DO NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE JUDGMENT OF OTHERS

As moms, as parents we are always making decisions based on what we feel is in the best interest of our own children. And of course there are always those people who come along, either to your face or behind your back, who have an opinion on what you should do or not do. Many times "they" want you to do good, just not better than them. Always remember, that those who truly love you and support you will always "have your back and be honest with you, without judging. Those who judge your decisions and give unsolicited opinions, have no clue and no moral compass. If people are talking about you, your family and/or your decisions, they probably have no right to be speaking of you to begin with, as they are probably not even your friend. Sadly, sometimes, advice and topics like this still have to be discussed even well beyond, school years. Some adults, forget they're actually not on the playground anymore.

Just remember that "Wolves (and warriors) don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep!"  

 

If you believe in your heart that your decision is right, moral, legal, not hurting anyone and a good fit for you or your family, then warrior on and do not let the opinions of others hold you back and/or hurt you.  Unfortunately, sometimes closed minds don't always come with closed mouths.

Simply remind them, that until they have walked in someone else's shoes, no matter what the topic is, they have no right to judge...and even then...it is best to either support or stay quiet!
