I would be proud too. I am with McKenna, I feel very proud that my baby goes to sleep at 6:30 p.m. and sleeps until about 7:00 a.m. Now only if she would nap right now. @Sharon - That is a great suggestion!

The great thing about being a mom is we all have things we can feel proud of or things we feel we got "right." Mine is my kids' bedtime. They go to bed at 7pm and 7:30pm every night.... nah-nah-nah-boo-boo! If I had a 21 month old who was potty trained, I sure would be proud of myself! Way to go!! :D @Jenn,

Anyway, I think mothers have to do what they have to do to get through the day. So, I think there is no reason we should pass judgment. After all we are all raising our own individual, thinking human beings. No two children are a like. Another note, it is true my 21 month old is potty trained, but we definitely have other hurdles to deal with. I like listening and reading how other mothers handled different things. Sharon, I really like your suggestion ...I actually used it today. Thanks. I am really not or try not to be a competitive mom, I was just feeling feisty the day I wrote that last respond.

I live in India and here everyone likes to tell you what to do, and even though it may be well intended, sometimes there is a fine line between offering advice and wanting to be heard because you feel you know better - often that line is crossed.

One of my friends, Allison, has been such a good example to me. Most of the time, if I was frustrated with my son, she would let me vent and say, "oh, I'm sorry that happened" instead of "well, you should do this and that." I always appreciated that about her. Or, if she was going to offer advice, she would say something like, "you know, my son did the same thing, and I found (this thing) helpful." Kinda like the personal experience advice Melissa mentioned. I have tried SOOO hard to be careful with this b/c I tend to be one of those “private” people that doesn’t like unsolicited advice.
