That being said, we also need to be aware that our community-builders can be minefields if we're not careful. Nothing like making people feel awful when you're trying to make them feel welcome!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996076537007147834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939004715070642189.post-38691726071048130292008-02-08T07:09:00.000-08:002008-02-08T07:09:00.000-08:00Ugh.

And honestly, the cultural norm for the people I work with is to have kids at a younger age, and so they generally act really confused as to how I've made it to 31 and haven't had any kids yet. <BR/><BR/>Somehow, seeing pregnant people or babies doesn't really bother me, but having to answer those types of queries really irks me. Sometimes, I really wish the world would just BACK OFF with the kid questions!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939004715070642189.post-62007544971059798082008-02-08T06:51:00.000-08:002008-02-08T06:51:00.000-08:00I had four books for several years that I had chec...I had four books for several years that I had checked out of the local university using my best friends card when we were in high school (you could get a community card to check out university books.)I returned them when I was a junior or senior in college.<BR/>How sucky to have to go around and talk about kids.Iohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918928563224342054noreply@blogger.com
