I tend to agree with you. I used to take the Brazenette to a playgroup at this one woman's house. I liked the other mommy's in the group. But then, I noticed that the woman who hosted the playgroup was constantly and furtively removing other baby's hands from her daughter and from her daughter's toys. As if their
germs might contaminate her.
Sheesh. They're babies! It's in their nature to drool and mouth everything.
My mother constantly harps on me because I allow the Brazenette to crawl on the ground outside which gets her clothes dirty, I allow her to put rocks and mulch and grass in her mouth (although I've been known to fish it out) and I allow her to fall down all the time.
As a result, I have a daughter who appreciates that sun and grass and an afternoon outside with mommy is a pretty awesome way to pass the time. I have a duaghter who understands that gravity is a bitch sometimes, but who almost always manages to keep her head up when she take a tumble. I have a daughter who rarely cries, unless she's hurt herself bad.
I hope I'm raising a daughter who is fearless and adventurous. I've learned that an empty 2 liter soda bottle makes a damn fine toy, thank you very much. And I know its about the love and attention she gets, rather than the money or sacrafices I make.
edited to add: I'm not sure I had a point here, so I apologize...I started out wanting to add something but I think I ust ran out of steam.
