Watch the movie Away We Go http://attachmentmama.com/2009/10/when-does-ap-go-too-far-watch-the-movie-away-we-go/ Austin AP mama shares insights and information on breastfeeding, co-sleeping, empathetic parenting and self care Mon, 14 May 2012 19:04:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip http://attachmentmama.com/2009/10/when-does-ap-go-too-far-watch-the-movie-away-we-go/comment-page-1/#comment-302 Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:53:33 +0000 http://attachmentmama.com/?p=95#comment-302 I am so with you on this. Although I am a devoted co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, babywearing freaker myself, I try not to push my views on others because I think each woman's parenting journey is her own. I enjoy talking about parenting choices but would never want to judge what another parent is doing. There are benefits and drawbacks to all parenting theories. And theories and theories and this is real life. None of us live up to any parenting ideology fully. What a great post!! Thanks for sharing about this movie too. I had heard about it, but not seen it myself. I am so with you on this.

Even though the depiction of AP in this flick did sting a little, I was grateful for the reminder to actually BE the kind of parent that others would want to emulate! Beautiful site, Monica!

If the goal is proven to be that baby's demand and need to be close to their mother, can it not be done with a stroller? I am one of the few attachment parenting people I know that used a stroller from a to b. At the sea, on vacation, this one anti-stroller mom ended up expressing" you right the stroller can be helpful "( in this case she was referring to carrying lost of stuff around). Anyway, I've noticed it seems like so many moms are focusing on tools that have been stigmatized by some. And these tools become symbolic in a crusade to eradicate anti AP acts. Why not try to integrate some of these tools by using them differently; I believe it can be done sometimes; And the other advantage would be that the majority of classical parenting people wouldn't see us as anti everything.

Good to get another person's thoughts on the movie. I loved the ending too -- your description of it. So so true! Karen -
