[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]F*ck Kelly Hampton.  I am not even going to bother to read that cr*p.  Do yourselves a favor and stop comparing yourself to other ppl.  Repeat after me "you are a good mom".  Kids benefit being around 'normal' people...not some glamorized version to benefit those looking inside the house from outside.  You have no idea what goes on insider her house...only what she wants you to see.[/quote]

Do you think that all parents are created equal?  I don't.  I DO think that there are parents who ARE better parents than I am.  Whether that's because they have more patience, more education about parenting/child development/educating children or more time b/c they have more $$ to pay for help...it doesn't matter WHY.  But I do compare myself to other people in parenting b/c its my JOB.  Don't you compare yourself to others at your job?  If I didn't look around and see what the 'competition' and other, more talented folks do, I would likely have been content to do the sorta kinda ok work I did when I got out of grad school.  Instead, I looked at what people ahead of me or in more challenging positions did or people in leadership roles did and I learned from them.  Did it make me feel a little $hitastic when I did that?  Sure.  B/c I was still learning.  I feel like I'm still learning as a parent, too.  Don't you?  Or do you know it all already?  Or are you content with "I'm doing the best I can" approach?  If you parenting as a "career" then you would might feel the need to improve yourself a bit more.  [/quote]
