I love your response here… we need to all step up and shut down any mom “warring” behaviours when we see them in ourselves or our communities. We are all mom enough to support each other.

I mentioned the Time article in my post for Mother’s Day, and I’m right there with ya. It takes a much “bigger” mom to lend support to those who are different from us than it does to tear them down. Here’s my post:

I love this! Theses “wars” are fueled by too many feelings of inadequecy, but the REAL truth is that we ARE good parents and each of us is Mom Enough for our own kids.

Love your post! I am 100% behind you! I still have an urge to comment on other parent’s choices from time to time, but I try to stifle these as best I can.

I agree with you completely. I’m so over this controversy but I’m glad you wrote this because it needed to be said. 🙂

I totally agree!! Only you know whats best for you and your child when it comes to rearing them and today’s trends. I’m not a parent yet… but if God ever allows me to be one.. I’m sure there’ll be many trial and error days 🙂

**STANDING OVATION** Every family is in a different situation and what works for one likely will not work for another. And in every one of the debates you mentioned there are many shades of grey. NOTHING is black and white. We women must must must support and uphold one another instead of tearing one another down.

I haven’t written a response to the Time Magazine article as of yet, I, for once really didn’t know where to begin. I think you really managed to hit the nail on the head with it though. Being Mom enough varies greatly depending on your family, your needs, your child’s needs, and nothing else.
