I find it strange too - if one of my girls are not happy I immediately look at my actions/words that day and wonder what I have done and how I could make it better! It would never occur to me that it was just the way they were, and that I was not somehow responsible.

Which gives me absolutely no credit for my parenting methods - which are far removed from hers! I find I can't always explain my parenting choices without people thinking I'm a little off the wall, and yet, I agree, I have one of the easiest going little girls around. I find it frustrating that people are happier to judge and put tags on things rather than look internally for answers.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is therefore incredibly reassuring to me! Thanks.

Credit where credits due I say! I made decisions about how I wanted to raise my son (co-sleeping etc) and I think that as as a result he's a happy, calm, communicative baby. love your site - when's the book coming out? <BR/>tara's friend karen who used to live in sri lanka but now lives in bangkok is my sister in law...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836537864196353013.post-43697225534878970532007-12-13T10:51:00.000+07:002007-12-13T10:51:00.000+07:00Well good on you James for making your 'voice' hea...Well good on you James for making your 'voice' heard - and good on you Georgie for responding with your follow up post. I don't know how I would have coped with E's colic / reflux / trapped nerve painful crying phase had it not been for a wonderfully supportive and hands on husband either. He encouraged the co-sleeping and the breastfeeding even when I had ridiculously hormonal doubts about whether it was helping etc. E is a living example of how you can transform a difficult entry into life (for her) and parenthood (for us) into a happy, loving, fully-attached and secure relationship. Thank you G for writing about it - it also helps me explain to others what it was like for us in those early months and a lot of the first year.

You are right and I should probably write more about the role of my own husband in raising our kids. <BR/><BR/>You have exposed a huge gap in my experience of parenting in that apart from my husband I hang out with women women women when it comes to parenting! I absolutely value the role of fathers and believe that children suffer greatly for the lack of a father or father figure in their lives. I suppose I write about what I know and I am also aware I use the word mother often when I should say parent. Thank you for picking me up on this. I welcome more ideas and input into my blog!Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595310111406646951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836537864196353013.post-52169514087065183262007-12-11T15:29:00.000+07:002007-12-11T15:29:00.000+07:00Whilst i agree with all your comments and believe ...Whilst i agree with all your comments and believe you give many valuable tips to parents i think you do not put enough emphasis on the importance of the father in the happiness of your children. it would be interesting to hear your views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
