arg!

word to the wise:  ANGRY POST!

mom guilt is crippling sometimes.  any mom will tell you so.  every mom can understand what i am saying... so why are moms SO judgemental and mean to one another??  i don't get it.

i have chosen to get my son vaccinated.  i know the vaccination debate is one that can get people very fired up, generally i choose not to enter the discussion.  i feel like i have made the best decision that i can make for mason, using the information that i have found. 

i don't understand people that choose to not get their kids vaccinated.  but, generally, i don't judge them.  i like to assume that they are making the best decision that they can with the information that they have.

what i don't get is why the moms that don't vaccinate their kids judge me!?!  NOW i am going to judge.  i get that they think i am blindly following my doctors orders and that i am pumping my son full of random unnecessary additives.  i think that they choose to follow celebrities (who are always extremely well educated) and go along with the most sensational story of the year.  regarding the unneccessary additives... you want to know what is REALLY unnecessary???  POLIO.  THAT is unnecessary.  Or measles, also unneccessary.  you think your kid isn't going to get sick because they did not get a vaccine?  NEWS FLASH: IF your kid doesn't get sick it is because of the herd immunity of all the other children with their vaccinations.  you're welcome nut job.

you don't want my kid around because the vaccine is seeping out his pores?!!?  keep your dirty kid away from mine please, mine may be covered in vaccination slime, but yours is just covered in disease.

p.s.  that lunch of chicken nuggets and juice you just fed your kid?  probably far worse for him or her than any vaccine.  read a book.

ugh.  i probably just made some enemies, and who knows maybe i will take this post down....  the truth is, i really don't have a problem with moms who educate themselves and make a decision that they feel is best for their child.  even if it is not a decision i would make.  what i have a problem with is when people turn around and judge me for doing the same thing.  i don't make decision regarding mason lightly.  do not assume that because you have made a decision different from mine that you are a better parent.  you are just different.
