• Hi I'm Nicki! I have a wonderful 6 month old son, and my hubby and I have been married almost 5 years! I like the other moms here have been appalled at the number of moms who suggest CIO for kids as young as mine.

• Hi!  I'm kelly, a 26 yr old sahm of one 7 month old boy.  i've been married just over 5 years.  i am really into the love and respect, no spanking, cio... and pro life, EBFing, co-sleeping, baby wearing, AP (as best as i know it so far...)  i get lots of "opinions" on those subjects and i'm annoyed by them.  lots of those are from my husband and that's frustrating because he has no foundation besides what others tell him.  i feel like if i had a friend over who was trying to tell me that they were uncomfortable or hungry i would do my best to accomodate them so why wouldn't i do that for my own child?  i am in love with being a mom and am really happy to have found this group.  it's nice to have support in the things you're passionate about...  looking forward to talking with you all!

• Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm Stephanie and am a mom of two very challenging boys. They test me every day but I think, and have proven that you dont have to beat a child to get them to listen to you!!

• Hello all.  My name is Daniele.  I am happily married and the mother of a 15 month old boy.  I am all of the above-cosleeping, child led weaning, non cio, non spanking, etc.  I do work full time unfortunately, but I am a CPS Investigator. I have never admitted that in any group before, but I feel like I will not be bashed in this group, or shunned because of it (I hope I am right).  I would love to stay home but financially cannot afford to.  However, I know my child is safe with my mother while I am at work making sure the other children in my community are safe as well. I look forward to posting for advice and not receiving answers such as CIO or spank him.

•    I'm Shaunte' and I'm 23 yrs old. I'm a supermommy to two B-E-A-U-tiful girls-- Victoria and Aubrey. I'm also a single parent and proud of that choice. I've been an AP parent since my oldest DD was born and probably just never knew that's what it was lol! I’m now re-vamping my discipline style with great passion! I saw a blinky cruising CM one day that read, “Love SHOULDN’T HURT’. I felt so convicted b/c for quite some time I’ve thought the same thing. This was just the jumpstart I needed to kick my plan into gear. I EBF my 1st DD for 6 mths(< TY hick KY doctors  ) and am EBF my 2nd DD until she weans. I also plan to HS my oldest DD starting next year! With my 1st DD, I never thought twice about BF, co-sleeping, or having her constantly attached at my hip (<- we didn't have a sling at the time, but have a WallaBaby w/ A-D), and I've continued the same with my 2nd. My family however, has a completely different mindset about my parenting choices. They believe in spanking, CIO and FF. I'm sure this will eventually lead my DDs and I to being a bit distant from them, but my girls deserve the best!
     Right now I'm working full time and taking classes full time (online) but by August, I plan to be a WAHM b/c I know my girls still need me. It's a struggle and I HATE IT, but we run a family owned in-home daycare. So, even though I disagree with a good 75% of my godmommy and family’s thoughts and practices, (<- we argue constantly about MY children and the way I want them raised) at least my girls are with family while I'm away. WOW, I realize now how long winded that was, but it's great to have the support of other moms just like me! That's why I joined!
