I’m guessing you meant that everyone saying they have not trash talked other people’s kids are lying. This says a lot about you.

I remember before I even had kids, a colleague of mine said something rude about a mutual friend’s parenting/kid. I thought it was out of line but didn’t say anything because I didn’t have kids and felt like “well maybe if I had kids I’d get it.”

Nope. Now that I have kids I’m MORE bothered, not less. Especially because I learned later that the child in question is ASD. I have nothing but empathy for both a child dealing with ASD and a parent working to guide that child. My own kid has early signs of ADHD. You know people are judging your kid, and also judging your parenting. But that doesn’t mean you have to participate.

I also think it’s extra bad that these people are gossiping about friends and friends’ kids. That makes it much worse IMO. I’d never make fun of a friend’s child or parenting. If I had negative opinions, I’d discuss it with my DH in private. But I would never make a joke like that to mutual friends. It’s immature and potentially quite cruel, if it ever got back to them.[/quote]

So way down in you dissertation you admitted that you talk about other’s kids. [/quote]

It’s always funny to me when people on here complain about having to read 3-4 paragraphs. “Your post took my 40-60 seconds to read” is not the sick burn you think it is.

Anyway, confiding in your spouse about a friend’s kid or parenting is not at all the same as trash talking your friends’ kids to other friends. If that distinction is hard for you, I guess not even a “dissertation” can help you.[/quote]

Only you can talk about other’s kids and you get to decide to whom. Got it. That’s for not posting another dissertation. By the way, if you’re so righteous as you hypocritically claim to be, why are attempting to “sick burn.”[/quote]

Your reading comprehension skills are poor.[/quote]
