My Fashion Article Earned Me Some Haters

Clearly, I am an idiot.

I thought that writing a “light & funny” piece on the Top 5 Style DON’Ts for Hybrid Mom would be a pretty standard assignment.

I never thought I would be called out as a “bad writer, catty, judgmental and @#%^&*!”  But I was.

Why am I telling you this? Partly because it has been slightly consuming me.  Partly because I have never been involved in drama.  People, some of these folks HATE me.  Holy cow!

And I guess the biggest thing that is upsetting me is the fact that I am second guessing my writing skills.  When you insult people you don’t mean to insult, well, you have to either completely dismiss them or re-evaluate your own skills. So for a woman with classic nice-girl syndrome (READ: me), this situation is completely unnerving.  It is enough to make me want to drop the humor altogether. 

Has anyone else out there found themselves in a similar situation of doubt?  How did YOU handle it?
