Dh met a new colleague at work the other day, he'd not met her before because she's been on maternity leave, her DC is 3 weeks younger than ours (so nearly one).
New colleague chatted with Dh about her baby, how strictly she keeps to a routine, how she had DC in their own room at 6 weeks etc etc. Dh is not desperately interested in other people children but smiled and nodded appropriately. New colleague then asked about our routine, Dh explained we co-sleep and that I am still Bf'ing.
New colleague seemed a bit horrified and started telling Dh about how we'll never get Ds into his own room now and what would we do when he was 5 and still in our bed? Dh told her he wasn't worried about it and was pretty sure that Ds wouldn't still be in with us when he's teenager . She also said she didn't know why anyone would want to Bf .
I don't think there's anything wrong with discussing the relative benefits of different styles of parenting but it feels like she was being rude and judgey.
So, aibu to think people should mind their own business?

AIBU?
to think if you're not asked for an opinion on someone's parenting you shouldn't give one.
