at clara's pace...
don't you just hate it when other moms take it upon themselves to point out what you should do with your own kid?it's like a contest wherein whose kid has more toys, is smarter or develops ahead of everyone else. when did it be such a competition? don't they know that all kids are different? ya, sometimes i do compare my kid with others but i don't put the other kid down just because he/she is different from mine. what makes the other mom feel that she is such an expert just because she has a more progressed kid? it just pisses me off (pardon my french) because it makes me doubt my own progress as a mother. i know i'm doing ok with clara. and just because i don't stimulate her 24/7 doesn't mean i'm a bad mom. just because i don't babyproof every single cabinet in the house doesn't mean i'm neglecting my responsibility to keep her out of danger. i do things differently. i don't have a calendar to see if she is progressing according to her age group. if she walked earlier than those of her age group, then fine. good for her. if she should have n number of words in her vocalbulary by this time but doesn't, then fine. that's ok. it'll worry me from time to time but as long as i see her progressing, i won't stress out about it. if some things need adjusting, then i adjust accordingly. i don't want to be sucked into the world of competition with other babes coz i know it will stress me out and hinder my judgement and common sense when dealing with clara. |
