I find it so irritating when holier-than-thou moms find pleasure in criticizing other moms. Since when did that become okay? I mean, I get it if what the mother is doing is detrimental to her child/ren, but for something so stupid as being a working mom or SAHM, breastfeeding or formula feeding, doing IVF or adopted, or someone who has let their child watch tv before the age of 2??? OMG! Who gives a freaking care! You parent the way you want to, and let all other moms be for how they want to parent (unless they are doing something illegal or detrimental to their child/ren.) Geez...we get enough criticism from the rest of the world. Must other moms add to it??? BE SUPPORTIVE!!!!! And if you don't agree KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!
For the record...
I'm a SAHM, I formula fed, I chose adoption over IVF, and I DID let my kids watch tv (Baby Einstein, Super Why, Sid the Science Kid, Sesame Street, VeggieTales, Backyardigans, Wonder Pets, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) before they were 2. So there!! But if you are a working mom, you breastfed, you did IVF, and you don't/didn't let your kids watch tv before the age of 2, I'm happy that worked/s for you, and it's none of my business how you choose to parent. I will try to be as supportive as I can b/c moms need a cheering section!!
Getting off my soap box now. (But still very much fuming!!)

Preach it Girl! Some people don't have anything better to do than to bring down other people. I completely agree with you! We should all be supportive of each other!!! I'll be in your cheer section! I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Looking forward to your scrapbooking pages of the holidays! (For the record, I still haven't started and to some moms that would make me a horrible mother...)
