The problem is, we can never really know for certain that we've made the right choices. I think if we refrained from judgement and just tried to make the best of the decisions we've made, we'd all be better off. (Tall order, though, I suppose.)

I often think...You have left me thinking...thanks! I often think our own conflicts about the choices we make do translate into judgement of the choices others make. So simple and yet complex...this mothering and parenting....my thoughts for now...<br />@sheilaspeakingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844167015224368882.post-82965546152357071922012-06-07T16:54:18.948-07:002012-06-07T16:54:18.948-07:00I like your outlookI like your outlookmoplanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998309937928231527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844167015224368882.post-12902001820332000672012-06-06T20:08:29.927-07:002012-06-06T20:08:29.927-07:00Thanks FedUpMom.

I think framing discussions about important issues this way trivializes them. I also agree that there are no simple answers. (Thank, too, for your comment on my "Parenting is Hell" post. Seems like so long ago that I wrote it...)StepfordTOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340282997915000608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844167015224368882.post-21736371504269473682012-06-06T14:26:20.260-07:002012-06-06T14:26:20.260-07:00northTOmom, what an interesting comment.

I agree with you that there are no simple answers here, and I am heartily sick of the "mommy wars".FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.com
