Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public*Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. A public forum. Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:
23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.
Re: Drafting a letter to my MOPs group about Pearls
I know I am just glad that I found out about them about a year ago so I *knew* what it was when people started bringing it up. I have chimed in a few times and been ignored and just kinda dismissed as the weird one out (I am the only one who openly says I won't spank, I am the only one who openly admits I cosleep, Only one who cloth diapers)... they just kinda see me as not knowing what I'm talking about, kwim? I want to be able to show them that I am very well versed on the topic and why I am so concerned about it. If Scripture can't convince them, then that is on their hearts not mine, but I really hope it does help them to see what is going wrong in the picture.
