Why do we do this as moms?

WHY?

Why do we judge other moms on their decisions? 

Can't breastfeed? you're baby isn't getting nutrition. 🙄

Feed formula? Shame on you, you should have tried harder. 🙄

Breastfeed in public? You are being dramatic and indecent. 🙄

You feed your baby rice cereal? Uh oh. Your baby is going to get arsenic poisoning. 🙄

You rock your baby to sleep? You'll never succeed at sleep training. 🙄

Your baby doesn't sleep through the night? You must be doing something wrong. 🙄

You're a single mother? "So there isn't a father?"🙄

Your baby is throwing a fit in the store? You're a bad mom. Babies shouldn't cry like that. 🙄

 You're a SAHM? You must be lazy and watch Netflix all day.🙄

You work full time? I can't believe someone else "raises your kids"🙄

Your baby is only 6 months and your already pregnant? You must not know how to control yourself. 🙄

The list could go on and on but LOOK!

Let’s all STOP. Stop judging ourselves and stop judging others. There should be solidarity in the club for every parent who is trying to do the right thing and operating from a place of love, shouldn’t there? Instead of thinking, ‘My child would never do that!’ Why not lend a smile to the mortified mom of the toddler who’s suddenly the source of the ‘clean up on aisle five’? Offer a hand, or at least a show of support that we’ve all been through something similar. Because the real world of parenting doesn’t come with a special app that makes everything sunshiny and beautiful. There are sleepless nights. There are questionable decisions. There are mistakes big and small. There are lessons to learn. But there’s also love. Lots of it. And little hands to hold. And boo-boos to kiss. And games to play. And teens to teach to drive and usher into adulthood. And memories to make.
