I would like to begin this by saying it's a lighthearted thread. But it isn't. I am fucked off. So far I have:
- Breastfed ("digusting")
- Breastfed on demand (worse)
- Breastfed in public (worst yet)
- Am still bfeeding 22 months later (apoplexy)
- Co-slept
- Not given ds a dummy
- Not left ds in his pram outside to cry. This would apparently "teach him"
- Not left ds to cry himself to sleep at night
- Not left ds laying on his back when he had reflux to choke on his own acid and instead carried him in a sling
10. Not sent ds to a nursery. He goes to a wonderful cm three days a week but this will apparently not socialise him
11. Allowed ds to feed himself. With cutlery (plastic)
12. Not cut ds's hair much
13. And bizarrely, yesterday, allowed ds to leave the house without a hat. Its May fgs.
This is not a stealth attack on any of the above practices. We are parents who make decisions based on what suits us/our individual child. I don't care if anyone does or doesnt do any of the above but just sick to fucking death of being told what a shameful parent I am/how spolied ds will be/how I have made a rod/created a monster. Ad infinitum.
Sil has followed mil's advice to a tee and she has, according to dh's family created the prefect child. Oh dfod.
