Self Control
Why can't I seem to let things go? For example, today, when I was dropping Hunter off at camp, I saw two of the other mothers talking. Certain words caught my attention.
"shameful", "Hunter", and the phrase "must have been about 15 or 16 when she had him" all rang through loud and clear. Now, normally, I would just let it go, as I have been dealing with comments like this since I was pregnant with him. I understand that I don't look my age, but why gossip? I finished sayng good-bye to Hunter and as I left, I looked at both of them and said, "I'm 27. Hunter is 5. You do the math, if you can." and walked out. I didn't say it with a snotty attitude. I was very cordial. But why couldn't I just let it go and find a better venue in which to approach them? *sigh*
