I have a question that I've been pondering - especially these past few days....
When did it become OK to speak your mind freely - even at the cost of someones feelings? Am I the only person who watched the movie Bambi? "If you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all!"
I'm really sick and tired of people criticizing anything and everything that we do. I don't understand when it became ok to make fun of or express dislike of people's houses, decorating, clothing, parenting, name choice - etc. It's so rude!
Guess what? It's my choice to let my child watch Wiggles or Barney. It's my choice to let my child not wear socks around the house. It's my decision to paint my kitchen red, and it's my choice to give my children their names! It's my choice to drink a diet coke a day (with caffiene while pregnant) and it's my choice to get certain tests done during pregnancy. It's my choice to listen to MY Dr.'s about shots and c-sections and decisions regarding my health and the health of my family. We are all made differently (thank God) and I probably don't like your decorations or your favorite TV show...and that's OK!
On another note....never say never has become a key phrase that I ponder. I always said that I'd "never do this" and "Never do that" - but when you're in the moment - and you see your child light up when his/her favorite cartoon comes on - who am I to say - NO WAY am I sitting through that again?! When my child loves Elmo, why would I NOT let her watch it or get a favorite Elmo toy for her birthday? Isn't Seasame Street what you grew up on?
My family lives 17 hours away...there is no way a 1 year old can sit still in the car and entertain themselves for that long. If your child does - I'd question your honesty. So...(Gasp)...we have a DVD player in our car. I know - seriously - call CPS...I'm the worst mother of the year.
Bottom line - if you can't say something nice...keep your mouth shut!!...or at least wait until I'm out of the room and talk behind my back. ha-ha!

Preach it girl! Don't get me started on people who have patents on certain names--were you aware that you can't name your child something because some else likes that name? LOL!
Haven't you heard? When you get pregnant every choice you make is the business of everyone you've ever met. :-) The bad news is it will only get worse and worse the older your kids get. Good news is you'll get better at telling people that while you respect their opinion, they are not your child's parent therefore rendering their opinion irrelevant. :-)
I just discovered your blog today- congrats on upcoming baby! Debby had hers on Saturday and we're all pretty excited. Hope all is well and keep being a great mom and deciding what you think is best even if no one agrees with you! And I'm sure your baby name choice is perfect. :-)
