Caroline's rant The plastic has got my baby...

You want to know what pisses me off...well don't get me started... but today it is the toxic plastic debate. We are becoming generation guilt, guilt to go back to work or not to go back to work, guilt that our landfills are filling up, guilt we are feeding our children food that is grown using pesticides and crap I cannot pronounce just so the fruit looks pretty and blemish free, guilt over medications and vaccines, guilt that our children are in danger of becoming obese, guilt over which tv programs they should watch if any, which games they should play, guilt whether or not we correct them in their spelling, writing and reading, guilt whether we are putting them in any activities too many or too little, whether the kids have manners, are politically correct and have confidence to stand up without getting into a fight, guilt over whether we watch and know what our kids are doing or not doing enough, guilt over whether we are teaching our boys that it is okay to cry and our girls to be tough, guilt over breastfeeding, laying the baby on their stomach to sleep, letting them cry not letting them cry, sleeping with us or on their own and now I am F*#@ing killing him with the very vessel he gets most of his sustenance from. Living in rural Ontario I don't seem to be able to find any glass bottles so the search continues onto the internet as if I need something else to look up but if I don't there goes Mother of the year again and I had just regained the crown after the Grubby fiasco. Mamma and pappa asked what I wanted from Paris as they left today I told them glass baby bottles in the meantime I am going to ask the Mennonites outside of town if they have one I can have.
