The Golden RuleDo unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]The Golden Rule and Mean Girls(via)
This is something we learn very young as a child.How come we so easily forget this as adults???Being sick last week was one of the best things that could have happened.I was forced to relax, forced to think about my life, and forced to take a step back.I was not really posting on Facebook or Twitter, but I was still reading…And I was disappointed.
As a blogging community, we should take care of each other, help each other, defend each other But I didn’t see much of that.Instead I saw people leaving others out, name calling, stealing and being plain ‘ol rude.And all I could think about was….I would NEVER want my children to treat others this way or for anyone to speak about my children that way – so why is it acceptable that other grown women are acting irrational???I am disappointed
We are all very similar. We share our lives on our blogs. We strive to have a successful online shop. We are Moms. We are Wives. We want to build friendships.So why is there so much Yuck!

The blogs we write are Ours and we choose what we want to share.I am disappointed.“i don't care how "big" of a blogger you are. turn your damn music off.”This was an actual Tweet from last week. Really?!?I get it, you can say whatever you want to say – Twitter is a public forum, but Really?!?!?That is plain Mean and Disrespectful.Do I love going to other people’s blogs and having to put my computer on mute…no…But that is THEIR blog and if they want to include music, then so be it!
I am disappointed that people think this is ok.Everyone is Human.Everyone has feelings.There will always be someone prettier, smarter, funnier and better – but that’s life and that’s ok.I am disappointed.The Anonymous comments on blogs are getting out of control They are Hurtful and Mean.If you don’t agree, leave the blog, don’t read.
As a parent, I try to be a good example for my children.My oldest is in Pre-school and is learning how to treat others.We don’t say naughty things about others and we try to include everyone.
