Hellobee Boards

@Anagram: same! Before I knew anything I would only judge if it was like, someone smoking and holding their baby... or if their baby was.. not cute Now that I've done all this research, oh my goodness.. I'm a judgey-pants 0_o

@oliviaoblivia: L is the cutest!! my L has a crush on her i think Actually, she is not just cute, she is really pretty.

and yes i am guilty of judging some things. I think i judge more things since being on HB so much so i do try to remind myself that that person is probably not on HB. Heck, i judge people with baby bjorn carriers, even though i proudly used one for the first 5 months!

i have silently judged when i see a pacifier at like one week old. But i guess it's possible they are not BFing. It just stuck in my head from my prenatal/BF class not to give one for the first six weeks.

@oliviaoblivia: um. I can't believe you'd even consider thinking she isn't the most adorable baby EVER. Even my hubs wants to snuggle her

DH tells me it's my fault Js ears are so bad bc I'd say 'that baby has a weird hair line' or something like that (ALWAYS in private) but I'm so much more sensitive now...

@Bao: I'm judgy about carseat pictures too! DHs cousin coward faced her LO at 6 months (if not younger) and someone I know just put a video up of her LO in the car and the chest clip was all the way at the bottom!

@PurpleUnicorn: our ped okayed the paci at one week bc we had such an easy time breast feeding. She only used it in the car, but im sure we have a photo or 2 of it.

I'm pretty good about not judging based on photos.. But I am guilty of cringing at "my baby is sooo beautiful" pics.. I'm a bad person.

@googly-eyes: I was all judgey and horrified by bumpers and anyone who used them....Until my daughter got moving and battered herself every night & day on the crib rails (waking up screaming bloody murder), and also thinks it's a fun game to see how many limbs she can hang out the crib and how far out she can get them. Then her chub legs get stuck and she cries. All are a major sleep disruption! I bought the mesh breathable bumper and that was a joke (then it was a game to kick through it or knock it down bc so thin) so I returned it. Also bought something called Cozy Wedge- another fail that got returned. I think that she is big enough & mobile enough now that she would just move herself out of the way if she ever scooted into the bumper and had a hard time getting air. Sometimes she sleeps facedown & that used to freakme out but she does her thingand is always fine, so at this point I am more concerned with wakeups, head donks, and broken limbs, so I am purchasing a real-deal bumper too! I know people will judge me too if their LO does not pull all of the crib slat/rail shenanigans that mine does, but I have tried to find an alternative and there just isnt one...So we can be "bad moms" together, lol:).

I feel like I'm probably a mom that would have silent judgement against me? I wonder if people think it's annoying all of the K pics I post (most don't get posted on FB, more on IG). I wonder if she's really as cute as we think she is too. I mean every parent thinks their LO is so cute! I think if you saw a crib pic in the daytime I must get mentally criticized by others then a lot bc we have a couple stuffed animals and maybe a lovey in there. But I look at the monitor incessantly and we have an Angel Care and she doesn't move or roll yet.
Idk if I have any car seat pics that she looks improperly buckled... Probably someone would think so.

I don't really judge others at all. I know a lot of pics are propped or just for fun.
@PurpleUnicorn: I do feel a little judgemental about the outward baby Bjorne but I try not to let myself say anything.

@oliviaoblivia: come now! L is stunningly beautiful!

Before DD arrived or when she was still a newborn, I would be in shock with some pictures thinking how unsafe things are, how this-and-that book and experts say to do something else, or avoid it etc. Now that DD is almost 1, I mentally learned my lesson (I never actually said anything to anyone).

You will break at least one rule you swore you would not do.

I try not to judge because you never know the full story. But I feel like I could be one of those moms that gets judged! We totally have a few small stuffed animals in DS's crib. And I whenever I post pics on IG I always get self conscious because I feel like he doesn't photograph well, like he is cuter in person (ugh, I'm annoyed at myself for saying that) and I don't want people to think I'm phishing for compliments when I post pics of him. We think he is a gorgeous baby but don't expect anyone else to, lol.

LOL! I'm with you on that but really can't help but to think about how dangerous it is and then I move on. Another thing that's disturbing is where some seat belt clips are. Some of the straps are even too loose... I always get on my husband's case on this...b/c he's a huge offender of where the clips should go. But I really shouldn't judge b/c I'm sure I do things the wrong way myself. I guess we're just more concerned than anything, right?

To each their own, parenting is hard, I just try not to be critical of others. Everyone has moments that humble them, nobody is perfect.

@oliviaoblivia: she is beautiful, I always look forward to your IG photos... especially with your pup, they are so cute together.

@shopaholic: I really like K's photos too! Your sense of style is awesome

I really enjoy IG much more now that I have so many HB'ers in my feed!

@petunia354: this thread has made me realize the things I'm probably being judged for. What. Ev.

Now I'm a little self conscious... I'm pretty sure I've probably posted photos on FB & IG that have been judged. Oh well.

Sometimes the perspective of carseat photos make it look like they are front facing but they aren't. I saw FB pics that convinced me a 6 month old was front facing and I was horrified but then I saw the baby in the car in person and it was rear facing. I know I take pictures of LO in the carseat in the house before we even go anywhere when she's not strapped in. Also all her crib pictures are with toys or loveys even though she's never once slept in her crib. Everything will be out of there once she does. I just try not to judge, but then again I don't have any friends feeding their infants candy or anything like that.
