Greetings! Welcome to the Un-SanctiMommy. Let me start by introducing myself. I am a stay-at-home mom of two girls. No, I did not have natural childbirth. Yes, I had a c-section with my second delivery and I had an epidural with both. I breastfed, both of my girls, for less than 6 months and formula fed them the rest of the time. They both took pacifiers. My husband and I are both skeptics and are raising our children without religion. And believe it or not they are both extremely well adjusted.
Ok, its time to define the SanctiMommy, According to Meriam-Webster Online a sanctimommy is..."a mother who points out perceived faults in the parenting of others"

We have all met that mom who thinks that they know whats best not only for their child but every child they meet. They have a endless supply of knowledge. And they have read every book and know what is best for all.
I have met many sanctimommies over the last 8 years. They come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they just give you a look, with that look you can hear the "tsk, tsk, tsk". Sometimes they come out and tell you what you are doing wrong. A lot of the time, however, it is a back handed comment that hits you so hard. "Wow, your kids sure do like chocolate milk! Oh, I don't think my child even knows what a commercial is."
I welcome your comments and can't wait to hear your experiences with the sanctimommies in your life. Welcome to the Un-SanctiMommy.
