I get so annoyed, when people look at me as if they never heard a child cry before! It drives me crazy. My 3 1/2 year old just gave up this pacificer in October and started to pee in the potty too. I'm sure this topic as been discussed in my absence many of times. I guess people seems to forgot that we were all once children, and need to losen up. I'm new to the blog world and I love this open and honest communciation...actually I think I may write a blog on my experince regarding those dirty looks from uptight women and regarding the great world of blogs! Cheers! Thanks for sharing! As I read your blog, I thought OMG she sounds just like me! I get so annoyed, when people look at me as if they never heard a child cry before! It drives me crazy.

Well, I'll tell you, with 5 kids born in 6 years, what I want is peace, so I don't argue about anything unless I really have to either. So, I agree, cereal for dinner, pajamas worn outside to play and crazy mismatched outfits-if someone doesnt like it-I just don't care!!!!They don't live my life, in fact, they have no idea!!!!!!! .-= Kelly Smith´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.fiveallmine.com/?p=218" rel="nofollow">Knock knock?

Last week I saw a little girl arriving at my daughter's school with hair that looked like it hadn't been brushed in a week and thought "how does a mother let her daughter out the house like that" - I caught myself judging and re-framed my thoughts ... "I don't know the circumstances so I can't judge" - she was being dropped off by Dad so it is likely Dad missed the hair brushing. Anyway, this morning my daughter started her usual whining and screaming Oweeee!!! as I tried to brush her hair which ended with her crying in the timeout corner and me upset. I thought - would it really have been so bad just to let her go to school with messy hair - maybe tomorrow she will. Even having been a mom sometimes we forget not to judge other mother’s.
