This just floors me. I cant even believe the way people in this world judge a MOTHER!  Before, it did not matter whether you breastfed or formula fed your child as long as it was fed.

Now if you breastfeed, you are criticized for doing it in public.

If you formula feed you are depriving your child.

If you put a harness on your kid so it doesnt get lost, stolen or ran over, you are treating them like a dog.

if you spank your child, you are abusing them.

If you dont spank,  your kids are out of control brats.

If you feed them organic foods you are simply nuts and are risking their health.

If you dont feed them organic foods you are simply nuts and are risking their health.

If you are a SAHM you are lazy and just dont want to work.

If you are a working mom, you dont give your child the time or attention they deserve.

Do you see what Im getting at? Nomatter how or what you choose to do as a mother, its always wrong in someone elses opinion. (which we are all entitled to) As long as I see a loving mother that does what she can to take care of her babies, I could care less how she chooses to do it. We are all mommies and we are all different. I accept that. i JUST WISH MORE PEOPLE SEE IT THE WAY I DO!

(I knew if I posted this elsewhere, Id get accused of wanting to start drama) I just had to get that all out! Whew.........I feel a little better.

You are so right. And its not starting drama, it's stating how things are. Glad you feel better.

That is why you don't pay any attention to those people that judge, and carry on raising your family the way you wish.  The criticism has always existed, you probably just didn't notice until you had children.

jajum...
Yea for you!!! We were just discussing this same topic in one of my groups!!! We have a rare group that we all agree to disagree and help each other instead of tearing  down. I think in almost the whole year we have been a group there have been TWO times with drama!!! It was quickly contained and taken care of!!!!! Anyway, yes we all need to accept that no matter what we personally believe, not everyone does, but that doesnt make them wrong and you right nor you  wrong and them right!!!! It just is...
