It honestly felt like I was on 24-hour-a-day crisis watch because all th potential dangers they point out.

Eat lots of pasta and rice to lose weight (remember the 80s). No wait, carbs are the enemy. Eat lots of protein. No, wait, it causes cancer. Dairy products aid weight loss. Wait, no it doesn't. Drinking water is great for weight loss. Wait, drinking water has virtually no effect. <BR/><BR/>I could go on.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029688054535688962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-90370186074254993992008-04-09T10:30:00.000-05:002008-04-09T10:30:00.000-05:00Jen - My advice to new mothers or prospective moth...Jen - My advice to new mothers or prospective mothers? <BR/><BR/>Don't read them.Tracee Sioux, Sioux Ink: Soul Purpose Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511311972798310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-22646971581568292042008-04-09T09:37:00.000-05:002008-04-09T09:37:00.000-05:00wow, my anxiety just kicked into hyperdrive after ...wow, my anxiety just kicked into hyperdrive after reading that. <BR/><BR/>it's because of those parenting mags that i'm TERRIFIED to have a child (even though a baby is something i want more than anything ...) <BR/><BR/>generations of people have made it through the world just fine without all these stupid contradictory precautions. now, all i have to do is convince myself that it'll all be okay.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13291192951137734705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-273844976074002662008-04-09T08:46:00.000-05:002008-04-09T08:46:00.000-05:00I feel the same about all children to a certain de...I feel the same about all children to a certain degree. <BR/><BR/>I knew a woman who was telling me a "horror story" about her child being scratched on an outdoor toy at daycare. She was furious at the lack of supervision and found a new daycare. <BR/><BR/>I thought, well they are children. They play and get bruised and scratched and skinned knees.

We were discussing the fact that we have both stopped the dramatic inhale of breath (the oh shit breath) everytime they fall, crash, bang, or slightly injure themselves. She also made the comment that she's learning to accept that all the bruises, scrapes and carpet marks on them is just apparently going to be normal for the next 10 years.. Which leads me to wonder just what she might have been thinking about them and my parenting skills before she came to that conclusion. But that's a whole different subject.<BR/><BR/>I don't read those magazines anymore. At the doctor's office I'll flip through one and think "I don't need someone to tell me how to play, or feed or protect my child" "They're alive arent' they?" <BR/><BR/>AshleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
