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

I judge: parents who put their toddlers on leashes. Especially because I seem to see it most when their is a 1:1 (or better) kid to adult ratio. Like 1 toddler on an outing with mom, dad, able-bodied grandparents, and a few aunts and uncles--and NO ONE can hold the kid's hand? I wouldn't judge as much if it was a single mom with 5 year old, triplet two year olds, and a newborn.

You've never had a toddler who refused to hold your hand? Pulls away and runs off? Or flails to the ground in public if you attempt to restrain them? Lucky you. You should appreciate your easy peasy kids.

No, I parented my kids. You are bigger than a two year old. You pick them up and carry them. Falls to the ground and "flails?" Pick them up, put them in the car and go home. Unless you are just too lazy and self absorbed that your desire to go out is more important to you and you'd rather treat your child like a dog.

A child who flails and falls can end up with nursemaid's elbow, if you insist on always holding hand. A leash solves that problem. I also allow my children to eat out of dishes, just like our dog does. And they wear sweaters, like our dog. My children have beds, like our dog. Oh my goodness, you are completely correct. I am abusing my children by considering their health and safety and happiness ... like we do our dog's!

People probably judge me for curing in front of my teens and allowing them to curse in front of me. As long as you aren’t be unkind to anyone and know when it is ok to curse and when it isn’t I don’t care.

I judge people who fight for paid maternity leave but then judge moms who choose to stay home.

I also judge the leash people.

People judged me because my kid called me by my first name. Let's just say this was the least of my concerns and not a hill to die on.

I judge people who talk as if kids are not human beings, but in particular parents who quote that awful Bill cosby line "I brought you into this world, I can take you out"--yes, there really are people who say this, although your bubble may not include them.

My dad who was a long-term ER doc strongly favored leashes. He saw too many dead kids hit by cars and too many severely dislocated toddler arms. The leash parents are the good ones.

I had them for my kids, 16 and 18 years ago! We traveled a ton and they were not sit still kids. I am a trend setter!

Or you, your husband, your parents, your inlaws, and your 3-4 siblings are just too concerned with getting your "drink on" to parent your kid. All 12 of you too lazy to prevent your toddler from getting nurse maids elbow unless you strap him down. So sad.

DP. It must be awful for your kids to not have an adult they can trust in their lives.

We hyphenated DD’s last name with my name and DH’s name. It’s only three syllables hyphenated but we’ve definitely gotten little comments.


I judge anti-vaccinators and BabyWise parents BIG TIME.

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.

The natural weaning age is 2-4 years when children are allowed to self-wean. You just think it should be sooner because that's what American society thinks.

Parents judge because I don't throw my kids birthday parties. I love that their popular, and they get a classroom birthday. Get off my jock.

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 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.

Leashes don’t strap kids down.

Why are you setting up your child to be an obese adult in future? There are tons of information about healthy eating, yet parents are too pathetic and lazy to do anything.

I judge you for not being able to read the OP and follow simple directions. That's also probably why you don't understand complex topics like childhood obesity. (My kids are not overweight, but even a moron should know it's a lot more complicated than what you posted.)

Childhood obesity in America is not a “complex topic”. 99% of fat kids here eat junk food or overeat, or likely both.

Maybe hire a "lady who cooks" instead of giving junk to your children.
