I sometimes mostly love being an adult. I answer to myself, with the exception of my kids and husband. I can do what I feel is best fo me, and based on very well researched information and talks with The Marine am able to make decisions for the best of my family. I get grief from people about things, I take it as I know I do things differently than most. People mmust think that I just willy-nilly make things up and pull things out of my ass sometimes, they don't take the time to understand or listen. That's fine, I smile and go about my way of life afterall that's all you can do...but sometimes I just have to get out with it some where. I ask for respect in my decisions as I do respect you and yours. There are just a few things I really want.
1.) My children are not walking ticking time bombs. Sure we don't fully vaccinate our children. (Ladybug got up until 6 months then we just stopped, Mister got two at two months and reacted badly so we stopped) My kids are not going to give your vaccinated kids anything. I actually take care in this matter, if there is the slightest hint of illness we stay home until there is no illness at all. I wish other people did the same and returned that respect....then maybe kids wouldn't get so sick so often? If you are really worried about my unvaccinated kids spreading something to your vaccinated kids....you should maybe trust your vaccines better...If you are worried about my kids, don't be. I make sure they are fine....with healthy diets and foods, with keeping them home from bugs/with bugs, with boosting their immune system naturally.
2.) yep the kids both still breastfeed. I am not going around whipping it out or flapping them in the wind. mainly the kids nurse at home in comfort for them and myself. I totally understand it is not socially accepted in America, that's fine with me cause I am not the one who has my panties in a bunch over it. Did you know breastfeeding a toddler is good for them? well it is, my milk didn't suddenly change after the age of 12months, my milk still gives the goods! Both kids still enjoy it, I don't mind it so we continue... I want to make it past this cold season and into spring then think about suggesting weaning...but for now they both do it and I would love to not have to handle criticism for it. I have my facebook profile picture set up right now of Ladybug nursing as support for the facebook nurse in.... I am sorry if you get offended by it. I am not.
For now these two main things I have seemingly got more slack about lately so I ask for some respect. I really would like a day when I don;t have to stand up for my beliefs again please!
