All-Star Mom

I still find myself frustrated over my cousin's facebook status the other day... "i'm wondering how others can be so inconsiderate?? i have a new baby & i'm not taking her out only a couple days old." That really pissed me off. I wish was an all-star mom like my cousin. All I wanted to do was tell her to go to hell. Why be so judgmental of other moms. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on how to raise their babies. We may not always agree, but there's no reason to bring it up on facebook. Of course, I told her that was sh!tty of her. Then, after other mom's took her side, I deleted my comment and gave up. However, I'm STILL fuming over the whole thing!
I'm a new mom. no where near perfect. never will be. don't plan to be. I had never held a baby, changed a diaper, much less knew how to care for one. I've struggled with depression in the past and I didn't want to get PPD which would affect my baby. I knew that if I didn't try to make things normal for myself I was going to slip into depression. Not to mention I was terrified of being alone with the baby & that was coming quick! So, we went out a couple of times. It was good for me to see how to handle a baby in public from someone with more experience and of course the help of my husband. We always made sure his stroller and car seat were covered entirely. Maybe once we forgot the blanket when he was a couple weeks old. Guilty there. And I only had to change 1 diaper in public. Call me selfish. Call me inconsiderate. Call me whatever. Just don't call me a bad mother for trying to figure out whats in the best interest of my child.

There. I've spoke... well typed, my peace. OH, I've also made it my mission to not judge other moms. It's uncalled for really. You get nowhere by doing it. So why waste precious time judging others when you can be focusing on your own child?! Okay, I'm seriously done now.
