Other boards
This is just a vent.
I feel like I need to just stop going on the bump boards. I feel like all it is about 50% of the time (at least on the baby boards) is underhanded judgmental comments. Judgement for BFing vs feeding formula, judging being a working mom vs SAHM, judging letting babies cry it out vs responding to every little peep. Even when its not outright judging, the comments made make me feel judged. Why does anyone give a sh!t about how other people raise their kids?
Do I plan on letting Hunter cry it out? Not right now. But far be it for me to judge the mom whose baby gets every hours all night. Do I work? Yes. But I would never assume my job is easier than a SAHM. Cripes. I don't know why this is aggravating me so much!
Blah blah blah. I think I'm just going to stick to this board from now on.
Re: Other boards
yeah...I stay with you girls! To each her own! Opinions are like A-holes...everyone has one and they all stink! ESPECIALLY on those boards! Here we work together and know that everyone is allowed to think however they want to think!
Some people are just "professional" moms and think they know best! Don't worry about it! We're here for you and do whatever you feel right for little Hunter and you as well!
I'm with you . . . I ditched those boards right after Bebe was born. I had supply issues and had to stop BFing . . . you would think I had murdered my daughter from the comments I received. Ugh.
IMO, most of those women on the bump boards are a bit kooky and seems like a lot of them lack common sense.
I think you get better advice and support here than on most of the bump boards for sure!
AMEN!
