I see the negative thoughts and words a reflection of insecurity: Well, I did this and if you choose that, you're saying my way was inferior. It takes a confident and insightful parent to look past these parenting differences and really see that families work in different ways.

Right on! We moms have so much more in common than just our kids. I've realized that my best friends may not parent my way, but our other commonalities keep us close.
