core. A comment so full of judgement, without accurate information or knowledge about myself and my parenting. I posted a picture of my 15 month old daughter after she had diarrhea. She was laying in her crib covered in poop, and looking sweet and innocent about it. Now, everyone that has a child knows that when they get a stomach bug, it's devastatingly messy. You never know when they will explode out of their diapers. Parents know what I'm talking about. Now someone saw this picture, and decided to take it upon themselves to write this comment (identity is not shown) : 
Now normally I don't let things like this effect me, as parents we get judgement from other moms and people all be time. We learn to just shrug it off. But for some reason, this comment I couldn't quite shake. How can someone be so judgemental and hurtful without knowing a single thing about me or my life? How could someone make such a harsh and critical judgement based off one photo? Today is my husband and I's 8 year dating anniversary. And instead of being excited and feeling happy like I should, a comment from a woman I don't even know is clouding my thoughts and making my cry. I know I shouldn't let these things get to me, but sometimes enough is enough. WE HAVE GOT TO STOP JUDGING AND BEING HATEFUL TO ONE ANOTHER. People have no idea the impact their words have.
