It’s the holiday season. People are supposed to be in good spirits, polite and cheerful, but I’m seeing a lot of negativity out there. I’ve seen five posts in the past two days about how if people only write happy, positive things on Facebook, Twitter and Blogger, then there must be something wrong. They claim that you can’t possibly be that happy, so you’re faking it. While I don't think any of it was directed at me, it just kills me. I’m a positive person. I like to share the good things. I do rant every now and then, more often on Blogger than on Facebook, but I generally try to keep things light and happy. Why shouldn’t I? Why would I want to be like those people that I’ve unfriended or unfollowed who do nothing but complain? I like my life. I’m thankful for my healthy kids, happy husband, good friends and the nice things I have.
My sister wrote a pretty hilarious status update on Facebook about how she sang the entire theme song to Friends and her husband looked at her with a blank stare, having no idea what the song was from. She wrote, “I don’t want to be one of those wives who criticize their husbands on Facebook, but I have to share this...” She got a comment from a friend that said, “When women only say nice things about their husbands, they obviously have marriage problems.” WTF?
I never said that my life is perfect, but who really cares about what I’m currently annoyed with, how bad Nolan’s terrible threes are, or what I last nagged Jacob about? (Milo really is perfect, I never complain about him). Personally, I think that if all you do is gripe about your job/relationship/life, then you are the one with the problem. Especially if you are constantly talking trash about your spouse. That screams marital problems.
