Finally My Resolution

 I have been working on my resolution for a littlw while now, I decided on it before the new year came in actually. Want to know what it is? Ready??

To not judge other mothers so badly for their choices

 I know I have done this way way too much in the past. Any time somebody did something I didn't agree with I would judge them, most often without knowing why. I used to not care why you could not breastfeed, I just saw you as a lazy mother who didn't care to try. I used to not care why you started your baby on solids early, maybe they have bad reflue and rice cereal helps. I used to not care why you choose to turn your baby forward facing too soon, maybe you just do not know that rear facing is 500 times safer. I used to not care why you choose to pump your new baby full of shots, maybe you 100% believe they are for the best. There are a lot of things I used to not care to understand why mothers did things unlike the way I did them, and I was taking a lot of things to heart. I have decided, finally, that I cannot mother every child out there and that I shouldn't try. People will make choices that they see as the best choices for themselves and their family, just as I do with my family. I am guessing people wonder why I make a lot of choices that I make because I do not follow mainstream parenting, that is fine by me, if you want to better understand I am open to talk about whatever. By talk I also mean you not preaching to me about your views, an honest open conversation is what I mean.

 I am also trying to do better at understanding what drives people to make their parenting choices. Example this one day I wondered why a new mom choose not to breastfeed their new baby (who was having tummy troubles due to formula, as finding the right formula for your baby can be harder than some might think) I simple wanted to know why, I got flamed for asking.... I just asked. I don't mind that so bad, it is probably karma coming back at me for flaming those in the past. I ended having a conversation with the person who flamed me, we came to an understanding that she over reacted to me asking when she shouldn't have as my comment was not meant with malice.

 So any way I feel I am doing much better at understanding and not judging, along with only offering advice when asked. I am sorry if I slip up here and there, please bear with me!
