Our first Anonymous Comment

you are definitely not ready. you sound SO stupid. "everyone else is having them and i feel left out"?!! this is not a competition. This is a human being and the rest of your life. i dont think you will ever be "ready" to have a child but if your whole purpose in having one is because everyone else is doing it...then please do us all a favor and jump off a cliff. this is personal, it is between you and your husband and hopefully God. If no one else ever had children would you feel less inclined? I think you need to grow up.

You know you're a big deal when.... 

you get your first angry anonymous comment.

We realize we can't be sheltered by every negative comment out there.  We chose to put ourselves out there to share our {trulie scrumptious} lives with all of you.  We encourage and respect our readers to have their own opinions, but NO ONE needs to hear that they should take their own life because you don't agree with what we've written.  At that point, maybe you shouldn't be reading our blog.  If you do feel the need to divulge in a negative comment, own up to it by telling us who you are.

"sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me." 

Whoever wrote that obviously never received an anonymous comment on their blog.

 I wish I could say I'm that tough girl who doesn't let things get me down, but I'm not. 

Sometimes I'm a lot more sensitive than I'd like to admit.

 I wrote a post about my mixed emotions on having a baby. I wish now I wouldn't have deleted it because it was straight from my heart. All my thoughts I've been having on feeling ready to have a child. 

But the second I saw that anonymous comment my eyes filled up with tears and I  didn't want to see it ever again.

 so I deleted it.

 But then I looked under my comment tab.

 and it was still there...

 I texted my sister and told her to go read it. 

She called me immediately and we were both crying because of these hurtful words that were written about MY feelings. At first I felt so angry and embarrassed that someone would write such offensive words about my thoughts. But my sister talked to me and told me that it was a good post and there are probably hundreds of other women who can relate to the way I'm feeling. She also made me realize that there are people out there who think differently than we do and they are entitled to their own opinions. We want our blog to be a place that woman can relate to us and help us get through our struggles.

I do regret deleting my post on a rash impulse due to that harsh comment.  Now that {one} person out there will never get to read  and possibly relate to the way I'm feeling right now. So although this comment made me cry, It taught me that not every person is going to think like me, or agree with the things we post on our blog or 
even LIKE me for that matter. 

 And that's OK. We want everyone to feel welcome to express their feelings on our blog.
We DO however ask you to keep your

 "do us all a favor and jump off a cliff" 
comments to yourself. 

If you do have a different opinion, please say it in a more 
{scrumptious} way. 
 So anonymous.. Thank you for your concern, but I feel like I'll be a wonderful mom someday.. when that day will be I'm not yet sure..

And I definitely won't be jumping off any cliffs anytime soon, so it looks like your stuck with me.. 

But a little advice for you:

next time you decide to leave an anonymous comment, I encourage you to stand behind your words, with a name... 

yours truly,

Rozalynn
