Thanks but NO THANKS

So annoyed with people who think they can raise your kids better then you because you know they did/do such a stellar job with the ones they have.

 Lets start at the beginning. P&E's 6 month appointment was yesterday. A little late but we waited until they were fully recovered from the RSV before I wanted them to get shots. My dad had mentioned to me that Ella never tilts her head to look up she just throws her entire body back or when she does her eyes roll and shes looks like shes in pain. I mentioned this to the Dr and showed her and she was slightly concerned and said she needs physical therapy and that would probably be it. Me as a mother of course I'm going to worry isn't that apart of the job! but I truly believe its just a stiff neck she is my baby A she was head down in my pelvic for 16 weeks with her weight and some of her sister on her in the womb. So yes I'm concerned but I know thats just it.

I get a phone call last night from a family member giving her advice...oh yeah here we go another let me tell you how to raise your kids know it all. This person with out asking for details about the situation with Ella address it head on. She tells me Ella is just a lazy baby like Corey is now. Okay really I understand hes in Iraq but why is every trait personality and look wise come from Corey. I find it quite funny that they are starting to look like me what will they do now!! Secondly he's not lazy yes on his days off less motivated but not lazy. Lastly it takes more for her to throw her self back them to tilt her head back use your brain. Then here is the kicker she tells me I don't hold them enough WHAT! I'm a flipping mom of twin I only have 2 arms yes I can and do hold them both at once but who wants to do that. Also there is enough hands in this house they are held plenty. I am quite proud of the fact that I can sit my 6 month olds in their bumbo's with their basket of toys and they can play until they're ready for a nap. I tried sooooo hard not to have spoiled babies. So if I'm a "bad mom" because I dont hold them all the time or hold them to put them to sleep like you would like so be it. I can lay them in their beds at nap and bed time and they go right to sleep thats an accomplishment to me. So thanks for your advice but I dont need it you see your 6 hours you spend with them a week to my every second of every day doesnt give you the right to tell me what I should and shouldnt be doing with COREY AND I's kids. We're the parents and we make every parenting decision together!



End rant lol :D
