As mothers, on many occasions we have felt judged by the way we decided to raise or educate our children. Although made through irony, this video of 'mothers who judge themselves' is a clear reflection of today's society.

Criticism from some mothers to others, value judgments, opinions about parenting or about the decisions we make about our children and their education...

Throughout the video, many topics are mentioned that tend to be a source of controversy among families with children, caused mainly by the unequal thoughts that each one has when it comes to educating their children. But, does the appropriate and ideal way of raising children really exist? The reality is that tolerance and respect for the different ways of raising children is something fundamental, as long as they do not violate the basic rights of the child and promote love and affection towards the little ones.

We will analyze some of the most controversial topics that are mentioned during the video and the different positions that people usually take towards them. If we are clear about one thing, it is that, in terms of education, there is no absolute truth. The individual situation of each family, child, mother or father is unequal and changing in each case. Therefore, judging without knowledge of the facts is never a good option in these cases. Empathy and understanding must be what comes first between mothers.

Breastfeeding in public

To this day, breastfeeding a baby in public continues to be taboo for many. It is a topic that continually generates controversy and diversity of opinions. The main reason for this is that female breasts continue to be associated with sexuality, even when they serve as a source of food for a child.

Each person's duty is both to decide whether or not to breastfeed their baby in public and to respect the decision of mothers who do the opposite of what you believe is right.

This issue continues to be the order of the day, numerous news items appear daily in the media. From mothers who threaten others on social media for breastfeeding in public to strangers who approach women to ask them to cover up while breastfeeding their children. Many mothers also claim through social networks their right to be able to breastfeed in public... And in a very original way.

Breastfeeding is something completely natural and seeing breastfeeding a child as something obscene or in bad taste is a tremendous mistake.

co-sleeping

Making the decision whether or not to sleep with your baby in the same bed is also a matter of dispute.

''The constant threat of crushing your baby for no reason,'' comments one of the mothers who appear in the video.

It has been proven that practicing co-sleeping has multiple benefits. For example, promoting the emotional bond between parents and their children. However, it is true that certain guidelines must be followed for this practice to be as safe as possible for babies.

Despite this, like everything else, it is our decision as parents to determine whether or not to co-sleep with our child, the position we adopt being equally respectable.
