Seems like its harder to be a parent and stand our own ground in our kiasu, fast-paced society where everyone seems to have an opinion on how to raise your kids... reading everyone's comments really encourages me! :)Mum in the Makinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978846571220740500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-40569171479759017902011-04-14T13:08:33.164+08:002011-04-14T13:08:33.164+08:00Well-said! *clap clap*
Who cares what others say ...Well-said! *clap clap*<br /><br />Who cares what others say about what we want to do with our kids. It's our business and none of theirs. <br /><br />Good for you to keep on doing what you feel right with J and I so agree with you that we should cherish the days when the boys still want to be close to us, hold our hands and kiss our cheeks. These days are numbered and the smart mamas are the ones who cherish these moments.<br /><br />BTW, the comment about the boy spending too much time under the nursing cover and not enough time interacting is hilarious! Whoever said that is totally NUTS. :PDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935605661515681127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-85988580926480829672011-04-14T12:36:24.410+08:002011-04-14T12:36:24.410+08:00I tried to remind myself not to be too quick to ju...I tried to remind myself not to be too quick to judge when seeing a noisy boy playing 'swing' while the parent looking indifferent inside the mrt. They might be just tire and need a break on nagging their difficult kid. Also I tried to give the benefit of doubt to an angry shouting mum when outdoor. She might be too stressed out with a bad day. <br /><br />Thanks for yr post and it's certainly encouraging and good reminders for me.CEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-8558283923376402622011-04-13T23:57:10.437+08:002011-04-13T23:57:10.437+08:00Can't agree more!

I guess those who are quick to judge and give their unsolicited advice should just learn to s*%& up for a minute and embrace other's ways and joys in parenting. How strange that some people feels that THEIR parenting is THE only way? Or likes to compare kids? And why can't all mothers and women just learn to get along and make peace with each other? ^^ Whatever it is, you know best.

As my husban...I can't agree more with you, Jus! As my husband always says: It is not how they (as in the kids) start, but how they end. Many musts and must-nots of other people's expectations really don't matter in the life-long journeys of our children.Corsage@A Dollop Of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147931647105342881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-17217431488891681662011-04-13T14:33:55.909+08:002011-04-13T14:33:55.909+08:00I totally agree.

I posted about this yesterday, too after reading a very touching post about a mom who struggled with breastfeeding and felt guilty for not being able to. Good for you for BFing for as long as your son wants to! I wanted to longer, but he self-weaned at 12 months. I miss it!Rosilind Jukichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304788871235090080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-35108510963463164662011-04-13T14:01:35.576+08:002011-04-13T14:01:35.576+08:00I totally agree, parenthood isn't a competitio...I totally agree, parenthood isn't a competition. Each family will find what works for them. I get stares when I nurse Max outside as well, but I've become immune to it over time.<br /><br />A big pat on the back for all parents!Jillianhttp://2monkeygems.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-17066845992313636172011-04-13T11:39:30.826+08:002011-04-13T11:39:30.826+08:00As if it's not tough enough to be a mum, some ...As if it's not tough enough to be a mum, some uncalled for comments and opinions really add stress! <br />Hang in there! and stand firm in your beliefs and principles even when others 'make noise'! i agree that time with the bub right now is most important :)Binghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986878944996610150noreply@blogger.com
