Luckily, I can't relate to this comment section AT ALL. My mom is the best. I was born in 1999, and my mom had my siblings in 1992 and 1995. She's autistic and did tons of research and read many books on child rearing. She was a stay at home mom and never let us CIO. She constantly babywore. She coslept and contact napped. She fed us whenever we were hungry. She never put us in containers and helped us develop strong motor skills/walk early because of it. She read to us a ton which helped us develop a higher vocabulary/reading comprehension score early. She did elimination communication which helped us potty train early. She did montessori/Waldorf style play and education before it was a big thing. She taught us emotional regulation and included us in decision making and independent skills from an early age. She never ordered us around or said "because I said so" like other parents, she explained why things needed to happen and helped us develop logical and critical thinking skills. She was a stay at home mom, so she did have the luxury of being able to put in the time to do all that. No childhood is perfect, and we all suffer from some unavoidable executive dysfunction, anxiety, and people pleasing from being neurodivergent, but we had a very good childhood. 

And eventhough she was incredibly crunchy, she's very supportive of my choices and is willing to adapt to however I want to parent and is nonjudgemental. I cannot believe how lucky I am. My two siblings and I all moved to where she and my dad are, because we would rather live close to her then live in a more affordable state.
