Truth be known, I just went with my heart. And I'm happy to say that so far my two year old is incredibly well adjusted and I think it's because I have raised her according to her specific needs and personality. Mommy For President is a great way to put it!! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-469149673129270942010-06-14T03:27:12.436+10:002010-06-14T03:27:12.436+10:00I completely agree!

I posted something like this on my blog - http://www.ingenuemom.com/2010/05/lets-hear-it-for-parents-who-feed-their.html<br /><br />I don't think there's anything wrong in moms sharing what has worked for them. I've love to hear advice! But what I don't like is when someone thinks that what they did is the RIGHT way to do it. I'll take in different types of advice because I'm a first time mom & don't know yet what will work. But what works may be different than what worked for someone else. I've had a lot of success with scheduling & sleep training, but I have a good friend who has done more attachment parenting & cosleeping & is perfectly happy with how their sleeping & eating has worked out. I feel like both of us are just moms doing what works best for our families & our babies!!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905013570660801371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-2445234689077812292010-06-11T06:43:34.876+10:002010-06-11T06:43:34.876+10:00You go Girl!!

I'm always amazed at how many people seem to know what's best for my child and feel the need to tell me.<br /><br />I found it sometimes takes courage to take a choice you know others will dissapprove of (We recently struggled with the decision about whether to get our child a helmet because she has a flat head) - but in the end you just have to go with your gut and do what you think is best.<br /><br />Great post!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581172582234851178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-8427510569655000062010-06-11T03:25:07.056+10:002010-06-11T03:25:07.056+10:00You are SO RIGHT!

I want there to be a right and a wrong for everything! But now I've realized I have to be the one who determines that :) Great post!

I even had people saying I was decorating my nursery wrong for my baby. <br /><br />The books and websites most always say "Every baby is different" but yet there are so many lists of black and white that its hard to keep up. <br /><br />Currently, Joss is enjoying being in mommy's arms. She likes people and usually sits well in other's laps, but she is in her stage of feeling safe with mommy, so that means she cries in some people's arms (mostly my mother in law's). Which now means I get the "Oh, mommy must spoil you, you need to learn to be happy in other people's arms". I usually retaliate with, "No, she's just very loved and typically she does enjoy other people." <br /><br />The condescending remarks seem to never end, but at least I know that everything I do for my baby is out of a deep sacrificial love and you can't ever go wrong there, right? ;0)Jhen.Starkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731079023004004203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-83779292391694857902010-05-10T21:18:05.442+10:002010-05-10T21:18:05.442+10:00thanks jane! no, that's not condescending at a...thanks jane! no, that's not condescending at all - it's encouraging! thank you. :) isn't being a mom so fun and so amazing? 32 years coming for me but it was definitely worth the wait. do you have a blog too? xAdriel Bookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128519182850037060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-29144584938981115492010-05-10T19:53:21.918+10:002010-05-10T19:53:21.918+10:00hello dear adriel, if i write to say that i am so ...hello dear adriel, if i write to say that i am so proud of you - does that sound condescending? (i don't mean to be.) i think that your heart and your head are telling you GOOD things. this is your babe, that you share with YOUR babe and together you 'do life' AND life is ever changing. the fact that it changes and our children change continuously means life is interesting and challenging! i'm loving your pics, your writing, your recording levi's new life. love jane mama of noey and ariJane in whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655793303482840921noreply@blogger.com
