I guess I need to stop watching Little House on the Prairie. :( Although they didn't drink coffee. Oh well, I digress.<br /><br />Also, awkward can also be defined as getting kicked OUT of a play group.

If you're thinking the 2nd to last paragraph was what somebody else said to me, it wasn't. It's my own thoughts after seeing her Status Update, which I didn't quote or paraphrase at all. She mostly thought the whole thing was funny, hadn't given the breastfeeding a second thought, and was surprised and interested to learn what it was like from a different perspective. I'm sorry I gave the impression that anyone was an opinionated loudmouth; it wasn't my intention, or my interpretation, at all.I, Rodiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199985322178825076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320959265040712836.post-25210691111502786442010-07-12T09:34:02.521-05:002010-07-12T09:34:02.521-05:00Talk about judging someone you don't even know...Talk about judging someone you don't even know! I'd rather be socially awkward than an opinionated loudmouth(could have inserted the B word here). Don't allow her 'opinions' to make you feel more awkward. Instead of a bowl of arrogance she should take a spoonful of compassion each morning and by doing so might be able to really listen to how someone is feeling & in turn try to make them feel less uncomfortable. Don't let one bad apple spoil your continued involvement.triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176093046888293244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320959265040712836.post-60666492468404731392010-07-10T15:46:36.782-05:002010-07-10T15:46:36.782-05:00If I was blogging at the time my oldest was Thumpe...If I was blogging at the time my oldest was Thumper's age, I could have written this post. Awkward in-home playdates were my norm. I don't think it has anything to do with male-ness, just hard to find someone you click with that makes the whole situation less awkward.<br /><br />And volunteering the bingo winner to watch *all* the kids of parents going? Extreme. <br /><br />(and my word verification is "holyrap" - take that for what's it's worth!) :)Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304497617228725441noreply@blogger.com
