Having trouble accepting other peoples style of parenting...
Wasnt sure where to post this...
I have a group of friends in the uk who i went to school with years ago, we are all at that stage in our lives where we are having children, some have two some are just having thier first. I keep in touch with these people mainly via facebook.
I feel like a horrible person because i cant help feeling horrified when i hear about things they do in regards to thier children. I hate that im judging these people but i just feel like i dont even want to go on facebook at the moment because i know there will be something there that will upset me.
Two of them have had thier babies in the last week or so, one was her second and one was having her first, they are both talking about how thier babies are crying in the night and refusing to sleep in thier own beds and they are talking about was to change that....controled crying etc. One friend actually said ''you bassically just have to ignore them and not feed thm over night'' i spent an hour in tears after reading this and feel like i just cant be a part of this little group of friends who i have cherrished for so many years.
Im sure this makes me the problem becasue i know they love thier children and are, at the end of the day, just trying to do the best by them, but i just want to cry every time i read a comment from them or talk to them on chat. I havent voiced any of my feeling to them, i just try to recant how i did it with DD, for example, to the comments i metioned above i just said that DD (2 years) had only just started sleeping through the night in the last few days but i didnt mind that.
Dont even know what i want to get out if this post, just to get it off my chest might help. TIA
