Not Mom Enough

Are you prepared to see my serious side??

 

You know that picture on the cover of Time Magazine with the famous saying “Are You Mom Enough?” The article it’s self is based on attachment parenting, but what the pictures say is if you don’t breast feed you’re not mom enough. At least that’s how I took it.

Lately in the world of mommies breast feeding has become a big topic, but the only part of that topic I see covered on Time Magazine and all over Facebook is how the “breast is best” and anything else makes you a bad mom (and how slip’n a nip in public shouldn’t be a big deal if you’re breast feeding your child). Do you think Time or any of the fanatic mothers on Facebook ever stop to think about the moms who desperately want to breast feed their child but can’t, might feel by the plague of pro boobie propaganda being blasted in their face? Most likely not. I can’t speak for them from experience, but I can speak on their behalf from a lot of reading and research; not being able to breast feed your baby (or one that is “yours but not from you) sucks big fat monkey balls. Many mothers wrote that they felt like failures. Any parent or not the parent knows that feeling like you failed your little space invader(s) is a horrible feeling. So to make it worse for these mothers, the media and fanatic moms put BS out there on the internet to help them feel even more not mom enough.

If people want to post stuff about pro boobie, I am pro them, but they should not do it in a manner that looks down on others.
