Mommy Wars

Being a mom has made me realize something, I will never be perfect. I mean think about it, no matter what a mom does someone criticizes it. For instance, discipline. If you spank your kids you're labeled abusive if you don't you're a push over. Like where is the happy medium? I'm realizing that there is none. Moms for some reason are at this war for no reason. When I became a mom I knew I would be judged, I was 16, but I didn't think it would pour over into my 20s with all the little things. From putting my kids into sports to letting them skip baths from time to time I have been told all the things I am doing wrong. Mommy wars have gone on for far too long at this point, moms are supposed to support each other not tear each other down. At the end of the day we're all trying to do the same thing, raise children and not lose our minds we NEED to have each other in this situation! Every single mom has made a mistake, or in my case multiple mistakes-sorry for being a sucky mom Brooke but I'm getting better-and not one of us is perfect we have to find what works for our kids not what works for everyone else's. If playing 6 sports at a time isn't hurting my kids I feel like no one should judge that just like I won't judge your child for not playing any sports at all. If me never breastfeeding any child I ever have works, I shouldn't be judged you don't know why I made that choice and why I know I will never breastfeed my children. Moms have an instinct and know what to do for each of their kids and they make it work. I know my kids aren't perfect, I know my parenting isn't perfect but at the end of the day they're my kids and I get to choose how to raise them. Every single parent is given that right and in my opinion if you're not abuse them then you do you and lets make the mommy wars stop.
