Hello IM's just wanted to share a little story for all the other mums that everyone hates :) my parenting style seems to be the 'I would never do that' style... I have two boys, no I'm not going to try for a girl, I formula feed, my kids have never slept in my bed...they haven't even slept in my room! Straight to the cot for those little bubbas! I took them to two 3rd world countries, I work outside the home, the house is fucking messy, not dirty, just messy, I feed them packet food sometimes, I don't have a nappy bag...everything fits under the pram god damm it! And I sit there in play groups or around family where they talk about how they 'would never' do the stuff I have done! Lol my kids are awesome, happy and love life! And never have I felt like a bad mum! So if your like me... As long as our kids are fine so are you xx (please keep off Facebook)

I bottle fed from 3 months, my son has not slept in my bed more than 5 times in his entire life. Sometimes my house is a pigsty sometimes it's spotless sometimes it's messy.
Sometimes we eat Packet food too. We don't buy organic (I read the research it's a waste of money).
My son is so bloody happy and so am I.
You go girl!
Mothers who don't breastfeed, coddle, are on the P&C, bake cookies, walk around with a apron while holding a duster get bad rep. Everyone has a different approach to parenting I think if your children are feed, have a roof over there head, you love them and are doing the best you can do that's all that matters.
I have 2 beautiful children and often get complements on how well spoken, confident, kind and loving they are and I'm not even close to the ideal perfect mum and I don't want to be.
Good for you :)
I have a 3 month old, i bottle feed, he sleeps in my bed, my house is messy but hes happy, im happy so why bother judging other mums? More power to you all! :D Happy kids happy life!
I fed both my girls with formula, 2 weeks and 1 week respectively. I had a traumatic birth first time round and my milk didn't come in and so second time round didn't want to go through all the stress. My kids weaned themselves off the bottle at around two. My girls slept in my bed as bigger kids, when I was single, so I would let them bunk in with me because no one else was in it lol, but as babies they were straight into the cot. I didn't believe in babies co sleeping. Just my opinion. My place is messy at times, my partner is a lot tidier than me. I am messy, loud and so what if the clothes aren't folded. It will get fucking done lol. My girls are awesome kids and get along majority of times, and are best friends, even if they say they hate each other....I think I am a good mum, my mum has told me I am a bad mother but that's a whole other story, but I have learnt to not really give a shit. I swear like a trooper but my kids do not. They are lovely little beings....you sound like a cool chick...keep up the top work, and screw those perfect mums lol
Ohhh.... I REALLY want to post this one on facebook though!!! :-D I think you would find a lot of other amazing mums over there like yourself.... :-D
Big hugs! xKelly (The Imperfect Mum team)
