Why am I so angry?

Why would I start a blog called "other moms suck," you may ask. Here's the answer - many of them do. This is not because I'm a perfect mom. Far from it, which I guess is the point. I don't need every overachieving mom in the park giving me their "advice" veiled with an all-knowing smile. What prompted me to start this whole thing is the first place seems simple & innocent: my son's skin tone.

I have one 4-year-old blue-eyed blonde child with a somewhat fair complexion and a baby boy who has dark hair & eyes, and naturally dark skin tone. That's right, naturally. So enough with the "wow, he certainly is tan for a baby" remarks, which can be translated to: "You need to use sunscreen."

Hey, helpful - if you're going to share such nuggets of wisdom such as stating the obvious that everyone can see, feel free to keep it to yourself since I live with this child & clearly know what color his skin is. Further, if you wish to judge me, please have the balls to say something directly. Go ahead, tell me I really should use sunscreen so I can give you the verbal asskicking you so richly deserve.
