breastfeeding, guilt, and education: getting personal

So, we had some hot topics this week on the SheKnows Mommalogues…where I may or may not have to mention the word nipple.
Also?!?
We have Candace Cameron Bure as our newest Momma member for the month of January!
{come on, you know you got a perm because of her character DJ Tanner on Full House too.}
And because you are busy people, here are a few you may have missed….

What is the hardest thing about being a mom?
Hardest part?  Did they mean to ask parts, with an “s” at the end?  I don’t mean to be a complainer by any means, and yes, parenting is one the most amazing responsibilities we have ever been given….but.  But.  It is hard.  So, let me just be honest with you guys.  And I’ll try to get it to the top 10.  Okay, 5.  Okay, okay….maybe I can narrow it down to 2.  But, one is just impossible.  Go ahead, call me Birth Control.  But, I can’t help but be honest.

Oh man.  My favorite topic.  I love to talk about breastfeeding.  I mean, you know, just as much as I loved doing it.  Which was not at all.  And before the Le Leche League comes after me, I should say that I really did give it a fair shot.  But, Taylor.  Oh, sweet Taylor….he just had this intense latch.  (come to think of it, he has an intense everything!)  And my breastfeeding parts couldn’t seem to handle it.  (neither sometimes, can my brain parts) Actually, it might be better for me to explain this in person.  But, be warned, it can get a little graphic.

At this point with Taylor being in 1st grade, I have to say I don’t have a lot of complaints.  I mean, he’s doing math.  So that’s good.  Plus, someone else is teaching him, and I quite appreciate that….because I have a feeling if I was the one teaching him, he not only wouldn’t be able to do math, but he wouldn’t want me as his mother either.  On the hand, when it comes to Jr. High and High School, that absolutely terrifies me.  Like, massively.  In fact, hold me now while I talk through it all.

We also talked about shoes (i die) and what we’re looking forward to in the New Year (no whining, please).

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
I so need this weekend.
And um, every weekend actually.

  1. Happy Friday and Happy New year to you! You are just so stinking cute:) Glad I stopped by today! Any chance I will see you at BlogHer in New York??

  2. “Leave that to the Duggers” – LOL!! Omg, that killed me. I’m getting the inkling that mommy guilt is pretty universal, yes? My bestie has it all the time 🙁 That scares me, as I’m really hard on myself as it is and it’s just me 😛

  3. Mommy guilt comes with mommy hood! There is no escaping it! Don’t let it worry you, it comes with the territory so just let it wash over you (I know, easier said than done). Anyway, to brighten your new Year, I have an award for you at my blog. I usually come from my writing blog but this one has a lot of readers who would love all you share.
