Been there, did it better

Maybe it is the same with stay at home moms, but I definitely feel judged by my female colleagues at work. I am forever being teased about something or other (yesterday it was that I'm uninteresting, and that the baby is a terrible sleeper. Yeah, no shit). I usually just agree, because mainly they are right. These are women who are kind and compassionate but I think they remember doing a much better job at parenting then they perceive I'm doing.

Mainly I don't care, because this really isn't a competition. But on the days when I've not slept much, I don't want to hear about how my door has been closed an awful lot for pumping or that what I really need to do is x, y or z. Instead it would be really nice for them to acknowledge what a great job we are doing to raise a robust, sweet and happy baby -- or maybe just not say anything at all.
