Otherwise my head might just explode and that would be very fucking messy.
Some people are just arseholes. There is nothing you can do about their inherent arseholiness other than stand by with your mouth agape and wonder where on earth they learned their low life skills.
Australia, the lucky country, the land of the fair go, home of the tall poppy syndrome.
Where if you start to shine a bit brighter than all the other stars out there some lowlife will always come along and decide to start throwing a bit of mud.
anonymously of course
*sigh*
Well,
what can I say. firstly congrats on the wedding, Really, you drug your child at 3 am with panadol, didnt you watch today tonights segment on the effects of medicating our children for a “good” nights sleep, oh thats right you have sold out to ACA and Kellogs for a measly few words on allergy free breakfast. Luckily – you didnt make an “idiot” of yourself.
Selling out? Where on earth has all this talk about selling out come from? Veronica has always had advertising on her blog and has always worked with brands.
Drugging her child? For fucks sake. Amy was sick. You use paracetamol to reduce fever you idiot. You of all people should know that.
I am seriously grumpy today internet. Mainly because I am 99% certain I know who the anonymous arsehat is and that makes me very sad as well.
I am going to play in the garden today because I need to have my hands in the soil. I need to earth myself so that all the negativity is absorbed by the universe instead of fizzling around inside my head and fucking up my balance. And if you scoff at that as old hippy nonsense well then anonymous that is your loss and I advise you to remember that Mammon is a poor excuse for a god.
I really should follow my own advice to Veronica when dealing with arseholes, which is to stand a little taller, square your shoulders and be secretly pleased that you chose today to wear your teflon shirt so that the shit these arseholes fling, just slides right off.
But I am having a bit of trouble with that advice right now.
Deadshits.

I told you I’d come by for a visit. I love your daughter’s advice she gave you. We could all do some good if we follow it too.
Thanks Mena.
I just read that comment on Veronica’s blog.
WTF, some people have now sense of decency or common sense. It really makes you wonder why and how people can be some damn nasty.
It is because they are that consumed with jealousy and bile that they need to spew some out every so often Amy otherwise they would just go *pop* I hope no-one ever treats their daughter the way they treat mine.
It must be really hard for you to see it first hand.
I truly can’t understand how people like that can be okay with saying such horrible things. Would they say that to someone’s face? I doubt it. They are just cowards hiding behind a computer screen.
I drugged my feverish child at 2am… should we call that bastion of journalistic integrity, Today Tonight and tell them I’m a terrible mother too??
Teflon shirts sound like a great idea.
You didn’t! Glowless that is shocking. Did you *gasp* give them paracetamol to reduce their fever instead of letting them scream in pain?
That’s obviously someone with a grudge. I can’t imagine ever making a comment like that on anyone’s blog. It’s the lowest of the low.
I totally understand your anger, Kim. I would be furious, too, if someone said that about my child. I’m pretty angry as it is that anyone would say that about anyone, let alone Veronica.
I thing all you can do is ignore it and not get drawn into someone’s ugly jealousies….
Once I had written it out of my system Dorothy I was fine.
They do have a grudge and they also have a history of anonymous comments as well as passive agressive attacks on my daughter.
They also don’t believe that Veronica has a serious disability.
It is too sad.
Does it help that I always buy panadol even when my kids don’t seem sick for those nights when they wake up in the middle of the night with an earache or fever too? Does it help that most of us see Ronnie as an Australian blogging community pioneer and ambassador? As well as a model of “how to” balance all things bloggy/advertising/personal?
I hope your day in the earth helps. hugs xxxx
Thank you Bettina, I am much better now. The lioness within has calmed down and retracted her claws. (for the moment at least)
jeez it’s a sad day when tending to the medical needs of your child is seen as “drugging” them. if V would have let her scream in pain she would have been called out for that!
it’s a sad sign of them times how often we all have to wear our teflon shirts these days. it makes me wonder what kick people get out of being mean? there really is no need for it.
square those shoulders up AND stand tall – don’t let the haters get to you, they truly aren’t worth it.
