In my line of work I see the caliber of mothers who warant a verbal attack in grocery stores and believe me, they would benefit from society coming down a bit harder on them. You are brilliant, fun, creative, talented, loving, fair and honest. You do not need to prove your love of your children or your great parenting skills to anyone. Don't harshly judge yourself. Also don't believe that this woman is a reflection of how you are viewed as a parent by society. Trust me she isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-23929980624976156392008-06-23T20:59:00.000-05:002008-06-23T20:59:00.000-05:00I think there is really something here.

Maybe it has something to do with the amorphous definition of good and bad mother. <BR/>As a second wave feminist, I have often rejoiced that the shame that used to infuse so much of female sexuality in the pre-pill days is largely as antique as the girdle!

This stranger saw a snapshot of your life and made this whole judgment about your character. What she might have failed to understand is that a truly bad mother would have abandoned the baby and kicked her sorry ass. I admire your restraint.

How did she know what he needed? If he was hungry and is only breastfed, there wouldn't be much you could do.

I am so sorry you had to deal with that kind of "I'm so much better than you" crap from another woman (one who perhaps doesn't even have kids, because you know, we're all good mothers when we don't have any kids of our own). <BR/><BR/>That's hideous.
