just a thought

I have a friend that lives in Italy, and I sent her the link to my journal. This was her reply (She said it was ok for me to post it):

I'm ok, I guess...
but reading your diary there's something that I don't
get it...maybe it must to be an american thing
(LOL!!!). why is so strange having your own baby food,
I mean, in a past email you wrote me that you choose
to be a breastfeeding mother...ok, great, I don't see
nothing wrong.
What I was thinking that maybe here in Italy we don't
have any alternative, what I'm trying to say is that
breastfeed for the mother is absolutely usual, as
staying home as much as you can w/your baby, and also
cloth diaper...
When I read your email I understood that you were
talking about something as a philosophy, but I
realized that is just normal, so I thought that maybe
in Usa people "still strange" finding always some
alternative strange ways to grow up a child...
boh! In Italy things are so different! strange b/c
movie and sitcom from Us used to talk about family,
what is good or wrong, I guess trying to make people
learn something, but they never talked about being a
mum or breastfeeding...
Ciao! As Cià!

 I just think its strange that AP parents have all at one point have been criticized for our AP style, yet in other countries, for example Italy, it is the norm. Wish it were different here :o/. Anyways, just thought I would share that with you.
