parenting methods

its always confuses me as to why people want to tell mums how to teach their child and how it should be raised.

im a firm believer in spanking isnt that what the bottom is made for.though i know some people thik spanking is what causes bad people.  i

hate walking through the shops and seeing mothers with rowdy children and they dont do anything to stop them and then someone comments on the lack of discipline the child has. some parents punish differently.

i mean i was raised with a firm spanking rule. if i played up i got a smack on the bottom it hurt for like 5 secs then it was over. i was never a trouble maker at school never got arrested for anything so if spanking causes bad people then i must be bad

the other day my son was crying ( he's teething at the moment) and i was trying to give him his dummy when a lady walking past stopped and told me he needs a firm voice to tell him to stop crying and dummys are for lazy parents. im sure there are plenty of parents who use dummies and are goin through the teething process.

i see alot of breast feeding mothers and the looks they are getting when they do it in public, its alright if they are covered up as it looks like your just holding your baby.

even my gran does it, i hold my son or dress him she says something but then i just remember she raised 5 kids her way.

but back to what i was saying. every parent raises their child differently to how them self was raised. so why do strangers insist on telling parents how to raise their child.  were they raised wrong or was it just they think they know how to raise childen better. 

i also found that childless friends try and tell how to raise the child or they compare friends babies/pregnancy with yours. 

do some people raise their child better then others or is it just how we think it should be.
