I'm judged for sending DS to daycare. For some reason, people assume that because I'm a WFHM I'd keep him with me during the day.

yes! I am actually WORKING people. No, my three kids screaming in the background is not cute on a conference call! .... ugh

Whaaat! That's crazy! Haha, I know! Poor ol' Gram-Gram. She isn't being mean about it...I blame her age.

@babychuu comments about a baby becoming gay is such a low ballzer. If someone told me that DD will become a lesbian because I carry her too much, I would 1) chew them out that their comment was dumb as hell and 2) let them know that DD's sexual orientation in the future is none of my business.

@babychuu it can be hard with grandparents! I loved my grandpa; he was so sweet, funny, and loving to all of us grandkids. BUT he had some quite offensive worldviews that I had a really hard time swallowing as I got older and understood more about what his comments meant and the reality of the world around me. I've struggled a bit with my image of him over the years but since he passed just choose to focus on the wonderful parts of his personality.

Yeah, I think that's really all you can do. When I was a teenager I would argue with her and Grandpa about things, but as I've gotten older I came to realize there was no point. She's still a wonderful Grandmother and is very loving to her family, she just has some strange ideas about how the world works.

BLW.  According to one person recently who really should know better I am going to give my kid diabetes by NOT giving her infant cereal

Insert that head nodding whatever gif here.

For not letting my in laws taker her for a ride in one those side by side ATV things, even though they promised to "hold onto her really tight" when she was 3 months old. Apparently I'm overprotective and "have a lot to learn about being a parent".

Oh and not letting FIL balance her standing up by holding her feet in one hand while standing on a cement patio. Another example of my overprotective parenting.

Unfortunately I am serious. We've made the decision that DD will not be spending any unsupervised time with them.

@wilburbud My sister has been judged for having my nephew at 19 too. Our grandpa was so upset about it that he called her a stupid idiot. It hurt to see people treat her the way they did. We were pregnant at the same time and friends would congratulate me and roll eyes at her. I wanted to rip their heads off. I am sorry you were judged for the same thing.

my dad says i have too many rules. "do you know how many kids i raised?!" uh yes, two 24+ years ago. things have changed.
they came to visit just last week, and im mean cause;
h couldnt feed my 6month old cookies, popsicles, water, cucumbers with salad dressing.
he wasnt allowed to drive my son around. he doesn't use a turn signal, and cuts people off.
when we told him we would not give our son whiskey for his teething. (he cut two more teeth this week)

Mine would be getting her ear priced. Who knew doing that would get me so many stares and comments! Oh poor baby....I say really she didn't cry and didn't even care after we walked out of the store.

After spending the week at home with my family I got flack for LO's early bedtime. She starts her bottle around 6:30-6:45 and is usually down for the night at 7:00-7:15. Apparently this was too early for some family members.
