Mothers.

I am part of a website, I'll leave the name of it off this post. Its a website surrouding mothers and their everyday lives. They have every walk of life you can think of on there. The website has been helpful, entertaining and generally all around great to have since I've become a mother. I noticed something on that website and it got me thinking:

we're all parents.. i mean i think for the most part we're all on here with a purpose..

to figure out in one way or another how to be better moms...

to vent on here so we dont vent on our families as much. if that means Susie Q learns that she was supposed to keep her kid in a RR seat til age 1, awesome! .. if it means Jackie O. learns that she's not the only one in the world who wants to pull her hair out on a daily basia even better!

Some of us come on here to teach other parents something.. whether it's a woman of six telling a new mom "hunny it's colic, just put him on the dryer" or a younger mom telling an older mom "well it's not exactly a fashion fauxpas (sp?) hehe to wear stripes and plaid together anymore." lmao.. something as simple as that..

I get that we're not all going to agree on everything... I even get the entertainment of the drama of seeing forty women fight over who's right and wrong about a subject. What I dont get, all bs aside..

is how any one of us could think we are perfect? I dont care if your kid went to harvard, stayed celebate til they were 24 and married, your child might be holding secrets from you because they never felt like destroying your perfect little image of them.

I make a lot of mistakes, I have two sons, but they are toddlers, so I am a relatively new mom. What I learn works for baby number one never works with baby number two.. they're are two completely different personalities. everything from discipline to when i introduced baby food...walking, how and when they teethed, talking and now potty training.. ---- even health wise.. Tylenol worked to get ds1s fever down, ibuprofen works better for ds2 (examples). So I have to be two different kinds of parent to my sons... so i dont get how anyone of you can think that YOUR way is so right for EVERY other kid on here.... when one way is clearly not even the case in my one household? :-/
