me : okay

I love how everyone thinks they know how to raise my son. I love how, I get criticized with my way of parenting. I love how everyone believes that they can undermine what I tell my son and tell him not to listen to his own mother.

I understand that people who have more than one child have more experience, but I don't raise my child the way you raise yours.

I raise my child with kindness and discipline. I talk in a calm soft manner to my child, and only raise my voice slightly when he gets in trouble.

I decide what is best for my child. I decide what he eats, what he watches, and what he listens to. 

I just need people to stop telling me that I am raising my son wrong. I need people to stop telling me to make my son stop playing with dolls, because "it'll turn him gay." I need everyone to stop telling my son he's a fag, because he likes pastel colors and not straight up manly colors. I need everyone to stop telling my son to follow gender roles.

I will raise my son, to be a strong man. I will raise him my way.
