i’m a “bad mom”

idk if i’m the only one but i get attacked in comments on fb and insta bc im not the “perfect PC parent”… for example: - my son (6m) watches educational “baby tv” sometimes. not for long but we love music and learning abt colors. - he eats foods that i know are maybe a little premature to be giving him (he’s had some SOLID meats, and accidental got into the hot cheetos once) - i implemented sleep training by letting him “cry it out” (i went in to comfort him after 5 minutes next time was 10 then 15 and then 20… after the first night he SOMETIMES whimpers for a minute then falls asleep) - sometimes i make him figure out how to entertain himself. with toys or his own 2 hands. - HES BEEN FORMULA FED SINCE HE WAS 2 MONTHS -i don’t sit in the back seat with him. i never have. not even brining him home from the hospital. once i mistook his breathing for death and made my grandma sit in the back seat with him on the way to the drs office. - i don’t wake him up in the middle of the night to change his butt. unless he’s awake i don’t change his butt. sometimes he sleeps for 9-10 hours through the night. -he has and LOVES his NUKS i’m a first time mom. my bf had 2 older babies. i have no shame lmao. he’s happy and healthy.

😬 people don’t seem to realize there are literally people out there beating, starving, trafficking and killing their kids. Just because you do things a bit differently than others doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. You’re doing good ♥️

The way my 18m old stole my Cheetos like a week ago 😅 people on fb act like a Cheeto is a death sentence

Far half of the stuff you do is what I do haha all my kids a well and good even my parents did similar lmao I have never once sat in the back seat with my babies unless I was with my sister and her hubby otherwise never sat in the back

When my son was 1 he stole a ghost pepper potato chip from the bag I bought my husband and ate it. He then turned around and asked for more.

I literally do all the same things that you do girl! My babe watches educational shows and non educational shows, we let him “cry it out”, he entertains himself, etc. He has food, water, babas, a warm place to sleep, and is incredibly loved. He is thriving. You are doing AMAZING!

Lol I did a lot of the same things (not all) the main one I did exactly the same is the sleep training part! My parents and sister are so surprised that my son has been sleeping through the night for almost a year and we can put him in bed awake and he will go to sleep. But my sister won’t let her child cry for even a minute lol. So many people knock it but they’re the ones not getting sleep. I’m getting plenty over here 😂

I did all the same things with my first and plan to do with the second! You are not a bad mom! We are figuring out how to navigate this world, and you have found the best way that works for you, while your baby is fed, clean, and happy. ❤️

Sounds like you love him and doing that fine. Each to their own.

@Carmen see, my son was sleeping through the night by 5 months, about 6-7 hour stretch and people were so shocked lmao. It was great, now even at 2 years old he can be told to go get in bed and he'll put himself to sleep. Rarely gets mad about it, even then he'll calm himself down (ill always check if its more than 7-8 minutes upset). So worth it, especially if it works for your family and dynamic. Parents should parent how they feel is best for there own sanity! (As long as it's safe and healthy of course lol)

@Savannah 100% agree. If all kids are different then how can we all parent the same?? Makes no sense. People are obsessed with being right and don’t realize that sometimes there is no right or wrong (as long as the child is clean, fed, and safe), good parenting can look a lot of different ways and so can bad parenting. And I do the same for the time. When we first started we left him for 5 min, then 10. 10 feels so long when your child is crying but it’s really not and it usually doesn’t take him longer than that to soothe himself anyway. Also, I think its bs when people say it teaches your kid that no one will come when they need help. Ha! Anything little thing happens and my son is coming to find mama. He knows I’m always here

This is all fine. Don’t post specifics about your parenting on social media, morons will get their panties in a twist and attack you

I did all of this with my son girl (1st) and all but 2 with my daughter (2nd)!Trust me I got/get bashed a lot, but you’re still an amazing mom. I don’t see why people care so much about kids who aren’t theirs who are obviously loved, fed, clean, cared for ect. People turn into keyboard warriors all of a sudden, it’s wild out here on the web 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ if I had a penny for the amount of times I’ve been called a bad mom online for voicing my opinion about something (parent/child related) or defending another mom, I’d be super duper rich haha. You’re doing an amazing job mama don’t let no one tell you different. If it works for you and your family/baby and it won’t harm the little human,or anyone else for that matter, then that’s what works for y’all! ❤️

He looks happy and healthy baby that’s all matters ♥️ Do what makes u and your happy comfortable

Damn.. my 5 month old was chowing down on a lamb leg steak she snatched off my plate the other day 😂 so I just break up bit of meat and she eats it. No purée for this baby! You sound like a very well balanced parent to me!
