[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't judge those with help, but I do get annoyed when mothers with lots of outside help give advice, recommendations, or pass judgment on those of us who don't. [/quote]

Exactly!  I was livid when a mom from a family where a grandma watches the kids full time [b]told me that she could never leave her kids with a stranger.[/b]

I told her that I could never make my mom an unpaid slave and force her to forgo earning social security.  The stunned look was priceless to watch.[/quote]

Sorry you feel judged, but I actually agree with this sentiment. My mother (who took early retirement well before I had children) stayed with us during our first 6 months of nanny care until the nanny became like family and I trusted her completely. I would not have wanted to leave DB alone with a stranger. Daycare even worse option.[/quote]

It’s always amazing to me how people are willing to just demonstrate what awful parents they are on this site. Judgmental parents like you are terrible parents. [/quote]

I know you’d like to think that. In reality we are just happier parents because we are more confident with our decisions. They are largely unassailable.

Btw, I would never actually tell someone they were making the wrong decision. I just think it internally. I don’t care to make people feel bad. So you would never actually know I feel this way, unless you were my my mother/sister/close friend who already shares the same view.[/quote]
