Advantages: positive, informative, funny
Disadvantages: none
I've been called a hippy, a radical, other mothers tell me I'm 'dreaming', 'it's all very well in theory, but reality is very different' is what they say when I tell people I want to bring my children up in a natural instinctive style known as the 'attachment parenting' style. Yes I'm still pregnant and maybe I will end up doing things differently to what I planned but I'm so glad I found this website and at last a whole community of mothers with successful stories to get away from this total negativity I'm bombarded with.
www.compleatmother.com is the website of an American magazine which gives support and information for the attachment style of parenting (exclusive breastfeeding, cue feeding, baby wearing, co sleeping etc). It has loads of information and great stories written by mothers and experts that had me literally laughing out loud. There are message boards, email, postcards, poems, recipes, auctions, tons of really useful and interesting stuff. Above all its happy and its funny and isn't that what having kids is supposed to be all about??
I love this website and I'm really glad I found it, check it out, you might like it.
