Just have to get this off my chest because my heart is a bit heavy today. We had a checkup for Adira (1) the other day and i just left feeling… off? Like the doctor is perfectly nice and competent, but I just dont feel like she gets us. Or our values. Michael and I are trying so hard to raise our girls with a strong foundation in faith and sometimes i feel like i cant bring that up in a medical setting without getting a weird look.
It’s just this nagging feeling you know? Like how do you find a professional who will respect your decisions even if they dont share your beliefs? Like when we talk about gentle discipline rooted in grace, or our choices about media, or even just the importance of prayer in our lives. I just want someone who sees the whole picture of our family, not just the medical chart.
Has anyone else felt this way? Or have you found a paediatrician who is a person of faith or at least is super respectful of it? Feeling a bit alone in this today. Would love any advice or just to know im not the only one. xx
