The Mama Drama

I'm sure most people will have seen this by now, if not at least heard of it.

I was pretty grossed out by the fact that a four-year-old was still breastfeeding, but hey, that's just me, and whatever others want to do, that's up to them.  But the bit I was offended by was the insinuation that some of us might not be 'Mom Enough' because we didn't breastfeed until the age of 4, or don't practise attachment parenting (what the hell is that?  my kids are pretty attached to me, but they don't get to sleep with me every night, nor do I refuse to tell them no, for fear of traumatising them).  Epidural anyone?  I'm sorry, but I didn't see anyone handing out medals to those women in the maternity ward who chose not to have one.  For me, however the baby gets out, as long as the mother and baby end up happy and stress-free, is a successful birth.

And then I read this, and I thought, yes, there are sane people in this world, and I wish I'd written this, and I would love to meet this lady!

And So.

As much as I complain about my mother, I have just realised: me drunk = her sober nowadays. Is that that bad for an 80-year-old?
