Criticism

I know that I don’t normally make appearances more than twice a week. But I think I should try to start (for 1) and for 2, THIS, I just had to share.

Business people taking notes in the business conferenceAs young moms, I think we are super vulnerable to criticism. From people who don’t have our job. From people who do. To and from each other in the dreaded mommy wars. We risk feeling vulnerable and criticized by our husbands who just don’t get what it is that we did all day.

Criticism is really hard to deal with. Especially if we are trying really hard to build up our relationship – whatever relationship that may be – through respect. But Nina blogs today about what to do in the face of criticism. You have got to check this out. I’m seriously thinking about printing it out so I can look at it and go through it. I, uh, don’t take criticism well. There I said it. So, I hope this is a blessing to you as it was/is to me.

Happy Friday, lovelies!

What do I do when he criticizes me?

I get literally gobs of questions from women every month, and at the core of them is the above question.
