I Don't Care What You Think!

Overachieving moms, please take note. I don't care what you think. Please stop sharing all your overachieving wisdom with me.

I know that the brand of bottles I use used to contain BPA. But I got the new ones that don't have it. No, I don't buy organic baby formula online. I just use the mass produced stuff. Gasp! And yes, my son is not yet a year old, but is no longer on breastmilk. So cast your knowing, judging looks my way. I'm so sorry my body stopped making milk at 8 months despite my ingesting herbal supplements, drinking obscene quantities of water, pumping until I was raw, etc. That it didn't happen to you makes you a far superior mother, clearly.

Sometimes I use bottled water instead of dutifully filling my aluminum bottle. Oh no! I recycle those bottles, but I'm still sucking, apparently. My kids even have their own aluminum bottles, for the record. But sometimes I forget them, and I have the bottled water as a backup. So yes, I'm ruining the earth for your children, and laughing maniacally while I do so.

I use disposable diapers. Yep, I do. Something else in the landfills. I haven't even tried the responsible ones. I'm a terrible person. Don't bother telling me, I already know.

My kids' food is not all organic, and I also buy bottled baby food! Yep, I don't take daily trips top the farmer's market and then steam veggies to be freshly ground for my baby. Clearly I don't love my children.

And finally, let us not forget vaccinations. Yes, my child is going to get the diseases they're being vaccinated against, which is just what I want. Who doesn't want their kid to get Polio, after all? I love watching them get the injections, too. It's so fun holding my baby down while he cries.

So you're super well informed, all around, and I don't love my kids enough to read about anything. Or perhaps I have read about stuff and am making choices based on budget, time & my doctor's advice. Just maybe.
