i mean every darn question i post someone has to make some rude, judgemental comment whether its regarding bottle feeding or cosleeping etc. i just dont understand why people are so judgemental on this..how does me putting my 7 week old in bed with me for a half hour before i leave for work in the morning really effect anyone else???
fishes: what the eff, you are confusing me with someone else. i have never given him tea
because everyone loves to stand on their soapbox.
***fishes: in some households outside the US, “Tea” means supper…***
WHUT! You go to work!
i agree with you to a point. you are asking other peoples opinions and they are giving you theirs. i understand the co sleeping i see that if you do it like that it will get to where he wants to be in the bed with you 24/7 my son has slept in the bed with me twice and it was because he was sick. i wasnt going to stay in his room all night and he was better with me. neither time was at night it was when he woke up at like 5 and he usually sleeps til 7 or 8. another thing is the feeding i thought you said 7 months and i thats why i was saying at night he didnt need to eat at 7 weeks they do! btw you said you gave your baby tea. other people are going to be concerned especially if you are saying that he is only 7 weeks!!!! that is sooo bad for him youre ruining his liver. im not criticizing hun im caring about your babys small tiny smaller than his fist liver!
Because there are a lot of people out there who have never learned the meaning of the phrase ” Live and Let Live”
You do what you think is best for your child. That is all you can do. If you need advice ask, but it doesn’t mean that you have to follow it.
I hear it all the time from other moms about my 3 y/o, he still uses a pacifier. Almost everyone I know has advice on how to get him off and how he should be off of it by now. I figure, when he is ready, he will give it up. He only uses it at home and bedtime now. He isn’t going to graduate with the damn thing in his mouth.
Because the biggest competition between women is who raises their kids better, and if a buttoned up mom sees another mom yell or spank their child they may become offended… to be honest.. I think that people should be allowed to raise their kids how they want and others shouldent intrude on their lives and say what they are doing is wrong.. unless you get to the point where the parents are like intentionally beating their children ect..
I have heard that spoiling your children is only a problem when it becomes a problem. As long as you don’t mind spoiling them, what’s the problem.
I don’t plan on having my first child for another year (finish college first). But I do have a cat, and we give him a saucer of milk every time he asks for it and it doesn’t bother us at all, so it isn’t a problem.
It doesn’t. People just like to feel like they’re better than others.
Are people really judging or giving simple facts or opinions that are being taken as people being rude or judgemental? When you ask a question to such a large group of people whom are from all different communities, backgrounds, etc. you are going to get a lot of different opinions and people that think your way is right or wrong.
I guess because everyone likes to think that their way of parenting is the best way, and that’s why they do it that way. Some people just need to realise that every parent does what they think is best for their kids and what works for them. What works for you wouldn’t necessarily work for me, but everyone is different. Don’t pay any attention to others’ judgements, just keep doing what you’re doing!!
i don’t know why even in the real world when i was pregnant, i swear i couldn’t go anywhere with out some woman telling me i had to breast feed, or i had to have the baby natural with no meds, or that i can’t take medicine being preg, it was crazy, even personal questions like you aren’t having sex during the pregnancy are you,
so i think maybe it’s because they wish they had done something different with their children so they are trying to force you to do it, but it does get better, my son is 6 months and now people don’t really comment too much on my questions, and in the stores people just say “he’s gorgeous” and let it go
oh, and i put my son in bed with me to get him to take his 3:30 nap, he won’t go to sleep alone and he falls right to sleep with me at 3:30. but he takes his naps alone the rest of the day, so what does it hurt
and it’s no ones business what you do with your baby, you are a good mom, and how you raise your baby is your and your hubby’s business only, good luck
