Today, I'm donating my post for a cause.
(No, this is not a campaign to rescue the NFL from its own greed - even though the next Superbowl is scheduled for Indy)
I want every reader to go to Elizabeth Flora Ross's page and take the pledge if you haven't already. It is a pledge to end bullying by moms against moms in the blogosphere.
We, as moms, need to stick together. Some may choose to wear their baby, nurse endlessly, co-sleep, and quit their jobs while others chose to feed their children formula, use the cry-it-out method, and rely on day care. And of course, the majority of us who have every single one of those descriptors at some point during their child's first year.
Regardless of your personal choice - you're a mom (or a dad). Your ultimate goal is shared - to raise the healthiest, happiest child you can - while maintaining some semblance of sanity.
There is no need to denigrate a parent for doing what they think is best because it's not the decision we chose.
We all need to consider the bigger picture of open-faced, one-sided judgment. It is bullying. We don't want our children to do it - so we must lead by example!!
So go! Pledge! Also, go to Facebook and join the pledge there!
Share the love ~ and have a happy weekend!
