Give it a rest....Please!!

This is N-U-T-S!

Of course, I am all for information on benefits and risks when it comes to my health or the health of my kids.

In the end, I make the final decision. For the most part, I am happy with the choice. Although, there are times where I wished that I didn't have to make those choices.

We all have different families, with different needs and different issues. Just read the pro's and con's concerning your situation. Then, make your decision and don't worry about what the next person thinks. They are NOT in your shoes or living your life.

Okay, I think that I have said enough on this. Good day, ladies.

Jun. 16, 2008 at 11:47 AM This falls into the "Don't tell me how to raise my kids, because I sure as hell don't tell you how to raise yours" category! LOL  Now the question is how many times does it need to be repeated before SOME start to get the message?

Jun. 16, 2008 at 11:52 AM I'm not exactly sure what sparked this but you're right that each person has a different lifestyle, a different opinion, and also a different situation or circumstances from your own. You do have the final say in everything you do, but if you're asking for advice you're going to get a wide variety of opinions. If you don't agree with them, thank the person and tell them that it's not for you and go on. The person isn't meaning to tell you that you're an idiot for not doing what they advise, and if they are then they need to be reported and you should do so. If a person is cramming their ideas down your throat then tell them you really appreciate it but again, not your cup of tea and if they persist, report them. It's that easy.

KyansMummsie, I am just tired of hearing about the "right way" to give birth, feed your kids, discipline. We all have our versions of the "right" way. These things are all different because each one of us and our families are unique.

Instead, you have a bunch of ladies who think that they are righteous and holier than thou because they did or are doing things in text book fashion.

Why can't people leave others alone and you do your thing while they do theirs?

But, alas, many people think that they have a right to judge every little thing that you do because you are not doing it EXACTLY as the Dr. Spock book says. Then again, look where his advice got him.

And of course, there is the drama factor when things go south when you steam roll another mom for not complying with being anti-drugs in labor, anti-bottle feeding, anti-circumsizing and all of the other "anti's" that are out there.

One lady tried to bait me in to a brawl on one post. Didn't work. And I let her know that it wouldn't. Needless to say, she let me be knowing that she would not get a rise out of me. And all I did was state my honest and biased opinion to let each other do as they see fit.
