Mayim Bialik, the star of the hit comedy show "The Big Bang Theory", has always been public about her attachment parenting choices - which include breastfeeding until four years old, carrying her babies in slings instead of strollers and sharing the same bed with them - but now Bialik said she is just tired of arguing about her choices to strangers.
In a recent interview with Yahoo! OMG, Mayim Bialik,37, said she does not regret her decisions and is glad she has been so open about them. Bialik has been so transparent about it all that she blogs at a popular Jewish parenting website, Kveller, has appeared on talk shows to defend the parenting method, and has even written a book detailing her attachment parenting journey thus far.
"If I'm talking to girlfriends, if I'm talking to random people, and we're talking about parenting, I tell them what works for me and why. But a lot of people want to ask me things so that they can fight with me," Mayim Bialik said.
"And just because I'm a public person, who happened to have breastfed and slept with her kids, that doesn't mean that I want to fight with you on the street or in the supermarket. So, I think you have to be really careful to understand why people want to know what they want to know," she added.
Bialik, who starred in "Blossom" when she was younger, holds a PhD in neuroscience. She married Michael Stone in 2003 and have two sons together. The couple later divorced in May this year after 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Mayim explained, "That's kind of something I've chosen to do publicly, but otherwise I'm just one more mom, who's divorced. I don't have all the answers. I go to other women to find what worked for them."
