Outraged Parents
It seems that my recent post on Pacifier Separation has lit a fire under a select few parents out there. Now before everyone get’s their underwear in a twist, let me specify one thing.
Parenting is confusing business. There is always more to be learned, more experiences to be had. And EVERY SINGLE CHILD IS DIFFERENT.
This is where I think some parents make mistakes (and I’m not placing blame, I’ve done it myself). Everything I put on this website is mere suggestion. It’s relaying to other parents what has worked for me, and what hasn’t. It is explaining to people how ALEX responds to things. I am not Dr. Spock (did he even HAVE kids?), I am not a child psychologist. I am a mother. Pure and simple. And because I know that my child is an individual, I do not pass judgement on those who choose to do things differently than I do. We all must raise our children based on our own beliefs and ideas of what will work. If we were to meet sometime in the future, I can promise I will not judge you based on how you choose to raise your child, and all I ask is the same in return. I offer these tips and ideas simply to provide exasperated parents with new and different ideas that they might not have thought of before. I also use this site to share stories with other parents who have been there, seen that and laughed themselves silly in the process.
Parenting is a snot ridden, poop filled, mashed up mess of an obstacle course. It is the most amazing, most hilarious, most tiring job any of us will ever have. And we can’t help but enjoy every second of it. So let’s just all sit back, take a deep breath, and agree that disagreeing doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
