You’re one of us now. And we’re going to tell you like it is. Because someone’s gotta let you know what this brave new world of yours is going to look like. Someone, that is, who isn’t your mother-in-law. You don’t need to hear her cackling outdated advice while you’re bleeding from your hoo-ha, no less, holding a wailing newborn, and you haven’t showered in three days.

In a time where bottle feeding was considered best for babies (more then 90% did it!), my mom had to fight for breastfeeding her girls. It’s hard to imagine now, but they treated her like a disobedient teenager. They didn’t see her for what she was; a mom who wanted what she believed was best for her kids but they could not look past her age.
