Lessons learned

Becoming a new mom I have learned some valuable lessons.

People can be mean. I am talking make you want to curl up and cry mean. As a new mom I seek out advice from other moms, with this being said I have noticed how mean other moms can be. No two moms are the same, nor should they have to be. We are all moms doing the best we can for our kid/kids at that moment, so really we should not be so mean to each other. Nothing makes me angrier when I am on FaceBook page or blog or any where a mom is asking for help, and some person posts something so mean and then the posts turn into why this way is better and people end up arguing over their idea. I don't find it helpful and I am sure the mom who is asking doesn't either. Stop judging her! I wish if people didn't agree with what she is doing they would just not respond or give her their recommendation in a nice constructive way. I wish they would stop tell her she is doing the wrong thing, trying to make her feel like her way is making her the worst mom ever, she isn't she is doing what she thinks is best.

Like most major events in your life, you will find out who your true friends are. Some of them will walk away because your life and theirs just don't match up any more. The friends that stand by you, will be amazing though.
