You must have reviewed your surgeon friends' student loan balances, right, so you know they're debt free and raking in the cash? I'm a lawyer, and my student loan bills exceed my mortgage payment. My family thinks I'm rich because I get paid a lot. They forget that I incurred a lot of debt along the way to the degree that allows me to be well paid, and now I have to pay off that debt.

I judge the first poster above, for being such a moron. I would much rather have my daughter with other kids and a loving daycare environment (assuming you checked it out, had references, etc.) then some nanny who is going to watch univision all day. We have had both, and the at-home daycare has been great.

I judge when I see kids eating lunchables.

I judge when I see old toddlers, bordering 4/5 years old with pacifiers.

I judge people who complain they can't afford anything but buy bmw's and go on fancy vacations.

I judge men who have no time for their family but are always at some happy hour or sporting event.

I judge people who don't have time for their kids.

I judge people who don't keep their homes semi clean, not spotless, but not a dirty mess.

I judge people at the park who let their kids run around in short sleeves when the weather call for a sweater.

I judge people who ask questions on DCUM, when they should call a doctor. Not the "have you experienced this" stuff, but the "my kid has a red bottom and I can't get her the doctor for 7 days" stuff. Really? Come on.

I judge people who snark moms who decide to formula feed. It is their choice, not yours.

I judge my neighbors who put trash out in bags a day before trash pick up only to have the crows rip it open and drag it all over. WTF? Really? We are not *trashy* people! Put the trash in a can or take it out that morning!

I judge people who walk around with a baby and hot coffee. What if?

I judge people who allow their teens to run the house. A bad teenager who throws fits and talks back is just as bad as a tantrum-y toddler.

I judge people who claim to only *bathe* their child every 2-4 weeks. Gross.

I also judge the grammar police. It's a message board. We all make mistakes while typing.

I judge people who feed their kids lots of processed foods.

I judge people who have playrooms that rival Toys R Us.

I judge my ex who cannot afford $200 a month, yes only $200 in child support but has two new cars and four redskins season tickets.

I judge people who drive like nitwits whlie talking on the phone.

Smokers, I judge smokers. For the love of god QUIT, if not for your own health for your family!

Wow, I am a judgy mcjudgerstein!

You sound busy with your full time job.

Maybe they want their kids to learn how to interact with other kids.

It was fresh and organic and I knew what went into it and it was/is tasty. I tried some Earth's Best Organic on vacation once and he wouldn't take 2 bites.

Funny. I totally could -- and have -- eaten my baby's jarred food. The fruits and veggies are just that -- fruits and veggies. Who doesn't like a spoonful of pureed carrots or bananas or even green beens or peas? Yum!

My guess is that it's the meat jars that seem nasty to you. But homemade purees of chicken/carrots/pasta or beef/rice/squash would be gross, too. Pureed meats seem awful to adults because we're not used to eating meat that way. But I stand by my choice of jarred food. DD loves them.

Or even worse, they pay someone to carry the child and take the kiddo away to pretend they had it.
The kid is not yours anyway so why don't you raise a kid that is already out there waiting for help?
Yes, I judge people that are so selfish to the point they'll let a kiddo die just because they want to pretend they had their own child.

You are an ahole.

WTH? You chose to be with a partner of the same sex, OK it's your choice.
Now, you want to have children... and instead of adopting you get both pregnant or you pay a woman to get pregnant with both of your sperm?
Who are you kidding with such behavior?
If you really wanted to have children you should think twice before getting in such relationship.
If nature already said that being with a partner of the same sex means not generating offspring why would you fake it?
And kiddos out there are still waiting for a loving family.

So it's better for a gay person to be with someone of the opposite sex just so they can have children "naturally"? Rather than bring them into a loving relationship?

So gay and infertile couples and single people who wish to be parents are only allowed to adopt?

In keeping with the theme of the thread, I judge people who have children easily and therefore feel free to judge others' reproductive choices.

Very much so. I should be paid for this work.

So do I. And I judge those people mainly because although they are able to reproduce, they should never actually do so. Especially if they are going to pass such way of thinking to their children.

I judge people who have 5 year olds in stroller at the mall. If your kid's foot can touch the floor, they should NOT be in a stroller. Teach you kids some manners or don't take them to the mall.

I judge conservative people. I think most of them are @ssholes.

I judge people who cannot fathom that an older child in a stroller might have special needs (sometimes they aren't visible) and cannot walk around the mall.

I judge people who think that a child in a stroller is displaying bad manners.

I judge narrowmindedness.

or that do not realize that a stroller is a hard thing for a mom to give up -- I haven't used a stroller in years, but often miss the ability to hang my shopping bags or put my water bottle in it's holder as I shop.

I judge people who don't know what the f* I'm talking about and judge me anyway. The child I saw in the stroller did NOT have special needs (I saw him in and out of a stroller, talking to his mom and his sister - also in a stroller, but she was younger). The reason WHY he was in a stroller is clearly because his mother was tired of chasing him around and tired of dragging him when she wanted to walk faster, but he wanted to keep looking at something else. Being in the stroller doesn't display bad manners. Being in a stroller because you have bad manners, however, does.

I don't judge "liberal" people, because I find that there are very few of them to find - most self-proclaimed liberals are more narrow-minded than anyone.
