Other parents are an easy frame of reference, because that’s what is around us and that is what we see. I don’t think there’s any escaping that. I love that you’ve decided to start writing your blog as a reminder of the good times that you do have with your family. It is easy to forget those moments :) xoxo P

I have ‘secretly’ started writing my blog, as a reminder to myself that we do have good times and do fun stuff especially on days when it feels like all I do is say NO! It’s very hard not to compare yourself to other parents no matter how hard we try, as it is sometimes the only frame of reference we see as a parent.

Judgement is something we all face. I think it’s felt more acutely as parents, like most other things. Thank you for sharing your story too.

I have 4 children that are 3 yrs. old, 2 yrs old, 1 yr old, and 4 months old. I get criticism all the time about the way I do things. I can be pretty hard on myself as well. God really spoke to me about this one day as I was tearing myself apart over some of the choices I’ve made that are different than what others choose. I love it when I come across an article on a subject that God has spoken to me about. It makes me realize I’m not the only one dealing with these subjects. Anyway, here is the link to the article I wrote. http://melissarampy.blogspot.com/2012/04/perfect-parenting.html
