Something you do that other parents probably judge and something you judge about other parents

I judge other parents who give birthday *swag* bags to the kids. Dude, chill. There was a bouncy house at this thing, our kid doesn't need a swag bag.

I think you are just cheap or poor or lazy. You pick.

I judge parents of poorly behaved kids and disruptive students in the classroom.

We do big fun family things with our kids, they’re definitely celebrated. IDK, I hate the pressure people are under for an 8yo’s birthday. It feels like there is hype around certain kids parties versus others, and I’m not in the PTA and I don’t keep up with the politics of it as well.

And maybe we’ve talked before! The last birthday I took my son too, another Mom asked if he was having a party this upcoming December and I said no, she basically implied I was lazy AF. Are we on missed connections right now?!

Kind of ironic given that you have not followed the rules and are disrupting the thread.

Now speculate to us, what do others judge you for?

I’ll help you out, other parents judge you for being oblivious.

I am judged by the look on my face as I quickly excuse myself when caught in the presence of parents who are gossiping or are just arrogant.

I judge these same parents for kids who are just as arrogant and have no filter.

This is the look on my face

I judge people who don’t cook for their families.

Maybe if you spent less time breastfeeding your four year old you'd have time to cook!

^^SMH at this stupid statement.

We can afford to outsource certain menial chores, so that we can have more time with our children. Its a win-win. Some person makes some money taking over menial chores from me, and in return it buys me precious time so that I can happily nurse my baby. I am able to provide my baby with the benefits of breastmilk, spend time with him, bond with him and give him the feeling of security and being loved.

"The lady who cooks for us" is better than "the fake powder that I feed my baby".
And the "lady who cleans for us" is a far better use of our money than "the lady who raises our kid".

But YMMV.

Lady my household income was 1.2 million last year. I have weekly cleaning help but beyond that I like to actually cook for my children because it's a way to show your family you love and care about them. And how does this have anything to do with the very, very weird fact that you breastfeed your four year old? You have major psychological issues. And I say this as someone who EBF. For an appropriate amount of time.

The fake powder. Yikes.

Finish your bottle of wine and go to bed.

Oh I'm sure this mommy never ever drinks just in case their 11 year old might someday want an afternoon snack right from the source.

keeping my infant / toddler up until 11 pm, every day
rarely washing my hands
cursing around my kid from infancy onward
teaching kid about sexual predators in explicit terms, from an early age
not making kid eat vegetables, ever. Really. Ever.
not enforcing a bedtime for kid as of late tween years.

I judge other parents in my UMC zip for hiring awful, checked-out nannies who take care of the kids for 75 hours a week, including weekends when the parents are home, not working, and just don't feel like dealing with the kids they chose to produce.

Ah, okay-- got it. You're a SAH who thinks negatively about moms who work, automatically labeling them all as having nannies for (OMG) 75 hours per week! Thank goodness society has moms like you to make up for those awful moms who work. Ugh!

I judge parents for letting their dogs off leash in Rock Creek Park. Or anywhere else.

Woops, wrong thread!

I obviously get judged for a bad sense of humor.

Single mom here.

I judge married women who complain about their lazy husbands to me in one breath then praise them in the next, and then tell me things like, “You’ll find somebody.”

I’m not looking for another adult child.

I’m probably judged for being a single mom.

How did this become the “Let’s all flame n judge the BFing mom of an old kid” post?

I’m judging all of you.

I am judged pretty regularly for my kid’s misbehavior.

I judge anyone who creates a social media account for their child. If your kid isn’t old enough to do it themselves, then they aren’t old enough to have one. No eight year old needs to post regularly on instagram.

But, honestly think nursing an older child is a very specific form of sexual abuse and emotionally harmful to the child. Watching children old enough to be potty trained yell and scream at their mother to “take off your shirt” (yes, I’ve watched this happen) and the mother proceeds to nurse on demand, is painful to watch. Babies need moms and need breast milk, but if your kid can eat a sandwich, you are putting your boob in their mouth for YOU, or them.

Except that you don’t get to define what sexual abuse is. It’s not really a matter of opinion.

I don't judge the P(pp) for having an opinion. I think it must stem from some experience and shame from her past that has colored her opinion. I feel compassion for her, because it must not be easy being her.

This is such a snooty response. I agree with the first PP.

I used to let my kids walk to and from the bus stop by themselves.

I just parents for not letting their kids do this, and also for pushing them in a stroller until kindergarten.
