No Apologies, Part II

Oh, why don't people understand me!

When I said "I don't care if people circumcise"... That doesn't mean that I think circumcision is a good thing. It doesn't mean that I agree with it. What it means is that I'm trying to release judgment about it (and about all things, really). It's not my job to judge others. This is all about recognizing that it's another person's journey, not mine... and being okay with that.

Yes, I would like to change your mind and educate you about a lot of things (if you're receptive to that), but other than that, what more can I do?

I'm not going to hate you or think that you're a bad person if you circumcise.

Please don't judge me because of that.

YOU NERDS LEAVE GOOFY MAMA ALONE. SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU DO, SO GO ON HOME TO YOUR MAMMIES, AND I SAID IT!

I'm with you on this. I don't have room in my life for passionately hating people or their choices. I let it go, because like you said, its not my journey. When the opportunity arises I will gladly encourage everyone I come across to do the things I feel are best for their children like NOT circing or extended breastfeeding on demand.

I just would so much rather place my energy and focus on the things that more directly matter to my life and the lives of my children <3

Allison, I think I am the only one who said something about it. And I certainly understand where you are coming from.

Yeah, your opinion means a lot to me, Sarah, and I didn't want you to think I was heartless.
