So true

I recently found a quote in the book that I am reading that is so true. But first a little background as to what is happening in the story. A mother was trying to deal with her son in public while he was throwing a fit about getting some Cheetos. She tried to divert his attention else where, but when that didn't work she just gave them to him. She later heard other mother's criticizing her for giving in to his fit.

"Motherhood is the only job in the world where your every decision is questioned and doubted and criticized. No matter what you do, no matter what choice you make, someone somewhere is convinced that you are doing irreparable harm to your children. And she probably has a vocal, militant group of like-minded mommies on the Internet backing her up."

I like that quote. It's very true.

Why do we beat each other up like that? We all do it in some form or another and we know it is wrong...but we still do it...
