Please, please - head over and take a look at my writing, and all the other talented writers over there. Here's the link:

More interesting posts to come (I have a TON of ideas lately) and as always, feel free to comment.

Thanks for the support!

15 Things That Make You a Horrible Mother: According to Sanctimommies (Hint: You’re Probably Doing Them

 A Game : For each thing you did/do, take those points and add them to the end to find out just how horrible a mother you really are:

1. Having a Hospital Birth (Why didn’t you have a dangerous home birth with an unqualified midwife – it’s much more natural?) - 5

2. With an Epidural (You’ll end up with a C-section; How will you bond with a drugged up baby?)- 6

3. Having an unplanned C-Section (You didn’t really give birth, and it probably wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t been in the hospital, using an epidural!)  – 8

4. Having a planned C-Section (How selfish! Choosing convenience over the magical experience of giving birth) - 10

5. Formula Feeding (Why would you feed your baby poison!?) - 6

6. Using Disposable Diapers (Well, if you want to ensure your baby has lots of rashes and you hate the environment….)- 5

7. Working (Why even have kids if you’re not going to raise them?!) - 10

8. Working at Home (How can you possibly pay enough attention to them if you’re working – it’s just confusing for them.) - 7

9. Staying at Home instead of being an Example about working women (Why would you waste your education and talent JUST staying at home. What do you DO all day? Aren’t you bored out of your mind not having any work to do?)  - 6

10. Doing Cry It Out (It’s abusive!)- 9

11. Using a Stroller (Sure, keep your baby penned in an unnatural device that you push far away from you.) – 5

12. Crib Sleeping (Babies are supposed to sleep close to their moms so they feel safe) - 7

13.  Screen Time (Any tv time at all will rot your kids’ brains) – 6

14. Homeschool (Are you a crazy religious fanatic that doesn’t believe in science or history?) – 6

15. Public School (How can you let the government indoctrinate your children?!!)-6

Tally up your score.

0-10: You are a horrible mother but you’re redeemable. Maybe you should listen to me!

10-30: You are a horrible mother. Buy my book and you will be better!

31-60: You are a horrible mother; you should probably not have more kids though!

60+: You are a horrible mother, give your baby to me to raise!

Seriously – we’re all doing the best we can. Short of endangering our children (or others’), abusing them, or neglecting them – you are NOT a horrible mother. We’re in this together. Good luck, mommas.
