GIRL the way I stood up and threw my glasses and closed the book and said AMEN when you said “if it doesn’t work, it’s because you are doing it wrong” with the connection to the breastfeeding class and diet culture blaming the student instead of critiquing the method!!!!!! Conan’s “potty training” also took months. I, too, read the Oh, Crap book, but I listened to her the same way I listened to my high school American History Teacher (like, 40% of the time? I got a B).

I will read a statistic from a well regarded source and then will spiral when “mom4lyf” comments “actually this is wrong and how dare you.”
Great advice.
