Even if her intent wasn't to insult you, there is a thing called tact and diplomacy when you disagree with someone. What a beyatch. You just keep making those awesome decisions that work best for your family, and if anyone has anything to say about it, tell em to suck it.Amy *aka willa*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11956093438525975592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631564853196482399.post-70256202221691315712009-03-12T12:34:00.000-07:002009-03-12T12:34:00.000-07:00Ah, you know Super Mom, do you?

Just like you're wrong for not choosing to have Milo in five different activities or having him in too many. No matter what the choice is, if you're not with her, you must be mocked. I know a lot of those moms. I choose to ignore them.Sprite's Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790341033920919000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631564853196482399.post-49285756595882019522009-03-12T11:57:00.000-07:002009-03-12T11:57:00.000-07:00Good lord!

I totally get the vibe from her that I'm denying my adopted from China child her true heritage by not doing the same. As I see her daughter suffer from the stress of the immersion and the long days and the really kind of harsh environment of the Chinese program in general (it's cultural? really? and that's okay?) I'm so freakin' glad I succombed to the easy local school with the bus pick up and drop off and the new school friends that live really NEAR our family. Yeah, I'm a bad mom.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662997340586020638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631564853196482399.post-66936530672305426792009-03-12T09:50:00.000-07:002009-03-12T09:50:00.000-07:00Gah.

If that makes me a bad mom, so be it. I think Jake would rather have a mom who is more sane for not having to drive so much. <BR/><BR/>The whole thing about immigrant parents is just bizarre... I'm not gonna go there.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740554209828853312noreply@blogger.com
