kids sleeping with parents

[houseelf]

Oh just you all wait until I'm done raising my kids. I'm going to give back some serious mommy hell back to the universe. As in, "All of my kids were potty trained by 3 months, what is wrong with your kids?"


It is kind of sad how entertained I am by the thought of becoming a petty old bat.

mommier-than-thou sucks when it comes from anyone. this is a journey, and we each do it our own way.

Seriously, I think the hardest part about raising children today is that everyone feels entitled to be part of your business.

Yeah. What shocks me is the lack of discretion. Some people have absolutely no qualms about voicing their unsolicited opinions, loudly. People I barely know! Good grief.

I think it is much worse for the dads. When dh takes the kids out alone he almost always comes back with stories of moms that intervened at the playground or beach...you know, for the sake and saftey of the kids. To the moms' credit though, when he has the boys alone they do come back bruised or bloodied to some degree.

However, the JUDGMENT I've gotten because I restrict his toys to his room is weird! I mean, my rule is not exactly the invocation of torture...I don't lock him in there! And it's a big, carpeted bedroom that is his alone...and it has a huge window and more space than any one kid could expect!). But I sometimes get snarky remarks when other moms visit me, like, "My, your house is so ... [pause]... neat. I guess DS does his creative play at school..." As if somehow I am hindering his creative development or self-esteem by not allowing him free reign of the house.

GRRRRR.

How rude! We had this rule when we had a one story house and it was fantastic! Now that we have a two story house, we have toys on both levels mostly because I'm too tired to run up and down the stairs to get them and she isn't old enough to leave alone upstairs for long periods of time.
