how to deal with the judgemental?

[newmummy27]

Hi
just recently i have come across people in general who i feel are judgemental of me being a single mother.

also i came across a lady at work who suggested i work more hours as she did this and that to get more hours in. Yes, that is all very well and good but i dont have my DH coming home at night for childcare.

are some people just totally unaware of the practical side of being a single parent? she also has supportive parents. I dont

I am ranting really as i could quite happily strangle her but due to lack of confidence and assertiveness which has been draning out of me by ex i really just need other in the same position to back me up? please?

She's not judging you, she just isn't understanding you.

And she probably won't unless she splits up with her husband.

Agree with colditz. This is nothing about being judgemenatl, if anything she was probably trying to be helpful

You need to get a thicker skin. Lots of people judge others whose circumstances are different from theirs and they don't always appreciate quite how different their lives are from yours. I'm just recovering from a run in with ds's HT who seems to think I can attend school at the drop of a hat.

I think there are ways of saying things and i dont feel she was saying it in a helpful manner unfortunately.. perhaps i am wrong, and it is because of the way i feel?
what are good ways to deal with anger?
