Something I shared on Facebook:
It's so very sad that people see an attached child as "spoiled." We carry our children in our womb for months, then they come into this unfamiliar world, and they depend on their mother/parents for all their needs. It's not black and white. You don't just feed and change your child, then leave them to self soothe. They need their parents for comfort, warmth, and nurturing. People wonder why children have anxiety and abandonment issues, you can't get angry with a infant for crying/being fussy, it is their only form of communication. Children are very complex. So think about that before you tell a mother their child is spoiled, needy, or whatever other backhanded comment you conjure up. Children need love, comfort, and warmth. Think before you speak 😊
Yeah I hate when people say that... my bf even said that the other day... I was like she is not spoiled.... When she cry it's for a reason she is wet or hungry or tiered... otherwise she is a happy baby...
@demytrismommy Same. Kids have melt downs as well, they're human. We as adults get frustrated, impatient, exhausted and sometimes we don't always contain it... So why do people expect children to be able to hold their composure? Makes zero sense.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
You can be racist towards the race of your friends.
You can be racist towards your own race.
You can be racist towards the race of your family.
You can be racist towards the race of your spouse.
You can be racist towards the race of your kids.
Your racism doesn't just stop being racism because 'X' is said race.
Racism is Racism.
Thanks for coming to this very well needed TedTalk.
Its like a common statement now, I can't help but roll my eyes when I hear it... People are genuinely ignorant. @embracemthrhd2 @mama_tj
