Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Wow, it's so hard being a parent as it is and try to do what's best for you children without having others criticize you. As a non- mainstream mom who bed-shares (within the safe co-sleeping guidelines), practices attachment parenting and elimination communication and extended breastfeeding I suffered the slings and arrows of well-meaning friends, family and strangers. It seemed that my parenting style was up for abuse by anyone and everyone. Ouch! It hurt and I was bitter and defensive for a long time. I had mountains of research and studies to back up my practices and choices for goodness sake! How DARE they call me dangerous or ill-informed or abusive!! I only had the best interest of my child at heart. Most of the criticism came from uninformed people who would rather bash me than educate themselves. One day, I decided that I just had to let it go and live my life making the best choices I could for my family. I took a deep breath and attempted to let all their words just roll off my back. Most of the time it works :-) It just wasn't worth the energy it took to be angry and defensive. Now, I just strive to show the wisdom of my choices through the happiness of my family. Surely it's not fair that other people criticize instead of educating themselves to our choices; however, once I've stated our position and some facts to back it up, it's out of my hands and (for my own sanity) I have to let it go. I honestly feel sorry for that poor lady. She's living with blinders on. And what is that saying, " Before you look at the splinter in your neighbor's eye, be sure to take the log out of your own " or something like that :-) Hugs! -leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
