I've read a lot of posts on this topic lately - and I think it's interesting many of the same people complaining (I'm not referring to you, this is my first visit to your blog) are the very people who are the absolute worst cybercrapheads. I made a decision about a month ago that I would just rather stand alone than waste one more smiley on someone who wasn't playing nice. I'll give my energy to the good people. In thirty years, chances are I won't know half of them anyway... except the true friends. And exactly on being friends with men... it's why I always have been - and it's why I still am. I just thank God I have an understanding husband who trusts me heart and soul. Otherwise I would be screwed. Excellent post. xo I’ve been in the crosshairs quite frequently for years.

And exactly on being friends with men… it’s why I always have been – and it’s why I still am. I just thank God I have an understanding husband who trusts me heart and soul. Otherwise I would be screwed.

Excellent post.

I may be a guy, but the same stuff happens. You confide something, and the next thing you know, the whole town knows, though it doesn't help there's only 300 people here, and EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY. Great post. :D Twitter @thattalldude So true. I may be a guy, but the same stuff happens.

What I don't understand is why if you don't want to read someone you just don't read them? I don't get it. I haven’t experienced this first hand but I’m sure it goes on.

I don't know how bloggers do it when they have two hundred comments that tell them that they suck. I can't stand one, but maybe I need a thicker skin. Girls can be sooo mean- great post!

For pretty much the same reasons as you, I've always preferred hangin' with the male species. I have only a couple true, trustyworthy girlfriends. And that's enough for me. I like what John commented...Chicks are Drama! It is so true - and I do my best to keep the drama at bay. One of the biggest reasons I don't find myself part of many (if any) "Mommy groups". It's just high school all over again - but with tots in tow! You are an amazing woman! It comes through loud and clear in your blog...keep on keepin' on! ;) Yeah, I feel your pain.

But when drama comes into the mix, it's really hard not to just throw in the towel. There IS a reason high school ends, right? I'm so sorry you had to be involved in or witness a virtual catfight that brought these feelings to the surface for you. As Melanie said, you are such a positive, encouraging influence on our community. I don't understand how anyone could have ANY problem with you EVER! I was happy to see Steph nominate this post as a Perfect Post for April. It is a truly deserving post. And you, as always, have approached this subject with the dignity and wisdom that I so appreciate and love about you!

They meet every Wednesday for coffee & a playgroup. I hated it. They just talked smack about those Moms who weren't there that week. And ....I'm being honest....I had a hard time not judging people on their parenting. I figured until I was ready to not judge, I shouldn't attend. It would be too easy to get sucked in to the drama.
