Before I was a mom, here's a list of things I WOULDN'T EVER DO:
1. Cosleep. Nooooope. Our baby would always sleep in his/her crib no matter what. We certainly weren't going to create bad habits. If we needed to get up and rock baby back to sleep eight times a night, so be it. That's parenting. REALITY: This hussy ain't going down? Fuck it. Bring her in bed. NOW. Bring her in bed before she gets more worked up. Ah, cute baby in my bed!!! Wait, anonymous baby, stop kicking me in the head. please. Ok, that's it, pillow fortress time. Paci. Blanky. Ducky. Zzzzzzzz.

I should admit-- it may not seem like it, BUT I love mommy groups. Well love/hate them. I think we should just all admit how absolutely ridiculous we're being at least 30% of the time and we'd all play much nicer. I'm already a ridiculous person so I'd just rather other people join me. It's too much work to be mature and sane all of the time.
You might find that I joke here and there about "mommy extremists" especially when it comes to the topic of breastfeeding. As someone who did breastfeed and found the struggles and joys in it, I remember how the extreme judgment felt but I also remember the difference support made. So while I poke fun, it's not at the act of nursing itself, but the obnoxious way in which other people feel they must attack individuals regarding the choice to breastfeed or not. |
