it has been a rough week of watching parenting trainwrecks in my personal life and i hope I did not offended anyone with the remarks i made below in the confessions post.
Heehee, I love seeing how many people view posts. Look at all of the people (including myselp) that thought this would be a drama post and had to check it out!
I was certainly not offended (though I know not what you speak of regarding this thread). Smoking is gross and I've learned to become accostumed to the looks, much like BFing in public. No biggie. That's why I say we shouldn't judge people; you never know why I'm standing on my porch smoking, you just think it's gross; but turns out I am smoking a butt so I don't shake my kids. If you look at it that way, it's almost lovely! ;P
And I read the other post apologizing for the remark about people whose kids are up all night and I agree. Though again, we shouldn't judge. My mom used to put us to bed really late (like 11 o'clock), because my Dad worked from 5 am to like 9 pm so we'd eat dinner when he got home and he'd want to spend time with us so we just went to be really late and slept in. Which, as I look back on it now, is a legitimate reason to keep your kids up. They're just on a different schedule. That doesn't stop me though, from rolling my eyes every time I'm in Wal Mart late night and there's a mother pushing around a cart with 3 little kids in it, all wide awake at 10 pm.
It all just goes back to you never know why other people do what they do so I have learned to try and curb my judgemental behavior. I have always been very judgemental so it's something I am working very hard on resolving.
Nope. I don't mind it. My mom disagrees with my decisions and parenting stuff, too. She just says what she wants and I just ignore her and we both know that that is how it works. To each his own.
Unless you are terrible to your kids. Then you suck.
