Hi from IN

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Hi!
I've been a subscriber to the magazine for about year now, love it, and finally decided to sign up for the forums!

I am a mom to two little boys, one is 2.5 and the other is 14 months. Truly the loves of my life and I am thankful for every moment I get to spend with them. Absolutely amazing!

I'm here because as I have tried to make more natural parenting choices for my family, I am constantly met with criticism and snide comments from many people in my life (breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cloth diapering, not using the cry-it-out method, not using a bottle, being with my children so much, choice of toys, etc. are just a FEW things that I have been criticized for in some form or another - the list is enormous). It is so discouraging to not have a lot of support (other than my husband, who is wonderful).

This seems like the perfect place to find a supportive community and I am so excited that I have finally joined!!

Welcome!

I think you'll find all the support you're looking for here! It's hard to make choices that aren't the "norm", but keep up the good work; it's worth it!

Welcome! I grew up in Indiana, and lived there until my oldest child was five, so I know how hard it can be to find support for natural/alternative parenting choices. I hope you find some like-minded locals here!
