I am done with reading that stuff too! We can do much better without it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655442007668000861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509955153113617209.post-28817093624041025852013-03-14T16:28:44.296-07:002013-03-14T16:28:44.296-07:00Have you read the rebuttals to that article?

They need room to be themselves without us gawking over their every move. Trust your gut! You are a great mom, and we are only supposed to do our best, and that includes taking time for ourselves and the lives we lead.MommieBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484576066653591849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509955153113617209.post-73214870454341470762013-03-14T10:25:54.500-07:002013-03-14T10:25:54.500-07:00Thank you - your kiddos too.

I felt like I was drowning in the pressure. I've just donated all those books to the library and I'm going with what feels right for me and us. Mommy being sane is probably more important than most things ;)<br />Breathing is good!

The book ruined me b/c I felt like I should never, ever leave his side. I still get pangs of guilt about putting myself first. I had horrible post partum depression b/c I couldn't push him out of me, c-sections create distance didn't ya know, the book told so. Now, I try to follow my instincts, read less how-to books, and breathe. You are a great mom. J is lucky to have you:)Amy https://www.blogger.com/profile/08033963291352526107noreply@blogger.com
