[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your kids all younger? I no longer have "triggers," now that my kids are older. I did when they were younger, but that was mostly me being insecure (which is not a judgement - that is totally normal) But now I genuinely believe we are all out here doing our best.[/quote]

OP here, I don't find any of these to be triggering -- I find it strange how intense and judgmental people can be on these subjects where, it seems to me, there are a broad range of right answers.

Agree it's normal to feel more insecure when your kids are young, or any time they start a brand new phase. But I also think it's made much harder than it needs to be by arguments that will go like: "breast is best, formula doesn't come with a mother's love" on one side, but then "people who breastfeed are willingly destroying their marriage and their kid's relationship with their father" on the other. It's crazy! Don't say stuff like that to new parents! They are stressed and need practical, measured guidance and lots of reassurance that it will all work out because usually it does.[/quote]
