A Note To The “Mother Society”

Is it just me or does the mother society feel like they are criticizing me from every angle?

The mother society is created of all moms who have given birth, adopted, fostered or even the women who have a pediatrician degree. These women feel the need to put their two cents in and watch how you hold your child an make sure to tell you, in the nicest way that we are doing it the wrong way.

I may be a part of this society sometimes. I try not to be but I may accidentally give my opinion to harshly at times.

Truth is-no one knows the right way to do anything. The right way that works for my child might bring a complete melt down for another child.

The length of time I hold my child after he falls asleep is completely up to my husband and I. I know that if I hold on to him, he will sleep better and I will have less anxiety.

If someone asks for advice I’ll give it to them. But do what works best for your child and family.

If you can breast feed then God bless you. If you formula feed the God bless you as well. As long as that child is getting some kind of nutrition.

Target is the worst when it comes to the mother society. All of the stay at home moms-like myself-go in the afternoons and at every corner of the store you hear a baby cooing and laughing. It’s great. Then here come my baby and I who has an upset stomach and decides to spit up and scream.

Here comes the looks.

The looks say-
“Calm him down” “Why did you pinch him?” “Obviously he’s hungry”

To those “looks” my “looks” reply-
“I’ve tried calming him down but he obviously likes nothing that I’ve tried.” “I would never intentionally hurt my son.” “He’s OBVIOUSLY not hungry since their is spit up all over the two of us”

Cut us mother a break mothers.

Were all trying to do the best of what we can in order to keep our children alive, happy and thriving.

Thank you and sorry if I was to “ranty”

Running Through my head

This morning I was getting Noah down for a nap and wanted to sing some worship songs. I came accross a song by my favorite Christian singer Natalie Grant called ‘In the End’.

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. The lyrics are powerful yet simple. The tune is catchy yet refined. I heart always leaps when I hear an acoustic song because it’s so simple. The song has fun clapping to it to encourage praising.

The last verse of the chorus is all I need from this song to keep the tears flowing from my soul.

“Cause we win in the end”

Simple as that! My soul rests in that fact that no matter how hard that Devil try’s to defeat us and our faith in Christ, God wins in the end. All my Christian brothers and sisters will be praising God on the streets paved with gold one day. God will take away those burdens and carry them for us.
