I'm just starting to see different parenting styles the last few weeks. Some things people are doing are crazy in my opinion. I think I'm a very laid back parent. I didn't obsess over how many ounces a day my child was eating. I feed him when he was hungry. He was pretty much on a schedule when he was little - every 3-4 hours. I didn't make my own baby food because I just didn't have time. Plus, I don't think baby food in the jars that is already prepared is bad. Lots of people feed it to their babies.
Maybe as more of my friends have babies I'm noticing more parenting styles.
Now some are obsessed with the plastic bottles and not containing some unsafe chemical. As you can see I don't really know what that's all about. I used Avent and I think they may be one of the brands that isn't totally safe. My opinion is if they were harmful, they wouldn't be for sale.
This afternoon I hung door hangers for church. My, my... I was dripping with sweat when I was done. Don't think I should have ventured out at 2 in the afternoon. Oh, well, it's over now.
Well, I'm off to try and watch a movie.

I don't always take notice of parenting styles, but I do notice when people comment on mine...like saying "are you really going to put him in timeout? Will he stay?" :) Somehow, despite the "style," certain parents annoy me and certain ones don't. That is, one parent may be very laid-back and touchy-feely (not my style) and I barely even notice, and another parent might be much more structured (more like my style) and drive me crazy. I think it's like personality. Either you like someone's personality or you don't.