~x~
You are right 🙂 thank you
Well clearly “Annon” never got their invite to be part of the “influential mothers group” hosted by Kelloggs bahahaha…its in the lost mail for losers section at the PO….
Meegs you dag, you make me giggle. They would have been able to attend as well as they are only a couple of hours out of Sydney. I don’t think it will be the only invite that goes astray either. 🙂
It’s a shame that some people still feel the need to snipe at Veronica from behind the curtain of anonymity. Possibly even sadder (for them) is that they are too stupid to realise that they can be tracked down by anyone with a bit of computer savvy!
Enjoy your day in the garden Kim.
xox
I know Sharon. I know.
some people need a good smacking with a 2 x 4!!!!
hugs to you and Veronica.xoxoxox
A 4×2 makes a very satisfying thwomp sound when you hit someone with one. (allegedly)
Some people are truly a waste of oxygen. And I agree with you about the therapeutic benefits of getting into the garden.
Having my hands in the soil is very therapeutic indeed 🙂
Writing such a comment is one thing, and hiding in anonymity is the lowest. I can imagine you’re mad, I would be too.
Thanks Jientje, I am much better now that I have had a moan on the internet :)x
Hi Kimmy. I do hope you find out who this FKNUCKLE is so IT can be silenced. xo
Ugh. Idiots abound. This is why I moderate comments.
This disgruntled tosser needs a dose of Shut The Fuck Up …. but wasn’t brave enough to say who they were so we could give them their ‘medicine’.
But then again, they get their medical advice from ACA so obviously they are not very bright.
I am personally very jealous of her trolls.
Because really, if someone suggests something absurd like that she’s not allowed to promote her blog, write her blog, post ads on her blog, or give her child medicine, then clearly their opinion doesn’t actually count!
Bile, that’s all it is, bile. Veronica has always been upfront about the advertising she poses on her blog. She’s also a business woman or sorts. The income may be modest, but from small things grow the bigger. The “sold out” comment suggests a lack of integrity in the way Veronica conducts her business/blogging. In reality she is a savvy yet considerate woman from whom we could all learn a bit about common courtesy. There is no lack of integrity in the way she conducts her blogging because she is transparent. Her own ethics are on display and you I know you have raised a beautiful daughter of whom you are immensely proud. She remains my bloggy big sister, despite the my twenty years on her!
I drug/medicate my child night and morning with epilim chrono, for otherwise he would die of status epilepticus.
Kim you and I are alike, I can feel all the way over here in the UK your wrath. Why because we cannot abide the thought, let alone the actions, of people who want to cause upset or harm to our loved ones. We can take it on the chin and bin it. But fucking dare to hurt someone we love then the feathers are flustered. It will pass. The anger will cease. Veronica is a strong, vibrant human being blessed with intelligence, beauty and humility. She will forgive poor soul annonymous because of her integrity and dignity. Its so unnecesary though don’t you think to deliberately try to cause upset.
You as you know really are not full of Hippy Shit, you are a sensitive, intelligent, human being. You have raised a beautiful, sensitive, wise daughter. Let us bloggers laugh out loud frankly at the utter nonsensical rubbish that Annonymous wrote. I think annonymous could do with some Kellogs products frankly, it would help cleanse their colon as they sure are full of shite.
Let the anger gently ease away, that crap is just not worth the brain space. Better spent creatively, adding beauty to a world that needs such things, to counteract the nonsensical ramblings of people like annonymous. For those who behave thus perhaps are having difficulties in dealing with the reality in their lives, preferring to hide behind a viscious tongue. I understand that each person is entitled to their opinion, in a civilised society it is something often taken for granted, free speech is a luxury we forget that people have lost lives so that we are able to voice our opinion without fear of persecution. The problem here it seems that annonymous has forgotten about respect, mostly disrespecting themselves frankly by their actions. When our language is so full of such beauty. Annonymous sounds so embittered, perhaps some counselling would help. How strange that from a comment that was intentionally nasty, all I feel is pity for an individual who appears to gain strength from such torrid behaviour. Perhaps cyber bullying is a form of self harm, where the culprit themselves is the ultimate loser.
So Kim, dear dear Kim, smile………… and we will smile with you.
