Defensive?

“You can trust yourself. Other people’s opinions are driven by their needs and emotions – not by magical insights about your worth.”

I just realized that ever since I become a mom, I tend to be very sensitive and defensive when it comes to people’s remarks about my son. Somehow it feels like a personal attack to me rather than some meaningless comments from people with less empathy and thoughts.

Maybe it’s just me who being very “cepat terasa” these days or maybe it is because I take too much pride of being a SAHM. I feel that people around me are judging and appraising my daily mothering tasks..huhu!

I just feel tired trying to be tactful and being nice to many other stupid mothers who think they know it all just because they have more than one child or years of mothering experience. Setakat bagi bibik jaga or hantar day care tu, tak yah cakap la oiii..

As advised by Hubby, I should choose my enemy better..to friends who feel kecik hati of my honest and bluntly blurted opinion, I am just blowing some steam here..if you know me all these years, you will know that I didn’t mean to hurt you, rather I am the one licking my own wound..huhu!
