Moms or Mean Girls? Social Media Takedowns

Let me first say I was very hesitant to create this post as my first on Pampers&Pinot or at all. Though after going through Facebook I thought it was necessary to speak my mind and maybe have other moms relate. I have noticed that moms on Facebook are either there to show how "smart" their child is or to put every other mom down for the way she has decided to parent the child she went through labor with and contains that child's social security card if you know what I am getting at. It is their child, legal rights to that child, emotional connection to that child, they live with that child. Now when it comes to every mother claiming their baby is so "smart" I agree, your baby is progressing in life. Here comes my problem with it, is your child learning what every baby does learn or is your baby solving a Rubik's cube in his or her crib? If your baby is well I bow down to you, your baby is smart. Now either I have annoyed a whole lot of moms or you just understand where I'm coming from. I will be the first mother to say, my children are average. Plain and simple. They learn, they grow, each at different speeds but I would not call them smart like I would refer to someone my own age as "smart" Now let me also say I understand being a proud mom, I am one of them, but text your mom, mother-in-law, father, boyfriend, husband, best friend those accomplishments your little one has done, because that will make them smile. Secondly, am I the only mama out there sick of moms shoving down their opinions on how your baby, their baby, every baby should be raised? Lets be real, not one baby is the same, we as moms know what is best for our children and unless we ask for your opinion we do not want it. We are all good moms, let us be the moms we want to be without fear of someone telling us "it is wrong"

I promise my next blog post will be a 180 from this.. xoxo mommies!

It's Friday, bust open that box of wine!
