I am a mom to a 5 year old and a 3 year old and I had to leave a facebook mom group because I was getting harassed for how I was raising my kids and was called abusive for not letting my kids watch a certain show. I think that parents should do what is best for them and that I don’t think I’m better for raising my kids the way I chose to raise them.
Not giving my kids iPads. I understand we are in a world filled with technology, but their teachers can teach them how to use the technology. My 5 year old son is in kindergarten and he can use the school iPads and computers just fine. His teacher taught him that. Also for not giving them phones at 3 and 5. Like Why does a preschooler need a phone. I would never shame a mom for using an iPad considering some kids are special needs, but I don’t know why the opposite needs to be shamed either.
For naming my kids completely normal names. My kids are named James and Sophie. What’s wrong with my 5 year old son being named James and my 3 year old daughter being named Sophie. Why do we as mothers feel the need to shame people for what they name their kids. I don’t get why mom shaming is a thing. I have nothing against what another mom names her kids. You name your kids and I name mine. We don’t have to parent the same.
For disciplining my kids and not always getting them what they want. They need to learn that in life they aren’t going to get everything they want and are going to be told no for an answer, but of course I say yes sometimes. Kids need to be disciplined. I don’t mean beating a kid and yelling at them. I mean disciplining them.
Formula feeding my kids. They aren’t formula fed anymore by the way. I think there are many benefits to breastfeeding and that there are a lot of nutrients kids can get but I could not produce breast milk at all with either of my kids so I didn’t get a choice anyway 🙄. If I did I would have breastfed but I think moms should do what’s best for them.
Sending my 3 year old daughter to preschool and sending my 5 year old son to a public elementary school to start kindergarten. I think homeschooling can be great and if you do homeschool that it good for you! As long as your kids are getting an education I have no problem with kids being homeschooled or going to a private school. My daughter will go to public school when she starts kindergarten too. It’s free and it is the best choice for our family at the moment.
For not putting Cocomelon on for them. I got called abusive because my kids don’t watch cocomelon. They’ve seen it a few times but they don’t even like it so what’s the point in them watching something they don’t like anyway?
For making my kids eat fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are important and good for us to eat. I let my kids choose the fruits and veggies they want to eat with their meals or snacks as long as they get the nutrients. Some mom assumed that that’s all I feed them. Why would I feed my kids only fruits and vegetables that’s not healthy. They eat balanced healthy meals but they can also have sweets and deserts too just everything in moderation.

I am glad that you left this group. It is like you can't do anything right in their eyes. From reading your post it looks like you are doing a good job as a mum so keep it up! Best wishes to you and your children.
ReplyYeah. I cannot stand mom shamers. By the way Thank you!
ReplyThat's just what I was going to say. As long as they're eating thing's in moderation you're not doing anything wrong. Sorry you were mom shamed. And I've never even heard of cocomelon. Was this like a rich snob mom group? I'm sure you know what's best for your children. I don't see that you're doing anything wrong. The group was the problem not you. Take care :)
