There has got to be a book or website or something to point people to when they say the stupidest thing... I am so amazed at the somewhat rude comments people have said to us. Unfortunately most of these people are the ones closest to us... our family. Maybe I am just seeing these as rude comments when they ment it to be constructive criticism.
When we told the fam about Sprout, we pretty much were bombarded with Your not prepared, your not ready type of comments. We have said we are ready, and we might be naive at saying this, but we are saying "we are prepared" while still fully knowing that really we don't know what we are getting into. I just thought it was rude that that was pretty much everyones first comment instead of congratulating us/asking more about Sprout.
The other OMG rude comment was the other day when I told someone close to me the updated case info. This person came back with " You know I think it would be easier if you were to be placed with a child just entering the sytem" compared to a child that has been with his momma for 2ish years, then a foster mom for about that long, then possible to us. Ummmm....ok.... we will just think that through maybe a little more. Yes getting a child just removed from the parents will be so much better.(sarcasm).
