Just watch your wording please.

RULE OF THUMB

watch what you say.

Don't make it seem like a mom is wrong for doing etc etc.

Don't say another mom is wrong for not etc etc.
We all parent differently and we need to understand that.

If you're a stay at home mom , great!
But keep in mind that their is a lot of moms who work. Who also do raise their kids equally.

If you're breastfeeding mom , great!
But watch what you say. Such as " I cover up so I am doing it the right way/ the modest way"

Like I said we all parent differently. Don't judge another mom

Thank you!!! I will be an amazing mom, but I also really love my job.  I don't feel guilty about going back to work after the baby.  Even if my husband's salary doubled tomorrow, I would work.  I work because I want to. 

Sometimes these boards can make me feel like I am doing something wrong.

I love this too.  I plan on breastfeeding my baby but with all the breastfeeding hype I feel like I will be pressured to public breastfeed and I am not comfortable with that personally for MYSELF. I will be one of those moms who will be covering or only breastfeeding in the privacy of my home and formula feeding in public.

I don't think negatively on breastfeeding at all and will never bash another mom for public feeding because I don't.  I told a dear friend of mine I wasn't comfortable with MYSELF public breastfeeding and she got mad at me and said I was part of the problem. It was very hurtful.

So momma-to-be do what you need and feel right for your baby.

Hmmm. While I think this is a great thing to keep in mind, I can't really say that I've ever felt like there were  judgey moms-to-be on this particular board.

Haha!! You clearly missed out on our first "UO Thursday"...


but in all seriousness, this board really has been pretty good so far.

Kudos to OP for this post. Unless someone is doing something potentially dangerous to themselves or their baby why not just let them be?

I just want everyone to understand when you say something / word it wrong if offends people on these post. I've personally seen a few things so far .. That kinda threw me back like .. Hold up. That's all
