Main reason...

...why we have put Cayden out of his Crib: he was shaking it so hard that he was putting dents in our wall. You might say "then move his crib." to that I say.. Shut up.. :) No.. kinda jk.. He's also started taking chunks of wood out of the crib sides. And they are curved sides so there's really nothing to put on it to make it better..

And really.. I don't need to justify the way I do things.. I don't need to feel like I'm being a bad mom by starting him out on just a mattress too early.. He has some bad days but mostly he's really good with it.. I already feel like a crappy mom.. so really I don't need it from anyone else.. Thanks. And you know what... No one is perfect.. If you don't like how straight forward I am then you can just not read my blog.. I don't really care. :)

Yes I'm coming off as a real raunch.. but I'm just sick of people judging me and making me feel stupid for the things that I am or am not doing.. Sorry my son's on a mattress and not in a crib.. Sorry my son doesn't talk yet.. Sorry he's not as perfect as your kids.. Get over it.. UGH! And it's not just people on this blog who make comments.. its people in my life in SLC.. It drives me up a wall when people think they have the RIGHT to tell me how to teach my son how to speak, or how to do this or that.. Stop comparing my son to any other kid the same age.. Every kid is different.. Every kid does things at their own pace. I work with him.. I'm not a bad mom! Even though I feel like I am sometimes.. JUST STOP BEING JUDGEMENTAL.. I don't judge your kids.. I'm not that kind of person.. Every kid is his own self.. Deal with it..

Whoa!!! I never said you were a bad mom. I was just curious! I hope I didn't make you feel that way because I certainly didn't mean to if I did!

You're right, you don't have to justify anything...and it's hard to hear what people have to say about stuff...esp when it comes to your own kids. It's hard to grow that tough skin and not be so sensitive...but its something work towards. I have a hard time with it still! You are doing the best you can as a mother, like we all are....
And don't take comments as judgements....sometimes it isn't being said like you think it is!

Love ya, sis...just take a deep breath! And I hope Cayden takes a good nap for you!

I never see people judging you on here? It seems like they're just trying to help, since your posts are obviously a call for some sort of help or assistance. He's over a year right? Nothing wong at all for him to not be in a crib. Shoot, as soon as i could walk, my mom put a chair next to my crib so i could get out by myself and not wake her up.
Don't worry so much about what people may or may not think, your judging yourself too hard. Be confident and secure in the good mother you are being.
