[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 352772"] Absolutely with you on that. Yes, I'm not mainstream parenting but who is to say I'm right and someone else is wrong? It's not my call when it's not my family dynamics. I have no offense, I don't judge others on how they parent with one exception - if the needs are not being met (ie: improper clothing, improper food, no food, beating the child, neglect or abuse) then I am at an obligation legally to do something about it but if I see a mom that needs clothes for her growing 4 year old...I have 3 boys and 2 girls and whack loads of clothes in all sizes. Before I would ever consider judging them or calling some authority on them I would give them my extra clothes. Sometimes that giving hand creates an environment for a great start of friendship. I've been called on out of spite by a supposed friend and by a family member (unfounded, told they were spite calls outright by the SW). I guess what I'm trying to say is everyone is different, every child is different. I can't parent my 3 year old the way I parent my 9 year old - they are two separate, distinct personalities. It's the same for all families. I'm not your typical mum either...lol... I'm a tattoo clad, piercings (nose, tongue) here and there kind of mum. To look at me without my kids at my side one would say I was one of those 20 something young girls trying to find her way in life. I have a BA in Hyper Multimedia Design, I have 5 kids, I'm 30 and been married for 12 years. It proves your point, we don't judge others because you never know who they really are before you get to know them. You can also tell that I'm very open, won't hide anything, straight to the point and I'm brutally honest at times. Sometimes too honest at times. I'm rather enjoying this forum, it's a group of people who finally get it you know - finally get that it isn't easy, that's it's not all about the parents and their parenting, that sometimes parenting is truly harder for some people and children than it is for others. I'm so happy to find a group of parents that just get it. [/QUOTE]
