It is so easy to question yourself and wonder if you are handling everything the "right" way. I'm realizing more and more that I need to ask God for wisdom and then just do my best and not worry. Although that is easier said than done! :)Letting Fear Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042338240224215000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-45434592095464343902015-11-30T17:05:30.730-05:002015-11-30T17:05:30.730-05:00I completely agree!

It is a good and a very bad thing, you know. I so often just have to let go and trust God believing we're doing the best we can. <br /><br />Hugs to you mama. Thanks for opening up and being real.

Just do what you feel is right for you and your family and you will do fine...no one does every thing just right and who always knows what is just right for your family....And above all don't listen to the media because since when do they know our values or what is right for us...Just hang in there and all will be o.k...Just look how you turned out...Love GramAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-73301946101659421262015-11-30T13:33:56.756-05:002015-11-30T13:33:56.756-05:00I think this is great advice! & unfortunately ...I think this is great advice! & unfortunately worries as a mama never really goes away (I have a 3 and 5 yr old), you just learn how to better go with the flow on things, and what to listen to and what not to listen to. I completely understand where you are coming from, though. It's good to hear advice from others on what works best for their baby, but just as you said what works for others might not always be best for your baby's needs.

Also, a lot of it I put on myself. I know MY child better than anyone but when someone points out something I automatically start thinking whether or not I'm doing my best for him. Example, a mother at daycare said braggingly that their child was potty trained. I automatically started feeling guilty that Jack isn't. I try to just not worry about what other's say or the guilt I put on myself. Parenting is hard enough without added pressure. The younger kids are the more pressure you get from other mothers and family members. Ashley Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117662794818677894noreply@blogger.com
