I totally side eye Kreatyve names. Is that considered shaming nowadays? If so, i'm totally owning it.

@blackbird: lol same.

I don't know. I mean honestly the same things that bothered me before having a kid bother me now. I still don't get letting your kid scream in public while you ignore them (if you're trying to calm them, you're taking them out, or you're somewhere like a doctor's office or a grocery store and are clearly just trying to get your necessaries done and GTF out of dodge, excepted, of course). But I've survived baby days and now am firmly into toddler days and I don't think a restaurant is a place to have a show down with my child.

I could go on with other things I did/do still side-eye but that would probably be the opposite of the purpose of this post lol.

I didn't judge, per se, but there were a few things (like co-bedding) where I would say to myself "Whatever works for the, but *I* would never do that..." (cue co-bedding for 6 months...)

I do judge on names, and letting kids throw tantrums in public (within reason...I know there are exceptions, but if you're just letting your kid go wild and not pay any mind I definitely side-eye...)

Totally unrealistic article. Her bra and underwear match???

There are definitely a few things that while I wouldn't say I judged or shamed, I did question, but now I understand much better. Dh has been very vocal about not having big kids still in a stroller and I really hope karma doesn't come back and punish both of us for his comments though!

I definitely became a more sympathetic teacher after having my own child! Before I became a mother myself I was quite judge-y towards parents of my students for how they were or weren't doing things. But now, I understand that its hard! Sometimes my kid wants to wear the same dirty clothes to school two days in a row, sometimes she won't let me run a brush through her hair in the morning and sometimes we are legit too busy to fill out the home reading record - stuff happens and most of it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme

I don't consider myself particularly judgmental but I still judge some of this! Really weird names and way too old for a stroller kids (but one year olds definitely not!) of course with that one you could just have a tall for age child too.

I definitely understand that things don't go according to plan but at some point I admit to thinking, "get it together wo/man!"

@Foodnerd81: I definitely don't judge as much more now, taking all those things you mentioned into consideration. But, it is sort of hard to not side eye in a situation where I would literally be able to get on the train if it wasn't for a stroller. But those moments are far and few in between. I find though more often now I sympathize with people when they are trying to get on a train with a stroller and can't because it's too big and know it'll take them a long time before the train frees up enough to accommodate them.
