We all have them. The people who are intent on putting us down, criticising everything we do and just generally not happy for us. I have one. I won't write too much about them because they don't deserve my writing space. But this person is just intent on trying to make me miserable. Trying to push my buttons so they can have an argument. They even stooped so low as to criticise and challenge my parenting skills, to the point of threatening social services.
I'm not going to lie to you, the first time they did this, I was upset. Not by what they were saying but more that they had the front and audacity to say those things. How dare they? Especially when they've never met Henry nor seen how I parent him. It carried on for a couple of months and with the last interaction, I'd had enough and had to get the police involved because it was turning into harassment.
But once the dust had settled, I stopped and thought about it all. As a busy mother, I don't have time for people like this. I would rather spend my time playing with my son and enjoying his childhood, instead of wasting it on petty arguments with people.
I want mine and my family's life to be filled with positive people, unicorns and glitter! My life is a much happier and calmer place now I've gotten rid of that negativity. I want to set a good example to Henry and any future children I have. I want to teach them not to even entertain negative people or get sucked into their games! (that's another reason I'm considering home schooling but that's a different post altogether!).
If we all get rid of negative people, they can't feed off our misery and hopefully, they'll get bored and give up!
