[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for all of the helpful advice.  The comment from my Mom really stung but I would not make a life decision based on what my mother says.  Yes I'm far too old for that (37).  I usually ignore her criticisms because we are very different people but this one got to me.  By the way, there is nothing wrong with an exersaucer or car seat per se.  [b]My DS has torticollis and his physical therapist advised me to limit his time in devices like this. [/b] [/quote]

Very true.  (Those people who had issues with your  exersaucer stance should feel like asses for inserting themselves where their questioning is medically inappropriate.)

Remember back when you were young, age maybe 5-20+, and there (maybe) was an old grandma/granddad, and your mom and dad or parents or whatever were like the "active" and operative part of your family?   Guess what....your mom is now "old people" and YOU are the central generation of your family.  You have your own thing going, and she may be your mom but she is no longer in a position to question your decisions.  She can offer advice when asked.  When asked.

Own your life.[/quote]
