Y'know.... I don't, particularly. Im sure people IRL and on HB think I'm a bit crap, but it's not *being judged* if you're open and honest about your failings!

@catgirl: OMG that's the most insane story I've ever heard. I bet the emergency dispatchers eyes rolled to the back of his/her head.

Not that I'm aware of?! I don't speak to my family, and my in laws are awesome for the most part. If people in public are judging me, I'm not really paying attention. My BF did give me a hard time for having a coffee table with "sharp corners" with a child that will be walking soon. Lol she's more concerned for safty, not really judgy.

@catgirl: that is crazy! Rear facing is so much safer!

My mom kind of rolls her eyes at some of the things I do but I think she also understands that times have changed since I was a baby so she doesn't say anything.
DS is 4 and still throws temper tantrums once in awhile, the other weekend DH had to carry him out of Target screaming. I definitely felt all the eyes on us but I really don't care. He wasn't listening so we removed him from the situation.
-
@youboots: I completely agree. I think education is always a good thing but thank you for the reminder that DD does benefit from it even if I am choosing to stay home. It just will always hurt to hear it from close friends.

@wrkbrk: yeah, but it's NBD. We all open ourselves up for opinions.

Not really. I mean, I'm sure someone somewhere is judging me for something. I both co-sleep and let my kids CIO. I've both breastfed and formula fed. BLW and purées. I've been a SAHM and WOHM. Worn my babies and put them in strollers. And so on and so forth. It doesn't matter what choice I make, someone disagrees and judges me for it. I just do what I think the best is for my family. If I worried about what other people thought about my choices I'd be crazy, so I choose to ignore the noise...

I have a couple of friends who probably judge me for extended bf'ing my 18 month old and my tendency towards attachment / gentle parenting but I'm not terribly bothered and they'd never outwardly say anything about it so we're cool.
-
This one seems silly, but I feel judged for not wearing my baby, and instead using a stroller almost exclusively. In my church / group of friends, most of them baby wear. But my baby is pretty heavy and large at this point, and extremely squirmy. A stroller makes him and me happier. It's not that I don't care about my child and don't want to hold them all the time.
-
Honestly, not really, though I keep expecting to be based on threads like these. But, I have a pretty thick skin and my husband would tell you that I can be a little self absorbed, so I'm probably being judged all the time and just not noticing!
-
I have been, in particular about not breastfeeding and about being a SAHM. I am a WOHM now but I think that gets less judgment although I won't say none.
I honestly care very little now. I am more concerned about people judging the way j discipline, etc., but even with that I don't care all that much!

I feel judged for feeling I am never being judged.
