Was I a bitch?

NC as this is identifying

Last night a girl I used to work with on posted on FB something along the lines of:

'It makes me so angry when I hear parents complaining about their children! They need to realise how lucky they are and think of those of us who can't have any children and would do anything to be in their shoes'

I don't know why but it really annoyed me, I hated the 'judgyness' of if so I commented

I said something along the lines of: 'Being a parent is bloody hard work and I don't know anyone who hasn't complained about their children at one point or another. It doesn't mean we love them any less. I know it's horrible for women who can't have children but that doesn't give you the right to judge those who can. It's hard enough raising a child without people judging you all the time.

She then deleted her post and I felt a small victory but also pretty bad I just hate sweeping statements like that!

When they want something"*

You have nothing to feel bad about. Personally, I'd have left it but, we're all different

You should apologise. At least show some empathy.

She's probably gone through or going through something that's been tough. I often think the same thing, my son was very ill for a long period of time, and I would see people moan about their children, or their lives, when they didn't know how lucky that they were to have the life that they had, and healthy happy children!
A little facebook advice is, stick to posting positive stuff about your own life, and don't bother looking on anyone else pages. So many people post judgmental crap whist sitting behind their computer screens and don't think before they post.

OP i think you were very careful and moderate with your response, no harm done!

if someone posts on social media, they are just asking for opinions...whether you agree with them or not you are perfectly entitled to write what you like, as is she. If she didn't agree with what you said or was hurt by it, she could have answered you back or PM'd you.

You were not bitchy or horrible, just stating your opinion, which we are all allowed to do x
