I am fed up of being made to feel like a bad mother...

on MN. Most of the time I oove it but recently there have been far too many gasps and rolling eyes (well if we could see each others eyes that is).

Yes - I breastfed and will do again
I use disposable nappies
I used a mixture of homemade food and jars when weaning
I have a freezer with readymeals in it as well as home made meals
My kids have crisps and biscuits

I will never use washable nappies (I have a life)
I will never breastfeed and my bottle fed kids are healthier than some kids I know who were breastfed until they were 2.5. My kids have no allergies at all and that includes ezcema, asthma etc.

Please - give us mums who choose alternative ways a break and stop all this goody 2 shoes attitude with people. there is no need to look down your noses. Not everyone has time to spend washing nappies and cooking all day. Some of us have full time jobs, school runs, house to keep, dancing and swimming lessons, and some people don't take to breastfeeding. If powder milk was so bad they wouldn't sell it!

Please stop making people feel so judged (not all of MN is like this but there are a select few!)

Ta, moondog. Why on earth is he described as a transvestite? He is not dressed as a woman - more like Shirley Temple on acid

Sorry, but just had a surreal moment - how can you criticise someone on MN for not posting under their own name? I don't think any of us do that, do we? Aren't they all aliases? (Or have I misunderstood something...)

moondog · 26/10/2005 19:10

Shirley Temple on acid-spot on!

Yes wordsmith, I pondered the same point. It seems you 'exist' once you have had time to establish an MN persona.

Yes, WS, but if I changed my name to "wordsmithisdaft" and posted "Dur, don't you get it?!" - that would be the kind of namechanging I've been criticising, much like changing a name to liarpantsonfire to call someone a hypocrite.

I do agree that it's a bit surreal, since we do change our names on here for amusing reasons, and not many people use anything that could identify them in RL!

O. M. G. Caligula, where did you find that...ahem...person? I don't know whether to laugh or throw up!

I had to call over dh to check out the pixie.
We were both wheezing with laughter,especially at the Total Cuteness Overload bit.
