You're not a bad parent. You got some good advice above. I'll add by saying, you will always have tons of people forming their opinion about you and though I know its harder when your parenting skills are being questioned but you just have to be sincere and ask, do I love my baby and would I protect her, teach her, help her etc... all the time and to the best that you can?
If the answer is yes to all of these, then tell those gossiping big mouths to go stuff it. Believe me, I can guarantee that they as parents have made mistakes or were at a loss of what to do quite a few times in their lives with their children. How do I know, well... because parenting doesn't come with a manual, you have to wing till you get it right and just hope that your kid grows up more than alright.
Hugs hun, I don't know a mom, who's never been criticised.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
