that you aren't doing this parenting thing wrong?
I'm constantly wondering if I am creating a person that will be a gem to our society. By adhering to his every demand is he going to be the whiny, bratty child that everyone says i'm raising? To be completely honest, I don't know. I'm not sure if I'm any good at this mom thing.
I do know that I love being a mom. I'm not sure I have all the answers and on a day like today, when I have been criticized about my choices in parenting I'm not sure I give a damn. I love my son and I feel like he deserves to know how much I love him. I love him enough to give up doing what I want so he can be comforted by constant nursing. I love him to the point where my sleep doesn't matter, he wants to nurse and cuddle every hour through out the night then so be it. I love him enough to wash diapers every day because it's better for him. I love him enough to bring him into my bed early in the morning to nurse and snuggle until we choose to get up.
I love my son and i'm getting really sick of being told I'm raising a dependent child.
Personally, I believe a 2 month old should be dependent on his mother. God intended me to care for him and in my book that includes comforting him, soothing him, cuddling him, and loving him in all the ways that I am capable. I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom, he deserves all of my time and attention.
Maybe I'll regret my choice of attachment parenting someday, maybe I won't. Right now I'm enjoying loving my boy because today is all that really matters.
