Take a stand!

Taking a stand for yourself is easier said than done. So many times life throws you into situations where you can't stand up for your opinions. It's like these opinions don't matter at all. It's high time I realized that I take matters into my own hands. My opinions are what I think about and what I strongly believe in. I might not be as experienced as you are but that doesn't make my decision any less important than yours. Parenting is one such place where you have to make sure that your opinions matter because it's your kid who is at stake here. Maybe by suppressing your opinion which might have come from the motherly gut feeling within you, you might put your own child on jeopardy. I'm not saying your opinions will always be right but then it has a touch of instinct to it which makes it almost right. Do your study on the topic beforehand, so that you don't seem less knowledgable about the topic. Being married, slight changes how our opinions are voiced. Here both partners have equal rights to their share of opinions. Finally the decisions won't be from one particular party, instead it would be the joint decision made from the opinions of both parties. Make your opinions matter, put across your validating points, argue for what you feel is right and finally in the end, make your opinions count. It's all within you and your tongue is your aid. Make use of it and win this battle for your baby. Atleast in the end you tried to make it happen. Do it a few times and it will soon become a habit. Take your stand and have no regrets.
