Great post! Moms need all the support that they can get! My teacher used to say that “there is a difference between being constructive and destructive, and we need more of the former” – the Similac Sisterhood of Motherhood sounds like an encouraging step in that direction!

Good for you! I’m a rebel by nature and do what I want regardless of what people think.

I learned very early on in my life, not to listen to anyone’s garbage. When I had my daughter, it intensified since I was a formula feeding mother. A lot of people had a lot to say, and I spent very little time worrying about my choices.
Good for you, girl! Moms need to support each other, not judge. But if they can’t, just ignore and go about your parenting business!

Great, great post. Fear of judgement is crippling. It often stops of from doing great things, because we’re afraid of failing or of others’ opinions.

I am working on this too. I definitely believe that parenting is a personal choice and if we aren’t harming our kids we should be free to raise them how we see fit.

You handled the situation correctly. I don’t know why people think they have to meddle. They got the opportunity to raise their children and now they need to bow out. I’m a grandmother and lots of times I see things I don’t think is going to work out well but the fact is that we learn from our mistakes and everyone should have the opportunity to parent the way that works best for them as long as the child is not being abused.

I learned a long time ago to stop caring what other people think. You have to do what is best for you and your family! This is a great, positive message to spread 🙂

Dealing with criticism from another generation is not easy to overcome. Good for you for having the confidence to keep doing it your way!
