-It’s always strange to me when moms get up in arms because their parenting methods are being attacked. Not that it doesn’t happening, because it does. I’ve seen it,from all groups on the parenting spectrum, and I think it’s quite gross. It’s strange because….many of the moms that I “know” (follow on twitter) have no issues with “attacking” other parenting methods. So….I don’t get it. It’s ok for you to vocally attack, demean, disagree with other parenting methods, but when it happens to you…..oh, ok. o_O Tons of blog posts, comments, tweets about how “disappointing” it was that Beyonce “only” breastfed for 10 weeks and *gasp, the horror* maybe only did it to lose weight, but when people say that a 3 year old is “too old” to be breastfeeding, it’s a problem? I’m really just trying to understand. I wish we could leave each other the hell alone about these parenting choices. Because that’s exactly what they are. Choices. That really? Aren’t gonna matter that much. I mean, my daughter is 2.5. I really doubt that the fact that I breastfed or wore her is gonna matter more in the grand scheme of things than talking to her about sex, or making sure she’s prepared for college. We haven’t even made it to the important shit yet! SO WHAT a 3 year old was breastfeeding. It’s so NOT a big deal! I doubt he’s going to need to nurse before and after his first job interview at 16, lmbo. You didn’t co-sleep with your daughter? I’m pretty sure that’s NOT one of she’s gonna hate you about as a teenager. Relax.
-Oh, another thing. Why is it ALWAYS the main perpetrators of “Mommy War” drama that are always crying about stopping said Mommy Wars. Girl, I saw you on twitter last week talking about how gross formula is / how baby wearing is for hippies / how letting your baby cry for even a minute is abuse / how cloth diapers are disgusting, etc etc. If you’re always talking about how you can’t stand drama, yet you’re always IN drama. It’s you, boo. Sorry to break the news.
-Speaking of twitter (and my blog, really), It’s been brought to my attention that I give off a persona of sweet, southern, innocence..even “perfect”……… LMBO!! I realize that in my efforts to remain PC on social media, I think I come across as one dimensional. I’ve actually been called fake by anonymous emailers in my comment form. That’s laughable as well. I don’t even have time to be fake, lmbo. I’ll own up to sweet and southern, but innocent, perfect? Absolutely not. I’m actually QUITE ratchet. Ask Krissy, lmbo. I’ve been known to leave a whole HEAP of shade in her inbox before she even wakes up in the morning. I’m not some prissy, perfectionist SAHM, with a spotless house, toddler, and husband. Far from it.
-I had more, but I’m tired now. Yes, it’s only 10am, I’ve only been up since 7am, but I’m tired. Fight me!
THANK YOU. Holy crap. People never look at themselves first, ever. We should be supporting each other, not knocking each other down.
I think this post is spot on. As for the times Times magazine, that was deliberately printed JUST to get a response from people who are fighting in the Mommy Wars.
Seriously, it doesn’t really matter how long you breastfed, if you wore your child, and if you did both how long you did it for.
I thought the whole point of the parenting act was to do what works for you and your family.

Mommy wars? really? people need to have a damn seat. If your child is healthy and happy i don’t give a damn how you raise them. It’s none of my business, period.
People need to leave beyonce alone, like seriously.
You already know people don’t know you. They have no clue of who you are and in some respect, that’s okay. But you are hella ratchet and I love it! lol. You and I clown so much its ridiculous in the best possible way! lol

Im so tired of moms judging moms. As long as you are not killing or neglecting your child, do you.
And guuurl! You ain’t fooled me!
I think the Mommy Wars are kind of amusing… especially since I tend to do the opposite of what most of these moms are pushing. Bring on the drama!

I don’t want to experience these mommy wars. It is not a good model to our kids.

The nerve of people now days. I can’t be bothered with all these social thugs. It’s amazing how nasty people will be while hiding behind an IP address!
I was fooled. I didn’t know you were ratchet but I didn’t think you were fake. Some people are generally happy. I never think anyone is perfect and I do realize some people choose to share more of their imperfections than others. But if I don’t like a blog…I just stop reading
I am excited to watch you cook baby #2 over these next few months in your perfectly clean SAHM house!
lmao! love this post! ain’t nothin’ wrong with being ratchet every now and then…it be like that sometimes lol. my favorite though, is when moms have to fight in mommy wars with GIRLS (because these females are not mature enough to be referred to as women) who don’t even have kids! ridiculous! while i have no problem throwing my (very strong) opinions, preferences and methods out there, i try to remember that i sure as hell wouldn’t want anyone judging me every step of my motherhood journey and try not to do so to others. unless of course they’re just really bad at it. i mean, let’s be honest: we all know that one person that makes you wonder why they thought procreating was a good idea lol

It is really bad to have mommy wars. Every mom has its own way of parenting so it is really not good to have mommy wars. As a mother, you are a model to your kid so it is really bad to fight to other mother like you.

I think mommy wars didn’t give good benefits to everyone most especially to the kids.

Mommies should share their experiences and get ideas and support from other mommies rather than fighting with each other. Thanks for writing.!

I don’t think people should rush to judgement about parenting skills

It is better to share their own parenting than having war to each other. Perhaps, both parties could really get the benefits in sharing their parenting to their kids.
