S/O What do you judge others for?

I judge people for smoking around children, I judge parents in our play group who constantly feed their kids crap-bonus judging if the kid is fat.

Re: S/O What do you judge others for?
LOL I knew someone was going to judge the judgers.
I judge parents who don't change their children's diaper enough, for whatever reason though it's usually because of cost, and their children have diaper rash because of it.
I also judge parents who don't discipline their children, and then have a-holes for kids because of it.
Me with my littlest.
I judge people who are uptight. Sometimes it's ok to take the stick out of your as$ and relax.
I'm lame. That's all I've got.
And I've already admitted that I judge people who claim they don't judge. I think that even if they keep their judgements to themselves (which believe it or not, is usually me) they still judge.
I didn't say I don't judge. I said rarely. I do and then I find that I'm actually in a crappy mood. You admitted you were in a crappy mood, so clearly I'm not talking about you
I judge people who spend money they don't have, and seem to have no priorities beyond having the best and most expensive items. It's ridiculous. I have to budget to get what I want, and I'm glad I do. Well, glad that I stick to my budget - wish I was rich enough to not have one, LOL.
I judge people who think that BFing is the be all end all of parenting. Just because you do that does not mean you are supermom and it makes up for all the other *** that goes on with your parenting (I should say this is a RL judgment I make - I don't know anyone's situation on here enough to even say that).
As far as other parenting choices, I don't judge much because I really couldn't care less what people do with their own kids (obviously not talking about abusive things here). I might think it's the wrong approach and would do it differently, but I don't get all judgy about it because it doesn't affect me. I'm more judgy in real life than I am about what people post here. It's hard to know the entire situation and actually judge.
Ditto to these.

LOL-- I love this! ?It's PABST w/o the anonymity and/or cloak of civility
I judge people whose 1+ y/o uses a bottle?
Ditto this! I have a friend with NO kids who is constantly giving me parenting advice. Ummm.....STFU.
I judge parents who smoke in the house. It's so wrong and irresponsible. I wish they would quit altogether because it's still so unhealthy but I applaud smoking parents that have enough decency and interest in their children's health to smoke outside. Here's why:
My parents smoked all through my childhood and it always made me miserable in my own home/car. I have health issues because of it.
I judge pregnant women who smoke. JUST.STOP.DOING.IT. It's WRONG and unhealthy. I don't care if you smoked with your first kid and they were born at 10 lbs, 3 oz...there are much more considerable health risks to a fetus than low birth weight from smoking.
I judge my SIL for planning a pregnancy and sucking off the government for healthcare and WIC and my IL's to take care of her kid.
Pisses me off to no end.
I judge the fat parents of fat children. If the parents are thin then I assume there is something else going on. But I'm talking about the family with the heaped shopping cart full of utter crap.
I judge people who smack their kids. Have some compassion. And if you can't manage that - have some class.
I judge whoever left an empty carcus of chicken (in the package) in the cart area of BJ's today. Are you such a glutton that you had to eat a whole f**cking chicken before you even got in your car???
I judge people who let their children cry without comfort all night. Go get your effing kid. I don't care if you call it 'extinction CIO'. It's mean. Have a heart.
Bwahahahahahahaha
I love you!
Awesome!
?
You mean like purposely knowing that if you get pregnant you can have free healthcare! ?Sounds familiar around here! ?And, yep, I judge fully for that!?
I know that I use irregardless.
According to Merriam-Webster it's been used in speech since the early 20th century and is still not regularly used in prose. Since irregardless is still considered iffy, M-W recommends using regardless. Very interesting to know. I guess I should drop that word from my vocabulary. LOL
I judge the mom of the 4th grader at my school who is overweight because she sends him to school with two donuts for breakfast every morning. There are better breakfasts on the go.
I probably do a lot of judge-worthy things
I try to reword my disapproval by saying it's not something I'd do, as opposed to using the blanket-statement "I judge you for this".Maybe it's still being judgmental, but it helps me to remember that I am far from the perfect parent; there's always room for improvement.
Anyway, something I'm really strict about is an early bedtime for my children. I'd never let my children stay up later than 9:00 pm for special occasions and I certainly wouldn't ever allow them to have a bedtime past 8:00 on a regular basis. They need a lot of sleep, and if it means they wake up earlier than I, personally, would like to wake up--oh, well. Letting your kids stay up til 11:00 at night so they sleep in later the next day isn't something I'm OK with. Not only because it's too late for them, but I need adult-time at the end of the day!
I also won't allow my children out of the house in their pjs. If you step outside, you need to be in real clothing, even if it's sweat-pants and a t-shirt. If you stay in all day and want to wear your jammies? Sure! But, real clothing must be worn in public. And, they can't wear the same clothes two days in a row.
