Re: I judge people who _______.
let their kids run around and scream, play, make a mess/knock things over out in public.
and people who generally let their kids get away with murder.
oh, yeah. this one too

Let's try this again...
Frequently cuss around their kids .
OMG SP, your new siggy pic is killing me. Too cute!
lol, my parents do it too. I guess i don't so much as judge as just give major side eye to them. But whatever.
I truly judge people who get falling dpwn drunk around their kids and then the kid winds up taking care of the parent. that's really bad
I don't by any means allowe Em to watch TV regularly, but when she's up at 5:30am and I need to get ready for work and DH is out of town, putting her in front of Baby Einstein for 10 minutes is the only thing that will work. I always feel guilty but I figure it's better than letting her scream her head off in her crib!
*cough*yousuckatparentingneighbors*cough*
Oh, I totally agree with you there. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, but it just bothers me when little kids are just plopped in front of the TV for long periods of time and the parents use it as a babysitter. I guess I should have clarified. I don't think a little bit of Baby Einstein is the devil, but I think in general a lot of kids are watching way too much TV. Sorry if I came across really harsh.
Baby Einstein = 28 minutes of gauranteed, uninterrupted peace. If it makes me a bad mom to get that once or twice a week, well then I can live with being a bad mom.
Oh, I judge people who bring 4-year-olds to R-rated movies.
OMG! What is wrong with people?!?!
oh geez... sorry if i offneded you in anyway then. i just.. judge a lot of people actually. i could post quite a few more in this one
This!
And yes my daughter has a cell phone - and it has been necessary. I was a single mom for many and it is necessary for us to keep in touch when I am running late from work to get her from school, girl scouts, softball, etc...
We are the world's worst parent's then.
This. This, this this this THIS!
raise their children in a city, work all day, and don't hire a sitter.
We have so many kids whose parents are never around and they just run around the complex unsupervised. Young kids, too. I feel like I need to be responsible for them but I have no parental rights to tell them not to do things. I asked one once where his Mom was and he said she was at work. I asked who was watching him and he said his sister. I asked where she was and he shrugged and said "at a friends house, I think". This kid was FIVE! I really want to drop kick his Mom. I get having a younger sibling sitter if you live in the country and can't disappear on each other, but not in the middle of a city! There are so many creepy perverts here.
ETA: The church across the street has a free child care program for families in need. So this situation is just uncalled for, IMO.
Oh, and parents who over medicate their kids. I think it's damaging out children's long term health.
Smoke and drink when they're pregnant

Hold their baby while they're in the car..and there's not even a car seat in the car. <---I saw this today at work...
continue to lazily wander around the store while their child(ren) scream and cry. It's one thing to run in and out if you really need something, it's quite another to spend an hour or more browsing when your kid obviously has no business being out in public at that point in time (for whatever reason.) Pretending your kid doesn't exist does not make the shopping any more pleasant for the people around you who are very aware that your kids, do, in fact, exist - and are damn annoying.?
This also goes for movie theaters. If the kid cries, leave. I didn't pay $10 to hear your child screech. ?

This. (I actually made a judgy face at a mom that told me to put my son in bed and put a movie on) I just don't understand putting a tv in a toddlers bedroom.
SAHM to 4 kiddos... K (5/05), N (4/09), C (11/10) and Baby A 1/13/14
The pediatrician says it's fine after first shots. Frankly, it was perfect. She was 2 months, she didn't remember it for more than 10 minutes, and was too young to touch them and get them dirty. It MORE than prevented infection and now that she's older she can go months without earrings and still put them on for a special occasion. Judge away.
Fail to teach their children the importance of helmets (and seatbelts and sunscreen).
I HATE seeing small children especially without helmets, because that is when the hapbit is established and when the parents SHOULD be teacing that you NEVER get on a bike/skateboard/rollerblades without one.
