revolution mom

cetain things must be clear
it is not appreciated that all the passers by decide that i need their advice about parenting
and i did not ask to hear about their story of how they had everything perfect and i should learn
no i wont spoil my baby if i carry her all the time because i think babies cant be spoiled and they need to be held
holding a baby is not wrong a sin or weird especially if the baby is yours
there is nothing wrong with taking care of your own baby
in our crazy culture it is the norm that the nanny does everything and the mom sits and relaxes

after a time of national stress where we had zero security i think it is legitimate that you hold those you love as much as you want especially if they are tiny and helpless, especially if you worked so hard to get them

why is it anybodys buisness if you wanna love your baby, sleep with your baby, hold your baby, or take care of your baby
its not like you are hurting anyone
its called love
is love weird now in Egypt ?

people give me looks cuz i take her on errands on her sling they say her place is home with her nanny
i disagree and i think im free to be as loving and as attached as i want
when it comes to babies everyone is an expert

a new mom has to smile and nod
and say i will consider that thanks

but me no i wont

because its revolution time and we can be free and speak our minds
