When you hear something that someone is doing differently, it may feel like a judgment against your own choices. But if you’re comfortable with your choices, and they are working for you, someone else’s different opinion doesn’t bother you at all. This is a huge pitfall for new mothers. Moms with multiple kids? We’re so tired we don’t care. But if you truly wonder whether you’re doing the right thing when it comes to parenting, or if you’ve tried a million things and nothing is working, it’s okay to ask for help. Haters are gonna hate, no matter what you do. But there’s enough helpful people – and mom bloggers – out there that there’s bound to be someone who throws you a lifeline. And someday, you can pay it forward to another mom who’s struggling to find an answer.




Too often the reason we fear being judged is that we’re busy judging others, ourselves. Something I have to remind myself all too frequently. Sigh.
