I have written so many posts lately only to scrap them completely for fear of starting a mommy war. Are these controversial posts about circumcision or sleep training? Nope. One was about sensory play ideas for crying out loud. Somehow I convinced myself that some mother out there would think that I was looking down on her for not taking to Pinterest on a hunt for the latest craze in sensory activities. Seriously? This is where we are. Moms judging each other so intensely that I can't post a single thing without thinking about how someone will misconstrue my intention and make it about how someone isn't good enough.
Every choice that I make with regards to parenting is the best one for me. If I felt that my decisions weren't the best, I wouldn't make them. Does that mean that I judge everyone who does something different? Nope. If I post anything about breastfeeding, it doesn't mean that I judge someone who doesn't breastfeed. Just because I bed share and cloth diaper doesn't mean that I have a single issue with someone who doesn't.
Are there parenting decisions that I judge? Of course there are. Let's make a deal though, k? If I am writing a post about something that I am judging, I'll explicitly state that I disagree with it and why so that you won't have to guess or assume. Deal?
On that note...sensory post up next...
