Parenting is such a subjective and scary thing. You can feel in your head you are doing the right thing but your heart might be confused - or vice versa. Humorously, some of the best and worst parenting decisions I made have been ones I was the most sure about making.

I think most of us who troll around blogs will admit to read the blogs of other parents and snorting smugly at some of their decisions. I read a small encapsulated snippet of someone's life and think to myself that I'd never let my child do that or that those people must be kidding themselves. Sadly yeah, it makes me feel better at times - playing armchair parenting expert is much easier. But much of the time I'm laughing at the antics of children, the twists of life and just how people adapt to whatever ends up on their plate.

I freely admit that is what I'm doing here. I'm no expert, if you want expert opinions head to any number of baby or peds doc blogs. But I do hope you can laugh, cringe or roll your eyes at me while I muddle along and I try my best not to really mess up with the kid that I have.
