I got a compliment!

[Heaven]

Yes, about gentle parenting! I almost died of shock! I have been away for a few days with family and it was from my Aunty who has always been vocal about how she thinks things I do like BLS, not letting DD CIO, using a sling, etc are ridiculous! Well, she hasn't seen her for ages anyway but this is what she said to me!!

DD: (talking away about stuff)
Her: She's very bright isn't she?!
Me: Yep! (lol)
Her: You should be very proud, you're doing a really good job.
Me: Well it's only been 19 months, haha
Her: No, seriously. I mean you've done some stuff that we all thought was crazy and out there but it's obviously working, you should be really proud of yourselves.
Me:

Wow! Then later I had my Nan tell me I was doing a good job too and that I should be proud!! Really made my day. I was disappointed because I thought that they thought I wasn't doing a good job. But I'm glad that I had time to spend with them and they could see DD for a few days and see how awesome she is and that what I'm doing works for me!

Well done!

It's always nice getting compliments and positive feedback Obviously your DD is a credit to you and everyone can see that

[Just Me]

Woohoo!!! That's awesome! It's great that your family acknowledge your parenting.

There is a really interesting article on the attachment parenting website today about a mum that went against the grain and her family thought she was crazy but followed her instincts anyway. I might see if I can find a link for you

We already knew that, but never mind

[Arcadia]

Yay! We are slowly taking over!

We know they're just stating the obvious!

[Heaven]

THanks guys! It was just nice to hear that, after always feeling like I have to defend my decisions to them because they think I'm some crazy hippy, LOL.

[Shanti]

That's awesome H!

I love it when people acknowledge what a great parent we are. Even though we know it . It just tops it off huh?!

Our babies are better off being gentle parented......so many reasons why!
