Welcome to motherhood. We get judged for everything. Before my son's diagnoses, I had a chip on my shoulder about the questions we received on homeschooling. Now I have one on the other shoulder over diabetes. I guess that makes me balanced out. One on each shoulder. heehee. Anyway, just wait until he is a little older and then they judge HIM. The mama bear really comes out then.

I felt the same way ...You know what...good for you! I felt the same way about Adam and his paci. He was a few months over 3 before we made him give it up - and frankly, he'd been through so much in his short life (cleft lip, cataract at 9 months, wearing a hard contact lens) that I thought - screw it, it comforts him, so so be it. He didn't even TAKE a paci until 9 months old when we had to calm him to put his contact in. <br /><br />So, I hear you. I still have those pacis up in my closet. :) And now that he's 4 and a diabetic...I wish I could give him one to comfort him sometimes.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703099150939801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-13202242764697089002010-12-02T17:26:14.924-05:002010-12-02T17:26:14.924-05:00Good for you for standing up to him! The thought ...Good for you for standing up to him! The thought of all he said, just has my blood boiling for you! By the way, my kids did not get rid of their pacifier until 3 and it was not that hard or traumatic for them. With my second I was glad I let her have it that long and didn't worry about it at all.NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-52098279470573556832010-12-01T00:51:13.006-05:002010-12-01T00:51:13.006-05:00Love the PJ's and LOVE how you stood up to the...Love the PJ's and LOVE how you stood up to the guy!

I hope he thinks first about others and all that he just might not know the next time he feels compelled to say something.<br /><br />And by the way... two is NOT a medical concern...just because pediatric dentistry is near to my heart- i thought i would share that according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry: <br /><br />"Thumb and pacifier sucking habits will generally only become a problem if they go on for a very long period of time. (the upper front teeth may tip toward the lip or not come in properly and may affect the bite) Most children stop these habits on their own, but if they are still sucking their thumbs or fingers past the age of three or four, speak with your pediatric dentist."Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016963796201775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-79280396316320582252010-11-30T16:39:55.379-05:002010-11-30T16:39:55.379-05:00It's not like he's 15... my lord!
