…you become a parent?
FFS, I'm getting so bored of other parents making passive aggressive comments / remarks; 2 examples from this week:
• DD almost 2 eating a pizza slice with shock a jalapeño pepper on it at a party. Mum I don't know "oh god, take that off her, it's spicy"
• A good friend asking how I cope going to soft play with 2 under 2 (DS 4 months), "as in, how do you keep your eye on DD at all times & ensure she safe". Erm, I don't, she's a competent soft player thank you very much & if she's in my line of sight, that's enough for me.
Another one: being told under no uncertain circumstances DD (when around 1yo) could hold my car key because of the germs on them, being told I shouldn't be dressing my baby in this, that & the other because it's too hot/cold/windy & on it goes…
Basically, I'm fed up of everyone feeling like they have a right to an opinion on how you raise your DC; & to relay it in such a judgy manner. I then start to doubt my parenting skills, followed by slapping myself for doubting myself. I do think so many parents are too precious these days, maybe I am just a tad too liberal, I don't know. I realise I sound far too emotional & invested & probably just need to go to bed but by god, just let me parent how I feel is best
