Baby Bellies and Beyond

Everywhere a new mom goes, everyone is dying to tell her what she is doing wrong, and what she is doing right. Mostly I just think everyone should keep their opinions to themselves. Alot of times these so graciously given advice back up their comment with the statement “I should know, becuase I have had 3..4.. kids” My thought is well then if you have three or four children then you got the chance to do everything YOUR way and now I am going to do it my way. But instead I just nodd my head and look away. I believe though that SOME of these women commenting on your child have no children, therefore my comment to them is “If you want to raise a child the “right” way maybe you should try having some of your own” but instead I just nodd my head and look the other way. But it is true that we as mommies all look at other mommies and judge them, though I hope no one reading this blog would choose to judge outloud, comments are better left contained most of the time to our own brains. Here are some things that I would like to say to other mommies, but do not:

1. If you child is old enough to ask for a cookie to drink with his milk, he or she should no longer be getting the milk from you boob.

2. When it is seventy degrees outside it does no warrent for you child to wear a coat, the poor baby is sweating because you think that they might catch a chill.

3. When it is forty degrees outside your child DOES need socks!

4. Is it that hard to change a shirt?, or do you enjoy your child looking like a mess and everyone around them being able to tell, and smell what they had for dinner.

5. IT IS NOT OK, to change your childs diaper on a table in the food court of a mall, easy it may be disgusting it is!! YUCK
