[quote=Anonymous]The original question was "Dealing with judgement"?  The simple answer is this - Why do you care what other people think of the choices you make for your family? I don't "deal with judgement" because I don't allow other people to influence my feelings for the choices my DH and I make for our family.  Those people simply do not get my time, attention, or energy.

I'm likely much older than you, OP.  My oldest child is 29 and married with a child of his own. My youngest is a high school senior.  I'm 52.  One thing I've learned is that there will always be people in this world who are energy vampires.  They literally thrive on sucking the energy out of other people.  WOHMs and SAHMs are both guilty of this.  Learn to recognize these people and do not allow them to take from you.  Be polite but distant.  Choose to spend time with people who respect your choices.  The posters on this thread posting nasty responses (on both sides) are good examples.  These are not happy people.  And they desperately want you to be unhappy too.  Learn to recognize those people and do not allow them space in your life.[/quote]
