They're my kids, not yours.

There's that whole "crunchy" vs "silky" parent thing going on, right?

Well... I'm tired of it. There's too much competition out there now. We are all PARENTS. That is it. We are all trying to achieve ONE goal: to get our children out into the real world in one piece. To raise them to be productive, happy, and as normal as can be people.

I'm sure a lot of moms would have a massive heart attack that my 13 month old son had an oreo tonight. Well, half of one. I of course had to eat the other half because it was an oreo.

But besides all of that, we need to respect how people raise their children. You have zero rights to that child next to you. Yes, obviously if the parent is doing something horrible I hope you grab that child and try to make a break for it while using that fancy phone to call the cops instead of ignoring it and just doing a tweet or facebook status about the horrible thing the parent is doing.

Online baby groups for example: you rage and yell at someone at how horrible they are when they make a post about doing something... but what are the chances that you would say it to the person directly? Not a lot would.

So tonight I fed Luke an oreo after he refused item after item of food that he normally loves to eat because he has both his upper molars coming in and he barely napped. So I caved to get him to be quiet for 30 seconds while I beat my head through a wall. Then he was also happy for the following 5 minutes and not screaming. It. Was. Amazing.

You fed your child organically grown grass and goat milk. Or something equally gross. I'm not going to give you that look and be all "what the hell is wrong with you?!"

But I'm sure you'd love to give me a lecture on how horrible I am and how my child is going to grow up to be obese and diabetic or something.

I'm tired and cranky. I'm going to go eat my pizza, and find a good book to read in bed.
