"Mommy-Shaming"
I can't believe that we act like this is a NEW thing. It's only more wide-spread because of social media.
I do believe "Breast is Best"

I think the US consumerism had twisted mothers thoughts so that they will give artificial and man-made products to children when they are literally DESIGNED to feed their own children.
I mean - there's a reason we don't give infants under 6 months water and under 12 months cows milk.
HOWEVER
I won't judge you for feeding your kid however you choose.
You do you.
I'll do me.
Do I care if you "extend breastfeeding" to 2 years, 3 years, 4 years?
Nope.
I have opinions about screen time, bedtimes, routines, and discipline.
No two families are the same, no two children are the same, and I honestly don't care what you do.* I just care what we do in our home.
*As long as child abuse isn't taking place. Then I care and I'm REALLY angry.*
Can we talk about this whole concept of "Mommy Martyrdom"
OH. MY. GOSH.
You are NOT the first mom who's nights been interrupted from a kid.
GET OVER IT.
Same with parenting styles, kid behaviors, and eating habits.
I swear, this social media culture had moms obsessed with being the very best all the time.
THEN, if you aren't, you're allowed to sit on the couch, drink a bottle of wine, ignore your kids, and bitch on social media about how being a "bad mom" is a good thing.
Uh....what?
I understand 'bad days'. Trust me, I really do.
But you know what? I'm never going to brag about how I am a 'bad mom' and I should be celebrated for being a 'bad mom'.
Because I refuse to be a 'bad mom'.
NO. What I am is a mom who is learning as my son is learning and growing as well. We are going to take a breath, sit down and try again. My son deserves better that what social media dictates.
So should your kid.
And I don't care how many kids you have.
When you become a mom - that's a 24/7/365 job.
Own it.
Now pictures of puppies
(I'm off my soap box now)
