Some people disagreed with you, but some people also agreed with you, including myself. Not sure where you are based but in Ireland, it's the advice of the HSE (health service) to do exactly as you are doing. You stand by your decisions and have explained your reasons very well. Others will stand by their decisions and explain their side well and that's fine too. You hit the nail on the head, we are all just doing our best! There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to raising childrenWell I think I might take a step back from here. I don't judge anyone else's parenting, yet I look back on here to find lots of people effectively telling me I'm going to cause issues and disordered eating.
As someone who grew up with disordered eating and very strict parents I am conscious to introduce these things but me and my partner also made some decisions, my eldest obviously had no idea about this stuff until 2, my youngest might get it slightly earlier as obviously he'll see his sister having it.
I'm all for having a joke on here but I just feel a bit piled on and it's not fun. None of us know exactly how our parenting is going to work out, we're all just going our best.
