The same woman who told me that 'ultrasounds are painful and dangerous for your baby and show that you dont trust your unborn child' has just come out with another cracker today
basically Liam is at a wedding with Jasper (my 1 year old) so i decided it would be the very best idea to empty half our bedroom, shake n vac the floor (which smells a bit and is really getting to me) and then do the other half the floor at the same time as packing everything away, throwing stuff away we dont need/want for the new place and generally having a sort out of the bedroom (which is really hard to do when you have a 1 year old running about)
so i posted a status this morning saying all the things i wanted to be getting on with and what does she come out with;
'Shake n vac? What are you stuck in the past woman, this is just more unneccessary dangerous crap for your unborn child'
FFS!
Firstly, i dont see her offering to come round and scrub my carpets with lemon juice or whatever she thinks would be 'suitable' for me to use in my delicate state
secondly, i am a pretty crunchy mama, i dont use any nappies other than my reusables and 1 disposible (eco at that) at night
I dont use anything but ecover washing powder, dishwashing liquid and i use ecover on most of the sides too except when we have had chicken or they havent been got round to being cleaned for a while and then i blitz them with anti-bacterial whats-it
i bleach the loo once a month and the rest of the time just use vinegar in it
So actually, who the HELL does she think she is telling me i am a bad mother or whatever for using a bit of shake n vac rather than scrubbing a carpet i am only going to have to deal with for another few weeks maximum??
I dont get it at all, i have friends who use uber strength washing powders, dishwashing stuff etc and it doesnt cross my mind to be so emotive and full on with them about it. If they ask me what i do or why i do it i will tell them but actually its not my job to be anyone else's mind for them. If they want to do something, carry on. It certainly doesnt make them bad people OR bad parents
I am just so peeved about it. It seems whatever you do, you can never get it right and it does my nut in!
