After my first child, I judged every mom I saw.. I'll admit it..
I judged them for putting their kids to bed with bottles.. I judged them for not having their child potty trained by the age of 2..
I judged them for breastfeeding in public..
For letting their poor little baby bawl in a restaurant..
But then... I had 4 more children.. In a row..
I swallowed an enormous crow and then..
Put my twins to bed with bottles.. Not just a bottle.. I would throw so many in the crib with them in the middle of the night.. I was shocked at how many I found in the morning..
I not only didn't have my kids potty trained by 2.. It was more like 3.. And even I was contemplating wearing a diaper because I had no time to pee.
Not only did I let my kids cry in public..I breastfed my children.. Right there in the booth at Ruby Tuesdays.. While I ate a giant hamburger and dripping ketchup on their heads..
I will never judge another mom as long as I live.. In Jesus name, amen!
