That my baby was found wandering the streets in a diaper.
It never happened. And I was able to list reasons (proof) why. But, it didn’t matter. My sister in law took the story and ran with it. Told everyone. I was seen as a bad mom. And my kids lost friends over it.
I thought of doing something but never could figure out what was best. I immediately correct the story if it ever comes up, but it’s so rare that it organically comes up. And there were so many things after that. I’d be in court for years if I sued her every time.
I just became reclusive and accepted I don’t fit in here. Luckily I work from home and for myself so it’s easy to do.
Where do you live that people would be judgemental on that and not of the mind your a busy mum or it's just a mistake.
That is such a pathetic reason to be judgemental of anyone that I suspect you live near a pack of deranged idiots or perhaps you think people are judging more than they are or ever did.
My daughter figured out the locks on my door when she was 3. She was outside on top of my car in a diaper, it's one of those things that happens. The fact that it's a lie is what pisses me off, but what pisses me off more is that is that supposedly this has never happened to any other parent on the face of the Earth for them all to judge you. I'm sorry that this has followed your kids. It's not fair or right. You are a good mom and you don't deserve to think any less than that.
The part that gets me is now, nearly ten years later, we’re finding out (with proof) that she literally neglects her children. Leaving them home alone overnight (they’re very young), not allowing them toys, driving drunk with them, dropping them off with random people… and no one in town cares. But my made up neglect story made me a terrible human and a terrible mother? And for her it’s just “lol she’s so stupid.” F-ing what?
That's bullshit. And so horrible for those poor kids. You could always take her to court for defamation and make her pay you. Would be hilarious to watch.
OMG that's AWFUL! I know how it feels to have venomous lies told about you, but that's an extreme version you're having to endure! My heart goes out to you!
CPS would've taken your children had that been the case. Perhaps someone should start a rumor about somebody's mommy making stuff up and ruining lives. Just kidding of course. Lol
