The worst was dealing with motherhood the first time and having people give me comments like “What a pity this baby didn’t get it’s mother’s milk” - WTF!

But as you said, we are the one “in charge” and we do the best given our circumstances and ability and hang those who thinks its not good enough.

The fact a woman put herself through 9 months of carrying the little tot, and then the birthing process, and nevermind the enitre mother nurturing, is already a leg up an any NON-mother so I’d really love for any mythical association between loving your kids vs not loving your kids depending upon “which milk comes where” to die the quick death it deserves to.

How asinine.

But as with many things, the general public feels it has some weird god-given authority to insinuate themselves into the private matters of women or mothers potentiate. [From conception to the raising of the kids.]

And the way I look at it. If women are so naturally inept at “it”; ergo deserving of the judgements, opinions, and beliefs of those otherwise not concerned in the slightest, then why has biology made it so WOMEN are the ones responsible for the biological processes of bringing a child into this world?

…and this…coming from a woman who has happily chosen a child-free life. So…I GET the entire “judgement” thing.
