Aren't we on the same team?
Wow, it amazes me how hard we are on each other, I'm talking about moms. We really are, we are awful sometimes. We criticize each others parenting skills, cooking, career choices, cleaning styles and so on. We suck. I can't say that I am innocent and that I haven't done any of the shit I just listed, but damn aren't we supposed to help each other out? I will never be completely innocent, but I can say I will have more empathy when it comes to mothers and their children after this year alone with my kids.
I love blogs, when they nap...I read lots of them and I it saddens me how moms don't understand each other. Who cares if you bottle feed or breastfeed? Or use cloth or disposable? Each mother needs to make decisions that are right for her because we all have very different circumstances.
I know how hard it is to raise kids, it is the toughest job I have EVER done. They make me the happiest I have ever been. But, I can also empathize with parents who have rough days, now I'm not talking abuse, I am talking about tired, crabby parents. I think it is important that our kids know that mommies and daddies have bad days too.
I'm not one to sugarcoat or put on a facade, it's hard work but it is so worth it. Sometimes I feel like I am going to go nuts, but I do my best. I promise from now on I am going to be a more understanding, adaptable and caring fellow mother. No judging.

The problem here is that "mothers" are WOMEN! What do women do the majority of the time? Gossip!!
I think it just comes out of wanting to think you are doing a better job than other people, it happens. Has happened probably since cave men times....not that it makes it any better...but it's just one of those things people do, sometimes before they even realize they've done it I imagine.
