s/o judging

[sarack]

It is nice to hear others opinions and get a sense of what reactions u will encounter. In the end, I think we will do what we want.

I know people will judge, people have already judged. I just try to keep an open mind.

I do same thing, I want to get a general opinion and then do my thing. I just mean be confident in your choice and not let the negative/judgey people get you down. I find that now I'm a parent I'm way less judgey on people's choices and parenting choices as long as they aren't dangerous choices. Leashes for kids, I thought they were stupid and dumb. Now that I have a spirited toddler I get why people do it (although I can't bring myself to do it).

usually, even when I ask an opinion, I already have my mind made up any way, I just want to see if others agree, or see if they have a valid point that might sway me.

s/o leashes.. h HATES the idea of this. I think the little monkey backpacks are adorable.

I still don't like leashes but I get why people use them, and I'm not even a parent yet!

The gender norm thing is one of those things that gets me a little. Mostly it's "not for us".

Everything else I get that everyone out there is trying their best, and different parents try harder at different things.

Even on a tablet, I blame all wrong words in Swype

The other thing I've learned, especially talking with all the other April 2012 ladies is that there are multiple right ways of parenting since all children are different and all families are different.

this. and nobody is perfect.

i made a statement yesterday regarding my dwindling milk supply with a friend...and i had said "i'm really glad i never had to give her formula...not that formula is a bad thing, but it's a pride thing...." and she gasped and said "formula IS bad!! i'm glad you never gave it to her too!".....and while we're on the topic of "no judging", i judged her for that comment of judging so hard haha.
