I am the lazy one! Please, I beg to differ! You would never understand how much effort i put into raising my children to be independent and fully satisfied with life! Laziness is an everyday part of our worlds thinking. Laziness is giving my kid the breast just because i don't feel like taking 5 minutes to try to find out the real problem. ( Read more... )

Keep up the good work girl. The critizism for Babywise is all done by ignorant people who have never even read it. If they did, they wouldn't have anything to say about it. We've seen the difference in our kids compared to others. The results speak for themselves. You are the best mommy and I've never seen you sitting on the couch being a lazy mom!

The person who left the note was obviously a troll who went looking for someone or something to criticize. This happens a LOT on LJ (esp if you're a fan of Babywising, as I've learned). DNFTT-Do NOT Feed the Troll. If you ignore them, they'll go away because they're not getting attention from you or anyone else. Chill...just chill a nd ignore the stupid anonymous troll who happened to violate the sanctuary of our happy Babywise home, ok? :)

crying for a little bit never hurt a baby!.... I would only be stunting them to hold them and feed them 24/7.

While your children may be bright, their mother should learn how to form proper sentences and use a spell check feature ( ... )

Good grief!! Get off the sentence structure crap!! WHO GIVES A RIP!!! If you can't read it... DON"T!!! I didn't mean to bash anyone! I was in the heat of the moment and was fighting back like any normal human being! I don't mind people doing things differently than i do...but stop bashing us for what we do!

If this form of "parenting" wasn't leading to child abuse, your post would be hilarious.

Lady, your kids might be smart, but it probably wouldn't hurt you to review your posts before you make them- that grammar and lack of paragraphing was painful to read.

I would like to ask you a couple of things- fine, you say that Babywise works for you... BUT...

~ Where is the evidence that 'disciplining' a baby works? An infant is not going to understand cause-and-effect or "good" and "bad" behaviour. I challenge you to find me a scientific study proving that.

~ Lazyness is allowing your kids to eat sleep and scream when ever they feel like it...Laziness is also not reviewing the spelling when you post to LJ, too, so I hardly think you're an authority on the matter ( ... )

WARNING: THIS MY NOT BE A PERFECT ESSAY. STOP READING NOW IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE ANYTHING THAT ISN'T PERFECT!!!

I just want to make it clear that i didn't write my journal to be corrected by every Tom, Dick or Harry. I wrote it to respond to a reply that someone gave me! Forgive me if it was painful to read...you should have stopped! No one asked you to read it or reply to it.
About reading the book! Try finishing it! I have NEVER made my kids sit in a messy diaper, not fed them when they were hungry or not held them when they needed some love! I simply meet the need at hand! No where in book does it say to deprive a child or anything close to it!
Scheduling. My kids are on a schedule and yes we follow it close. However, the schedule is nothing that can't be changed! We live in a changing world and my schedule changes when it needs to be changed!
By the way, if we are both raising happy kids let's allow eachother to do the best that we can do!

Why are you under the incorrect assumption that we ignore our babies? Babywise moms feed our kids when they are hungry, let them sleep when they are tired and change them when they are dirty. Babywise doesn't tell us not to, in fact, it tells us to be diligent and learn our babies cues so we can meet their needs instantly. I don't understand where your statements are coming from. And there are no rigid schedules in babywise. It's about routines, not schedules. Check the facts woman. Maybe you should read the whole book before you assume you know what it says.
