[quote=Anonymous]I am amazed at the amount of judgement, mainly by other parents. I get if someone leaves a 2 year old alone, but after awhile it becomes a judgement call by the parent. I also think a lot of parents get thier jollies by judging others. One mom I know almost giggles with glee when she gets to judge me on something. I fully admit, I tend to egg her on. I might even start making things up just to see her reaction. I also think part of it is overprotective parents raise kids to be less independent and then they cannot fathom how anyone would leave such a dependent kid alone. They do not get that other kids the same age are independent. I admit I struggle with doing things to increase my sons independence, but I acknowledge that there are kids his age that are amazingly independent.[/quote]
