Really?!?!
I know that some of you fellow momma's are going to be upset with me......but I could not stop and correct her. I was so appalled by what she said and I KNOW that what I would have had to say would not have been very nice. For those of you that know me very well, you know that I am not able to say something nicely but be steaming inside. I pretty much wear my emotions on my sleeve.
So, at that very moment, even though it would have been a good lesson for the daughter that was standing there, I didn't think it was appropriate to "lay" into that mom. Because I know that I would not have been too kind about it.
People.........stop using the "R" word!!!
Stop making excuses that you don't mean it in "that" way! I KNOW that you mean it "that" way because I have said it myself and I meant it in "that" way.
I am not going to act all "holier than thou" and pretend that I have not used the "r" word. I use to.......that was until I gave birth to my gorgeous baby girl with Down syndrome. I really didn't think about the word being offensive to others until Madi was born. And part of that is because I had no one that brought it to my attention. If someone had stopped me and corrected me about what I said, I definitely would have thought about it in the future.
So, this is me bringing it to someone else's attention........stop using the "r" word!!!
It is offensive to my daughter........and when you mess with my daughter.....momma bear comes out in full force! So Beware!!!
Here is a great video about the "r" word. (Need to pause the music at the bottom to hear it)
