So anyone wanna tell me what all the hoopla is about parenting? Please let's fight about how we feed our babies, how long we breastfeed, how we carry our babies, how long they sleep, where they sleep, how they sleep, nuks, how long to let cry, not letting them cry, babywearing, SAHM, working mama, carseats, self-sooth, self-wean, blah blah blah. I could go on for hours. The most recent Time Magazine has put it all out there, setting the fire, and making it onto all the tv and radio stations. 

As a mama with a preschooler, toddler, and newborn I have heard it all. We get advice from everyone! What I've learned is to listen and take it all in as a "consideration". As a mom it's our choice what we do. It's our job to raise our child to the best of our abilities and no it doesn't matter how you feed them, just that they are fed. Are we totally forgetting the children with no parents? How about the ones that are starving? The ones that would love to be loved? Let's get our priorities straight people.

Cut yourself and your loved ones some slack. Lets stop de-grading each other and our parenting styles. How about just supporting all the mamas and being there for each other. Lord knows we need the support.

In the meantime lets hug our little ones, and raise them in a loving, Godly home.
