private... for real.

thanks to the "anonymous" comment made on my last post i am going to do it. {if you have not seen it, please... by all means... do before reading this to fully appreciate my frustration} i mean come on... like i actually "teach" my child that it is OK to hide in the fridge. really?! if you are going to leave some parenting advice for someone that you obviously don't know... at least leave your name. i can never quite grasp other's need to interfere with how someone else... especially a stranger, raises their child. i mean we have all been there right? in the line at the supermarket, at church, at the mall or wherever they can get a word in edgewise. where do people get off thinking that you are in desperate need of their help to raise your child... although the advise is coming from a well meaning place, i am sure, it is just a bit to invasive for my taste. i am much more apt to take advise from my wonderful mother, any of the other amazing women in my life who have raised great kids... who have also, somehow, managed to survive. or any of my friends who are in the same boat i am. so private we will go... thank you for the earth shattering advise not to let my little girl hide in the fridge, it was much needed... i am sure {& in case you read this "anonymous", i do know the story of the child who hid in the fridge during a game of hide & seek and died & it is very sad... but far from the same as my little girl thinking its funny to hide behind the fridge door when i open it up} 
so leave your emails... & PLEASE... don't 'forget' to leave your name :) 
i probably should not have satisfied 'anonymous' with a response... but those of you who do know me... know that would be impossible :)
sorry for the rant...
