your blogs are fantastic. I haven’t disagreed with anything I’ve read here, thus far. You are very insightful and present your ideas creatively. This was very helpful for me as I am doing a “talk” on exactly these things, dealing with the feelings of being a “bad” mom and being judged as one. Thx.

I just found your site, and I really like it. This issue has been driving me crazy on parenting blogs, and I love your take on it. I can’t stand the attitude that asserts that all parenting decisions are equal, and I won’t back down in trying to advocate for what I believe in. I like to believe that I’m never rude online. I certainly hope I’m not. I will, however, challenge what appears to me to be wrong in our society.

I really love this…on my FB page, I often CELEBRATE breastfeeding, homebirth, AP and all that good stuff people take it as an attack on them. It’s annoying!

[...] I do. Sometimes. It shifts and moves a bit, but it is there. However, my line is not necessarily the same as your line and this is what I’m struggling with right now. I believe there is value in discussing what works and what doesn’t work, what is beneficial and what is detrimental, what is valuable and what is useless. When we do that, however, it is almost always accompanied by cries of “don’t judge me.” [...]

Hmm….

Your opinion is fine as long as you keep it to yourself or it is asked for. Your unsolicited opinion is a judgement as you feel the need to express it without invitation.

So, by inviting comments on your piece, you are soliciting my personal opinion of what you have written, that being “I think you think too much!”

I do not think any other blog/commentary has ever resonated with me as much as this one. Thank you for sharing it.

Oh Annie, you have hit the nail on the head, yet again!!! Just got into a fight with one of my oldest friends in the whole world because she just can’t take it that I am judging her when I post about why breastfeeding is best, and why I despise formula. (And I do despise formula, but not the women who need to or choose to use it.) I have never said one negative thing to her or about her. Wow, people and their insecurities…
