I saw this on Facebook and it made me think of all the silly arguments that came up in Baby Club when my DD was younger, about the best way to parent. It's good to remember that the majority of us moms love our children and are doing best for them in whatever way we can. :flower:

To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom.

To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer, but now? Better living through chemistry! You're a good mom.

To the cloth diapering mom: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. You're a good mom.

To the disposable diapering mom: Damn those things hold a lot, and it's excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mom.

To the mom who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. You're a good mom.

To the mom who works: It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career, you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways, it's fantastic. You're a good mom.

To the mom who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it. You're a good mom.

To the mom who gave her kids a homecooked breakfast lunch and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for the rest of their lives. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they can't run around. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds don't they? We've all been through it. You're a good mom.

To the moms who judge other moms for ANY of the above? Glass houses, friend. Glass houses.
We should never judge another mom, but be the best influence we can be.
 
Theres been so many threads on this that have been locked in baby club, so hopefully this one doesnt get locked as the message is brilliant! Thanks:)
 
It's lovely! :)

We're all mummies at the end of the day, and the majority of mummies in this world are doing everything just right for their little bundles and their individual family life.

:flower:
 
All of this is so true! When you judge others you are only opening up space to be judged. This was my resolution this year to give everyone credit for the things they do and not try to find fault in the things they don't. In the end we all love our children and want the best for them, and we are all good moms

I didn't realize that this had been a source of contention over in Baby Club (you'd think it would be the opposite!), but I thought it was a simple way of expressing a message that we all need to be reminded of, especially since it's so easy to forget and judge someone else.

If somehow this does turn ugly, I'll ask the mods to close it, myself. But judging by the thoughtful comments so far, I think we'll manage to keep it positive. :flower:

Oh no hun! It was just because there were so many of them! I think everyone can agree the message is great:)

Oh, good! I was thinking, "Oh no...the last thing I want to do is start a nasty debate!" :dohh:

Thanks for putting this up!
 
No, don't worry ladies, it was because there was about 5 of the same thread :haha:
