I immediately felt torn. Should I have published the post? Should I have just kept it to myself?
The first few comments made me feel proud of taking the risk and publishing my true and honest opinions on my blog. And then I got some comments that made me wretched and heartsick and physically nauseous. I should have kept that post to myself. I shouldn't have hit publish. We're all just moms doing our best to survive, so why would I add fuel to a fire of controversy?
Then I got angry. Really angry. It's MY BLOG. Who cares what anyone else thinks? I don't blog for anyone but myself. I do love readers and comments, but in the end this is for me. Did I get some hurrahs from readers? Great! Did I possibly alienate myself from some others? Maybe. In the end, it doesn't matter. This is my blog to say what I want.
I stand by everything I said yesterday. I am tired of hearing about all these different trendy-super-mommy-methodologies. In the end, we are all parents. So what does it matter how we get there? I'm not even sorry if I pissed you off. I respect your opinions, you can respect mine in return. No one is forcing you to read.
All that said, I leave you with a cute picture as a peace offering:
