What to say

Anonymous - 04/09/2007 01:23 PM

Someone in my office keeps giving me advice on how to raise my 3 year old daughter. Finally, one day I said "you know, you're right, you're much better at this than me. So what time should I drop her off at your house to raise."

Hmm, perhaps an "And if I were your mother..." comment would stop Lil Miz Busybody in her tracks. Sigh, I never have the nerve to say it in person. Amanda http://lifewithbriar.blogspot.com http://hiberante.sarabearco.com	Anonymous 05/07/2008 10:05 AM
I would simply say, " she isn't your daughter, God gave her to me but thank you for the advice anyway. Jenn	Anonymous 02/29/2008 09:31 AM
interesting how people can decide to settle what is wrong in your life. My saying is. What is your address, I will send you all my bills, then you can tell me how to live my life> mom	Anonymous 11/19/2007 05:18 AM
My favorite way to stop people is to say "Fascinating idea!" and leave it at that. OR "what an interesting idea". It ends the conversation and you can go on and do whatever you feel best. BW in Michigan	Anonymous 07/10/2007 12:44 PM
I usually say something like: "The world would be a pretty boring place if we were all exactly the same. Isn't individuality a good thing?" Then again....I bite my tongue to NOT say... "well, she isn't your child, is she? coughand thank god for thatcough" :) But I like your approach....did she quit pestering you? CM	Anonymous 04/09/2007 03:52 PM

Great Book!

I bought this as a gift for my best friend who is a new mommy-to-be.

What a great idea for a book! There is so much pressure out there for women to be perfect-the perfect employee, the perfect wife, the perfect daughter, the perfect friend, and the perfect mother. This book explains that it's ok to have your own style. Be sure and read the last chapter!
