There are a MILLION things I did with my older son that I would not do now (circ was one of them - little man is intact). I reserve the right to let go of any and all mommy guilt about those things because I didn't know any better.<BR/><BR/>I try not to judge other moms, because odds are they are just doing the best they can do at the time (this doesn't include things like beating a child, but bottle feeding could certainly fall here)<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty freaking happy when it comes to my body (at this second, ask me again later) and my semi-conflicted crunchy/mainstream self. Now: let's get these hormones in line and I'm back in business!<BR/><BR/>-CrystalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271347431615000101.post-92746493644947422008-11-22T12:18:00.000-05:002008-11-22T12:18:00.000-05:00I really relate to this post!

I am in this weird in between stage with all of them now that my 5 year old is a kindergartner I am reaching a whole new realm of having to meet other parents and set up play dates, when really the whole idea of doing anything other than sleeping is well, exhausting. I am glad that I have found this blog so that I can read about someone elses tribulations with mommyhood imperfections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271347431615000101.post-39016557579409399562008-11-21T17:17:00.000-05:002008-11-21T17:17:00.000-05:00holy crap, I kinda love this post. Truly. Now me, ...holy crap, I kinda love this post. Truly. <BR/><BR/>Now me, I had post-partum depression from a baby I lost last summer, but not from the one I had a few months back. But it's not easy any way you look at it.<BR/><BR/>Being a mom isn't like high school, where you atomically know where to sit in the lunch room. It's so much more complicated and people get way more uptight about their choices, so it's almost like you have to choose your words carefully until you really know someone. With my girls being older, it is a bit easier. But dam, first time moms are scary sometimes on the judgments. Heck by #3 you are just happy if you know where they all are at the end of the day. They are all alive= job well done.<BR/><BR/>-Issa<BR/>mom to 3, bottle feeder, co-sleeping with son, didn't with girls, organic food-ish, iffy about vaccines, circ'd the boy, hippy school...the list could go on forever, but basically I am a complete oxy-moron.Issahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309906249557761472noreply@blogger.com
