Ok, so I am starting to relax about the idea that I'm going to be a bad mom. I have been thinking and by staying with my parents, I am doing the best thing I could do for my baby because I ill have the resources to take care of him/her that i might not have if I were out on my own. And, up until recnt generations, children have been raised with more family around full time than just the parents, so I'm slightly more ok with this.
I've pretty much figured out that I will be a hippy mom. I want to make my own food, practice baby wearing, try elimination communication and otehr stuff like that. I want my baby to be as healthy as possible. I'm also thinking that co-sleeping is a good idea; I slept with my parents until I was 8 or 9.
Someday I want to own a little farm and learn how to make cheeses and stuff like that. I think it would be exciting and more fun than living in the city. I want goats, sheep, small ponies, and some chickens. I would have to learn how to skin animals and not be grossed out by it, but i could do that.
Ok, well I am quickly running out of things to talk about so I'm gonna post this and call it a day.
It's more an AP style than a hippy, I must say. AP moms are more in tune with their babes and the babe are happier and more secure cuz they know mama will always be there.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to have a farm someday. But you can make cheese with out it, there are gobs of recipes online. And the Joy of Cooking has both the cheese recipes AND how to skin animals hee hee.
