What to do when some opinion about parenting has offended a mommy friend? Not sure who is offended.

It depends on what happened OP. Were you offended? Did someone offend you?

Apparently I did the offending, but don't really know many details. I'm not even sure who is upset, just heard that someone(s) is/are upset by something I said.

My typical response to those kinds of things are to allow that person to own their own feelings. That person (whoever it may be) needs to be emotionally mature enough to either discuss what has offended them, with you (not the nebulous mommy collective) or move on. It sounds harsh, but how else could we maintain sanity and balance?

honestly? I don't worry about hearsay and rumors. shrug.gif Sounds like whoever is telling you this is just gossiping and fanning the flames. If you ever do get the details then it can be addressed by talking to the offended party.
