I don't know what your hot hubby looks like (but I believe you that he is lol), I'd never heard of GOMI, and I didn't know you just had a baby+your mom was sick (prayers for your whole family). You write so well and I already admire you. With that being said, hi.

I'm praying for her. <br /><br />I just found out about GOMI... ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. I'm not sure how someone could make a living bashing other people like that. It seems that if you post happy things, you're fake and ridiculous, and if you post honest hard-felt difficult things, you're attention seeking and dramatic. Ridiculous. Forget the haters, and know that most people give you the benefit of the doubt.

There are some witty, clever gals but it's like they are using their critical powers for Eeevil. ( I'd love to read a version of GOMI that had all the cleverness but none of the "Eww, her floor is so dirty!/hair lanky blah blah eeevil) I'm so tempted to start my own forum thread on GOMI with the subject being all of the regulars posters. We could all critique their critiques. Ahh, but where would it end? Such a nasty vortex of snarkiness. Like you said, Rosie, it's a way of thinking. I was so impressed that you actually waded in and posted on GOMI. Gutsy! and you were really civil and magnaminous. It's so easy to hate folk from a distance and there is nothing more powerful then wading up to your enemy and going "HI! I'm that person you said rude stuff about. Let's chat." And I loved that a GOMI-regular said shortly after your completely decent post "I'm not so keen on bloggers posting here". Nothing like a real-life blogger to kinda wreck that echoey bathroom gossip session vibe. Anyhow, power to you both. Nastiness always has it's own story but I think you've both dealt with it beautifully, in your own ways. i.e. Sweetness and gentleness, and HASHTAG BITCHES!

SO I checked it out and its obviously one of the bad things that this wonderful internet has cranked out. But even though that stuff hurts those people will find the bad in anything. <br />I found your blog through Grace (Camp Patton RIP) but honestly you two are great and have been such an inspiration to me though this crazy hard amazing motherhood thing I've been doing. I currently have 4 kids, among my friends with 1 or 2 who are sometimes annoying about my "huge" family and my mom died 4 years ago and wow I need to pull it together but I am happy that I get to read about your journey and realize that it is kind of like mine and it is awesome! Even reading above I love how you owned your life, that is what I really and truly love about you and your writing! So thanks a million and please don't disappear, unless you really need to.

As someone who has quietly been following your blog (read: life) for the past two years (creepy?), I recently started following you on snapchat too and saw your snaps reading GOMI. I looked it up confused (does that make me creepier than those people writing on it? lolol) and I was really disturbed and the whole thing made me feel weird. How miserable are those peoples' life- like how do people get off on negatively twisting things to hurt other people? Especially about your blog which is so inspiring and helps so many people. It so sad. Anyways, I'm glad you wrote this and addressed it because its just another genuine example of how awesome you, your blog, and family are. Your ability to be so honest and not give a flying f is SO refreshing and your happiness is never doubted! So go you and your bedraggled hipster kids and hot hub !!!
