Why does society in genral expect children to be controlled?
Not in a bad behaviour way, but in their daily routine.
Why do they have to sleep, eat, and play when it is convenient to their parents?
I have so many people who have a pop at me for doing things like feeding my children when they are hungry. If your child woke up in the night and couldn't get back to sleep because they were hungry, wouldn't you feed them? It has happened to my eldest a few times and I have fed her, which some people have absoultely slated me for. The thing is it only took 5 mins and she was back asleep, if I had left her to cry about it then we both would have been up all night.
And whats wrong with feeding a baby on demand? I eat when im hungry, not when someone tells me I can eat!
I don't have any strict routine with my children, I follow their signals, but they have fallen into their own routine that they are happy with and I must say is pretty good. They sleep 7pm-6am most nights.
Opinions?
