CONTROVERSIAL PARENTING TAG
- Pro-life or Pro-choice ?
Pro-life always!! I have very strong opinions about this but I'll keep them to myself for now.
-Baby wearing ?
Yes!
-Circumcision ?
This one doesn't apply to me . I have 2 girls but I heard that it is very sanitary and it is better to clean down there.
-Adoption ?
Yes!! I am all for it . I would love to adopt one day because just the thought of changing someone's future and taking them in and loving and caring for them as if they were your own is wonderful . You're giving another human being a chance of better life and a family .
-Baby piercings ?
I did my daughter's ears when she turned 3 months so yes . I feel that is very personal and no choice is wrong . If you want to do it good and if you don't that's good too .
-Breast milk or formula ?
Both . A lot of people are judgemental of mother who don't breastfeed and a lot of mother do feel very guilty if they are for some reason not able to breastfeed their babies . But as good as breastfeeding is, it can also be very difficult and exhausting and it is not for everyone . I think we as women and mother should stop judging each other and encourage each other more . We are already taking on a very very difficult role so why make it even harder on ourselves . Whatever works for you and your baby that's what you should do . That way you avoid mental stress and a spiral down postpartum depression .
-CIO (cry it out) method vs other?
I tried this but I just couldn't do it because I felt bad for Aria but I do wish I hadn't stopped because I do believe this works and I don't believe that it is torture or neglecting your baby . In fact I believe that people who think like that are kind of ignorant and should do their research because this will not harm your baby . Also I think that torture is putting yourself through sleepless nights without having the need to do it and being mentally and physically exhausted and not being able to take proper care of your baby and then feeling guilty about not being your 100% .
But I also understand that this is not for everybody . I couldn't do it even though I wish I had done it .
-Spanking?
Yes! There is a difference between spanking and abusing your baby . For example if I know my daughter is doing something that can potentially harm her and I already told her no many times and she still doesn't listen, then you better believe I rather give her a little spank than letting her get hurt . Because probably my spank is going to hurt less than whatever was going to happen to her .
-Co-sleeping?
I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you are careful not to hurt your baby . I do not judge mothers who do this because I do it . However this is one of the reason why I wish I had done the cry it out method because she got used to fall asleep with me , then that wasn't enough so she wanted to sleep with me all night on my bed and now she is almost two and I haven't been able to get her out of my bed . And three people in one bed as big as that bed might be it is still very uncomfortable and there are many night that I get 0 sleep because of how uncomfortable I am .
- Home vs Public vs Private vs Charter schooling?
Depending on the school district . But if I could I would like to have my girls in a private school until middle school .
-Vaccinations?
Yes!!
-Medicating children?
Yes normally like Tylenol for the fever or pain but nothing more than that . I am very crazy and I take my daughter to the emergency room for the smallest things but I rather do that than assume what's wrong with her and give her whatever I believe I should give her or what other people tell me to give her . But yes to medication for fever or pain and then the emergency room .
-Cloth vs disposable diapers?
Um... disposable diapers always .
-Store bought baby food vs homemade?
Foe me is homemade but I don't judge mothers who give their babies store bought food . I don't think that's nobody's business .
This are just some of my opinions on parenting and I understand that not everyone thinks the same and have the same answer to some of this question . Opinions are like noses everyone has one so let's just keep it cute and be nice to everyone .
