Everyone has an opinion , which is great , but why is that some people just seem to deliberatley hold an opinion only in order to conflict with your own ! and then of course you get the 'I know best' people ! You know the ones that wait for you to say or do something before butting in with ' you don't wanna do it like thaaaaaat' Que Harry Enfeild sketch !!!

When you are a parent you are fair game to anyone falling into either of these categorys because there aren't many as opinionated as parents, especially mothers!!

I have 3 children, and have my own views / opinions on all aspects of parenting that i have experienced so far so why do some people seem to be under the dillusional cloud of thought that they have a right to tell me what i SHOULD be doing is this , or even that i would care wether baby blog was eating this at such an age , or doing that at such an age !

Some people are SO stuck on the idea that babies SHOULD do certain things at certain points on the timeline, that they 'should' be a certain height/ weight, or at a point in development etc, Why can't people just accept that all babies are different and that they develop in their own time and space and not just because a book tells you they should !

One thing i can't STAND is these parenting guru's ( apparently!!!! ) I won't mention names but you know the ones where generally someone who has never even given birth tells you what you are doing wrong and what you ought to be doing or else you are a rubbish parent !*tut* I think they are SO bad and put so much pressure on mums ( especially first timers! ) Don't get me wrong i don't think for one minute I am the perfect parent ( if such a thing / person exsists! ) and after 8 years of parenting I am still learning every single day ! ( and often by my mistakes! ) but isn't that part and parcel of being a mummy?
