[quote=Anonymous]People would judge me for: redshirting my summer birthday boys, not breastfeeding (my older boy was low birth weight and we just couldn’t “get it,” and with my younger boy we just went right to formula because it’s what I knew and worked for us), letting them have a lot of screen time even if it’s only on as background noise while they play elsewhere. I also narrate everything for my kids at the store and stuff, which there are many posts on here decrying that as “annoying” and “attention-seeking,” but you might not realize they are both speech-delayed and my older boy is also hard of hearing - so the more speech they can be exposed to the better.

I judge people for: the big stuff - not vaccinating, not doing safe sleep practices, etc. And substituting essential oils for medicine or cleaning supplies - your house is nasty and germ-filled, please use bleach and actual medicines.

Silly petty things that I don’t severely judge but I do side-eye a little bit: people who never let their kids wear character clothing or play with character toys (let them be kids, I promise a paw patrol shirt is super cool for 4 year olds!), people who overly-hover over kids older than toddler age at the playground who are playing appropriately, toddlers+ who are still nursing on demand, tugging at mom’s shirt in public, etc. [/quote]
