What do you the most judgemental about?

[Anonymous]

SAHs who assume all WOHs do so because they want to, not because they may need to - and that everything can be solved by making some "sacrifices" to we can all stay home with our kids. (I judge the SAHs with such opinions to be idiots.)

WOHs who bash SAHs as stupid or otherwise inferior because they've made the choice to stay home. (Again, I judge the WOHs with such opinions to be idiots.)

I am also judgmental about parents (SAH or WOH, doesn't matter!) who let their kids run wild without any effort to control the child. Not talking about autism, not special needs, etc. - but for example kids of a neighbor of mine, no developmental delays or anything, running around like pyschos while she ignores whatever mayhem they cause.

I am judgmental about parents who allow their NOT potty trained child to repeatedly have "accidents" in my home. Listen - if you're still working on potty training and having frequent accidents, please keep a Pull Up on your kid until you're 99% certain he won't pee on my floors. Again.

I'm with the OP -- I'm extremely judgmental about people who smoke around kids. And I don't see what's controversial about that. We've banned smoking in restaurants because of the harm from secondhand smoke, and kids are even more vulnerable. I wouldn't chase the person down and lecture them, but I might give them a disapproving look and make sure they saw it.

I don't understand the judgment about judgment. Some things are in a gray area, but there is such a thing as right and wrong. If someone is doing something I believe is wrong, I will judge them (most likely in my head or to a friend or DH and not to their face) and I do not apologize for it.

Overindulgent parents
Parents who push their kids into items that are developmentally inappropriate (e.g. electronics for toddlers)
People who watch a lot of TV
Moms who formula-feed without ever even trying breastfeeding

[Anonymous]

Parents who don't put their young kids in car seats (YOUNG kids, under 4)
Parents who don't pay any attention to their kids when out at playgrounds and assume other parents will be willing to help their child out (again, YOUNG kids, under 4)
Parents who take their kids to stores/restaurants and let them run wild, paying no attention to them

I agree with this. Plus anyone who bashes WOH moms who choose to work, even if they don't technically "need" to do so financially. Everyone gets to decide what's right for their family.

One more: people who get so caught up in all the technical rules of etiquette that they miss the true point of good manners: to be gracious and kind to other people, and to do what you can to help others feel comfortable and welcome.

Women who don't work, have live-in nannies, with children in school all day, and nothing to show for all their extra time, and that still manage to be bitchy and yell at their kids and husband. Sorry, was that too specific?

" Moms who formula-feed without ever even trying breastfeeding"

I judge moms like you. I judge you as being condescending, holier-than-thou, bitchy and judging others for what is ultimately one of the most personal decisions one can make.

Posts about judging others that have grammatically incorrect subject lines.

Judge not, lest ye....

OMG, this kind of response is just so obnoxious. Really. I mean for pete's sake -- this is a forum to voice opinions, among other things. If everyone on this board minded their own business the forum would be blank. And painfully boring. Oh man, this kind of response is so incredibly ANNOYING! And, honestly, who the f cares if there's a grammar mistake?! You must be a really petty and unfun person to respond like this.

So I guess that's what I get judgmental about...

I try not to judge parenting stuff but I am very guilty of judging parents who let their kids stay up too late and don't allow for the child to take regular naps. Honestly, no toddler should be running around at 9 or 10 pm. They should be in bed no later than 8. Children's brains are still developing and they need more sleep than we do! And they will be difficult because they are tired.

I also judge parents who let little little kids (under 2) watch TV. Not occasionally looking at the TV but an 18-month-old with a "favorite TV show."

Yes! And people who say expecially. And I expecially judge people who pronounce espresso "expresso."

People that don't tip well. This isn't just a pet peeve. I actually judge them. It influences my judgment of their integrity and values. I know it's a simple thing, but not being able to comprehend the concept of tipping (and I am only referring to waiters here) is a sign of shortsightedness and ignorance.
