Marsupials

This happens all the time:
Random stranger: She looks nice and snug in there. You won't be able to carry her for long though.
Me: Actually, it's really comfortable, i can hardly feel i'm carrying her.
RS: Yeah but she's going to get heavier.
Me: No it'll be alright.
RS: Rather your back than mine...

And is this said with kindness and concern in their voice? No, it's more like "you crazy woman, listen to me, tut tut".
Why do people do that, i don't go up to every baby in wheels and tell their parents they should carry their babies.
Isn't it strange that people think we are the only mammals who can't carry our own child? No one says anything to the kangaroos...

Cup of tea

En av de värsta sakerna med Sverige är de urk-iga teerna. Vill du ha te, frågas det? Oh, ja. A cup of chai, put the kettle on. Också får man en tepåse från lipton med ospecifierad fruktsmak (typ "röda bär"). Tvi vale!
Jag är inte den som säger att mat är äcklig, förutom välling och ersättning, men det här så kallade teet får ta hem priset!

Out with the old

It's time to have a clear-out in the blogosphere.
There was a lot of blogs i started to follow whilst pregnant, because it was kind of fun to follow them and recognise and compare notes. The thing is there is only really one pregnancy style, wheras there are plenty of parenting styles and i simply can not read certain ones anymore...

I never realised i was that different, i thought what we did was common. Turns out not so. There are plenty of people who think you can spoil a 6 month old baby by letting him/her sleep on the breast. There are people who don't think a premature baby needs breastmilk and because they can't suck they won't bother trying. People who think it's okay to leave their babies to cry for 1, 5 or 10 minutes because they need to toughen up and learn.

They have chosen to do this. It has nothing to do with me and i can't do anything about it, but i can stop reading about it and stop getting upset. So that's what i'll do. Goodbye!
