What Did I Do?

Seriously... It's been one of those days.

We went to the store... and the baby threw a fit... Finally we just left.

Walking back, stupid people wouldn't let me cross the street. Yes they were stupid. Anyone who sticks their car halfway out into the street in heavy traffic blocking the pedestrian crossing fits that description in my opinion.

I get home to find a voice mail... friend worried, I get online to check out her info, enough said there... but it ends in us talking on the phone...

When I washed a pan to cook dinner and burn my hand...

And then walk into a freaking wall.

Oh no... It doesn't stop there.

My SIL gets online. Ok, so we have different opinions on just about everything. That's a given. Very different parenting styles... and I'm fine with that. But we start talking about dr's appointments and vax's (since we just had them) and I mentioned that at her 12 months we would have had 4 (ugggh... I wish we could afford to space them out one at a time) but managed to avoid that since we skipped the flu vax. As you can imagine, she did the flu one and said she'd rather her daughter get it than get sick... very understandable (I won't fault anyone for that), but I explianed why I will not give it... and she took it as an attack! Made a comment about how she's done the research and everything. (I never said she didn't... didn't say she was wrong... Said this is why I won't do it)

Then goes on to how dr's are saying things are bad now, but we survived it... I'm sorry, but.... ??? Come on... That's the one argument that aggrivates me the most. Yes some lady on cafemom survived her mother strapping her in the backseat in a bucket, but are you going to do it? Stick w/ the I've done my research and would rather my child get the vax than get sick (this is me on 99.9% of them too) it's a good responce... I won't fault anyone for saying it, whether I agree or not. Anyways, I normally don't get hot over this topic... I see both sides of the fence on it...

No it just bothered me the way she said it... as if I was putting her down, when I really wasn't. (Seriously I've gone back and reread it lol...)

I just had a nice conversation w/ my neighbor though. Is funny because I explained that last part... He does the flu vax's and didn't see why she was upset either. Was nice to vent about everything though...
