I think it is sad all the people that judge. You never know someone's situation unless you were standing in that person's shoes, and in general it angers me that people like to judge when it really has nothing to do with them. There are all kinds of things I wouldn't have pictured myself doing before I had kids, or even before I have ended up in certain situations myself. I've even had to take one of my kids in the backpack on Black Friday, because my mother who came in town to stay and watch the others, couldn't handle when he woke up screaming that morning and wouldn't stop (acid reflux does that to some babies on a regular basis). I must say he was happy as a lark in his backpack people watching, and even better when we returned he actually napped with me!!!!! (Trust me, a for a mother who hadn't slept in months, it was wonderful.) That's what I love about life. We're all so different, and our different experiences lead us to different outcomes. Live and enjoy and let others live their own lives.
