I'm not wrong

you are...a link to a new study from the UK about co-sleeping popped up on my newsfeed today. (Not sure I can take the report seriously when they misspell pediatrician, but thats just me.) Of course when you read the comment section (you know, the place where fucktards live that I cannot avoid reading?) it turns into a giant shitshow over who is raising their children correctly and who is scarring them for life. Here's my take on it..I need sleep like a junkie needs heroin..I can sleep whenever, wherever, however in any position at anytime of the day. I shit you not when I tell you I can down a red bull, chased by a five hour energy and take a nappy-nap 30 minutes later. I cannot sleep in a bed with a child. That's not to say I didn't fall asleep in a recliner with an infant...just didn't in bed. If it works for you, have at 'er. On occasion, Miss Jaci will fall asleep watching a movie and I will just move to the couch, or wake her snoring fanny up because even a king size bed does not yield enough space for the tornado Miss Jaci is when she sleeps. But if you can sleep with a tornado, that's your business.
 I will say that if your 12 year old is still sleeping with you and your spouse every night, you may have an issue or two we need to address. BUT, no matter your sleeping habits with your children, co-sleeping does not make your child stronger, smarter, healthier, happier, or better than mine, can we agree on that?
It's like breast feeding. If that is what works for you and your children, God bless. It was not a decision that was right for me. Does that make my children less than yours? I highly doubt it, as I know plenty of "sickly" and not so bright children who were raised on the breast. (And my kids are pretty kick ass. They are bright and rarely get sick, and were raised on a bottle.) (And yes, you can show me x,y, and z research that says otherwise and I can show you reports a, b, and c that contradict your findings...you can find studies that say whatever you would like them to say.)
I think we, as mothers, (and dads too if you want in on this conversation) need to stop competing against each other and trying to one up each other. What works for YOU, your children and YOUR FAMILY is the best way to do it, even if it differs from how I did it. What worked best for ME, was the best way for MY family to do it and just because it was different, does not mean it was wrong!
If you choose cloth diapers over disposable..I may say 'Seriously?' and call you a glutton for punishment, but if that is what you choose, so be it...its not my ass thats getting diapered and I'm not the one doing the laundry, so really what's it matter to me?
If you make your own soap, your own baby food, household cleaners and hand sew all of their clothing, I may, behind your back call you crazy, but..if it works for you...Bravo! Sew on my sister, sew on...just don't think less of me if I buy soap and baby food and have a frequent shoppers card at Children's Place.
If at the end of the day our children are happy, healthy, well fed and thoroughly loved, who gives a fuck how we did it?
