I'm sick of the people who claim to be Christians and they turn out to be the most judgemental hypocritical jerks in the world. I'm intolerant of the people who are representing my God in away that does not do him justice. If you don't know anything about a religion other then your own keep your mouth shut. Don't put all of a group into one category. It doesn't work. It makes you look like an idiot. Oh wait! Never mind....

I'm tired of being called "un-patriotic" by people because i'm tired of the war. Tired of it! Judge me if you want on that statement. I KNOW what I have given up for my family to serve this country. I KNOW what its like not having my father around for holidays, birthdays, first date, my games, when I was hurt; because he's on this deployment or that one. I KNOW what its like to see my husband get on that plane not knowing if he's going to come back. I KNOW what it's like for him to be there laying in bed next to me one minute and a phone call changes everything. I KNOW. If you don't SHUT UP!

I know there are more important things in this world then the stupid mommy wars we play. I know there are children out there suffering every single day because of child abuse, or fighting childhood cancer or other disease. When you see those things, someone feeding their child  formula instead of breastfeeding or using disposable diapers over cloth diapers doesn't seem so damn important.

I'm tired of being judged because of what I look like. Don't act like you know me. I'm so much more then a "pretty face" i'm a woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, advocate.

Way to go girl! Tell it like it is, I too feel this way at times. My husband is not in the military but I have dear friends over there and I too want this war to be over.

You go girl. Everyone has an opinion about the war, but until they have someone fighting in it they don't really know how it feels. My son who is 19 is in the Army and I pray all the time that he will stay safe. He isn't in Iraq right now but is supposed to be deployed the beginning of next year. So I am sooooo wanting the war to end and end now. There have been too many deaths from this war. I know each soldier believe in what they are doing and I support that to the end. But enough is enough. IN MY OPINION, most of those people appreciate what we have done but they are not going to be able to really stand on their own until we pull out of there. I am not bashing the president, well maybe I am to some point, but he doesn't have his children over there and so he doesn't know what it feels like at all and I think if he did, he would have brought our soldiers home long ago. Sorry that I went on and on about this. But it is a subject real close to me.

God Bless you and your family.

Amen sister! I'm so tired of all the judgemental mommy stuff. The breastfeeding, vaccination, when-to-start-solids, attachment parenting is the ONLY way, judgemental CRAP is just about on my last nerve!

...even if you are a Dem. (wink, wink, nudge nudge)
