Yeah, I said that.

Its no secret I think disposable diapers and disposable diapering customs are gross.  So when I saw the petition to make pampers correct their pamphlet about diapering (pampers good, cloth gross), i also shared to fb, where i posted my opinion about it.   And I directed my comments towards the Pampers conpany

Well, what a fb backlash I got from some lol.  It seems some disposable diaper moms took it personally that I disapproved of Pampers making a diaper that lasts 12 hours (cuz that's nasty), or all their chemicals.   So let's get this straight.   Me criticizing Pampers is a mommy wars act?  But if a mom chooses disposable diapers cuz she thinks handling cloth is gross, that's not.  Kind of like if a mom raves about breastfeeding that's a mommy war, but if moms talk about how they could never bring themselves to nurse in public or "I can't believe she is STILL nursing, at that age"....that's not a mommy war?  

Let you in on a secret.  Mommy wars are an imagined construct created by commercial retailers to attack things they can't profit from, and moms have stupidly bought into it!  There has always been different parenting styles and choices.  There has always been moms insecure enough about their choices that they felt defensive.  Thay they now can demean another mom and accuse her of a so called mommy war simply because she is insecure in her choices and doesn't want to hear that there are better options, that's new, and ridiculous.  And yes BETTER choices cuz Breast is best. Science proven.  I could go on, but I'll leave it at that cuz I have a diaper to change.
