There are so many choices and decisions that we have to make as Mommy's and so many reasons behind the final decisions we make! Arguing about our choices should be the least of our worries as mommy's! We have children to raise in a crazy world and us mommy's should stick together and support each other in all of the craziness we will experience! Kudos to you! ;-)Crazy Caine Family!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14721901425326191514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-31451387676703548762010-07-11T18:54:11.328-04:002010-07-11T18:54:11.328-04:00I completely agree with you!

I have natural labors but that is because I hate the idea of a needle in my back and my labors are fast. I don't think every woman needs to breastfeed because I do. It just doesn't work for all and if I had slow labors I would probably give in and have an epi.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456530257984130775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-6634218050185800142010-07-11T16:27:23.179-04:002010-07-11T16:27:23.179-04:00In my loving opinion, when you are confident and 1...In my loving opinion, when you are confident and 100% secure in your decisions-nothing rattles your cage. No one can upset you without your permission. There is no debate, no argument, etc if you stand firm in your choices for yourself/your family. It does not bother me one bit if someone does not agree with me or doesnt agree with someone else or shares their opposite of opinion with me. It is what it is, we are not going to change one another. We can change ourselves, our hearts, our attitudes, our feelings and thoughts. We all should be more mature, wise, sympathetic and willing to listen to one another in a kind manner..too many are stubborn and quick to be so defensive.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670113193043595859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-73455863678972398422010-07-11T15:25:12.411-04:002010-07-11T15:25:12.411-04:00Great post!

I had an epidural with my last 2 deliveries. My hubby convinced me. He said if I have the opportunity to enjoy labor and be present in the moment with the help if modern medicine, then why not? I'm very happy with my choice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967917357775528851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-21082770162798417092010-07-11T14:14:45.801-04:002010-07-11T14:14:45.801-04:00I'd have to say that I agree with Ashley. Whil...I'd have to say that I agree with Ashley. While I agree with what you have to say I don't agree with how you worded it. There is not point to arguing and as long as your baby is happy healthy and nurtured their shouldn't be a fight! <br /><br />i.e. "Personally I think you're crazy if you co sleep but would I say that? NO..." You did say it. And I'm not crazy. Just like you're not crazy for NOT co-sleeping. That statement right there made you no better than the mothers you're talking about who make you feel like crap for not co-sleeping. <br /><br />I cloth diaper, co-sleep and breastfeed and I had a medicated birth {although I did try to hold out as long as possible like you plan to do with K} although most people IRL are surprised about at least 1 of those things I don't push my opinions on other people. <br /><br />I've seen the people on twitter you are talking about and I agree with you however maybe next time when you're making this point you should try not to sound as judgmental as they are. <br /><br />Hope everything is going well with you and K I know you were having contractions and dilating a couple of weeks ago so I hope that's slowed down some!Christa @ Little Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596633524202102103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-56349898765612553412010-07-11T14:00:04.056-04:002010-07-11T14:00:04.056-04:00WOW- I stand by all your decisions!

I'm so sick of hearing the debates go on and on. Lately, my other Mom/friends have been debating stay at home vs. daycare. All that comes out of those debates is more anger! So over it! What we really need as mothers is not having our differences pointed out but support from one another.Bridget Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888206843266294032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-9625326137050903172010-07-11T10:37:15.302-04:002010-07-11T10:37:15.302-04:00Also, I just wanted to state that I wish I looked ...Also, I just wanted to state that I wish I looked into the pros and cons of the epidural. No one told me anything! Now I have a damaged nerve and severe back pain at 17 years old. Sucks. I agree that its the mothers choice but I agree she should be educated. I understand what your saying though, on twitter I see alot of OMG YOUR GETTING AN EPIDURAL!! OH NO!! they should just make sure they are educated...alot of those twitter moms are natural birth advocates so its their "job" to make sure everyone knows the facts, just as intact-avists make sure everyone knows info about circumcision.Florida Science https://www.blogger.com/profile/15033711987905444420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-46736436196935297972010-07-11T10:32:20.661-04:002010-07-11T10:32:20.661-04:00Well I do agree with you but I dont agree with how...Well I do agree with you but I dont agree with how you worded everything.

I'm sorry, but when someone says "when I see a child that is formula fed I feel so sorry for them that their parents don't care" I see red.

I bf and ff when I was lazy or wanted someone else to feed my baby, I never co slept, thankfully I had a crib before she was born, and I decided to cloth diaper once my baby was 18 months lol. I also don't understand the constant debate and kudos to you and EVERY other mom who is doing what they can do feed, clothe and love her baby/babies!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201121855206585834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393950842754064391.post-56236617677004366982010-07-11T07:41:33.096-04:002010-07-11T07:41:33.096-04:00I will never understand why these debates rage on ...I will never understand why these debates rage on - are you feeding your child?
