Hi girls,
Been catching up on my reading and there has been lots of discussion on what's best for our little ones. I'm sure every mummy wants the best for their baby. But there are different circumstances faced by each of us. Some of our in laws fall in love with the baby and would love to take care of them. Others have their own lives and see the new addition as something they can play with, but not to take care of. Either way, both do love the baby in their own different ways. So, there truly isn't any verdict on, my parents love the baby more than yours or how we should measure love.
Each of us aim to do the best by our baby, and if there are better ways to do so within our means, I'm sure no mummy would hesitate. So let's give each other the benefit of doubt. We could advise and suggest ways to improve the situation, but really... if we aren't in that mummy's situation, would we really know what is doable and what isn't? The thread seems to be harping on our expectations of each other as mothers more often lately. Let's not forget, it's a discussion thread. We learn from each other, but let's not pass judgement on one another as well. It's hard enough taking care of a little one and feeling lousy for not doing a good enough job at it w/out having others pointing out what we should have been doing as well.
PS: Sigh... I'm missing my little girl a lot. Still another 1.5 weeks to go overseas. Am slowly counting down the days to when I get to go back.
