Think we can offer advice, but then it's up to the person to either try it and find it doesn't work or not try it. Even when you've had 5 children, as I have, you still don't know everything. I love your post Tracey .... such wisdom as always.Lottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590398670143200396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750324264374978784.post-53450426729625345942012-04-07T17:03:13.261+09:302012-04-07T17:03:13.261+09:30Great post!

I have to say I've found that being a mum has meant that its open season for other peoples opinions - parenting seems to be that one topic (other than the weather!) that everyone has an opinion on - and for some strange reason people think its completely OK to share it! <br /><br />I've sadly no tips as to how to prevent these situations being stressful, I tend to adopt a flight response when my darling girl is going into meltdown mode. It saddens me a lot and makes me feel like a failure that I can't intercept her behaviour and calm her down, like you see some (super)mums do. I also get really anxious when I'm thinking others are judging my parenting in public places - I consider this karmic payback though because when I was childless I too frowned at the frazzled mum in the supermarket with the screaming toddler (can I say I am SO sorry to her??). So yeah, my solution is - pack up and get the heck out of Dodge when baby goes off the rails. Would love a more sane solution though!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711307251415346762noreply@blogger.com
