What do you silently judge people for?

I would say
Talking on public transport , wish they would be quiet.

@Straighttalking1

Not breastfeeding and then seek sympathy when DC gets sick. Duh

Now this is a bat shit crazy one 😜

Wtf?

@mumnowformerrockstar speak for yourself. Dh and I are craving London so much. We miss it dreadfully.

In all honesty they are not missing much. We left london years ago and have never looked back.

I get you can prefer to live somewhere else, but there are so many things to do in London, I do judge people who dismiss so much possibilities even if it's just for a weekend away.

I only really judge people who are doing something obviously wrong such as abuse/crime/violence etc. I can't get worked up about most things on this thread but it's interesting to see the things people judge on.

I used to live in London and enjoyed it. Also lived in 3 other European capital cities, all of which I preferred to living in London. I still visit London a lot, as I have friends there.
However... from many places in the UK, train fares to London are extortionate. Accommodation is expensive. Not everyone has disposable funds to just ‘visit for a weekend’.
And there is lots to do in many other cities in the UK too.

Actually the above isn’t quite true. I preferred living in two of the other European capital cities to living in London. The third (Milan) I wasn’t too enamoured with.

still a big step to announce that you won't be missing much if you never visit London

Do you live in London by any chance? In my experience people who live there think there is no more interesting place in the world (and I have lived there) whereas people who don’t know that there are many other places that they would prefer to prioritise visiting. Obviously the pp saying above that people ‘aren’t missing much’ lived there and disliked it. I don’t know anyone who has completely ruled out visiting London, but I do know many who have it lower down on their priority list than lots of other places.

@Straighttalking1 are mothers who breastfeed allowed to sympathy seek when their DC get sick then? Like in my case

I feel the opposite! Ive spent time in a few euro capitals and London was by far the best.
The Euro ones were highly overrated - they just dont compare to the sheer amount of things there are to do in London.
NYC was also a let down- it was 1000 times more polluted than London- had the same things to do as london but less historical interest

I breastfed 2, mix fed my third and switched to formula at 3 months. Would I get more sympathy if my first two were ill than my third?
My first, who I BF until 18 months, is by far my ‘sickliest’ child. Do I get sympathy for that as she was BF?

Interestingly, I only breastfed one of mine past the first week. He’s the sickly child of the 3. Had meningitis at 8 weeks old, an overnight stay at 4 days old, struggled to gain and maintain weight since birth, is poorly at least once a year involving a hospital admittance.

@AmoElCafe ridiculous isn’t it! I think the poster must’ve been drunk when she posted that stupid comment

It’s a good job we’re all different! Madrid was by far my favourite to live in, we stayed for 3 years. Followed by Stockholm (2 years). Also spent some time living in Paris but only 6 months so wasn’t really long enough to form an opinion on what it’s like to live there. I lived in London for 3 years too and enjoyed it, but not as much as Madrid and Stockholm. I was just pointing out that visiting London isn’t the be all and end all. If funds were limited, there would be plenty of other places I would prefer to visit.

Oh i get it!

I found stockholm as dull as watching paint dry!

As you say, it would be boring if we were all the same

Parents who pierce their babies' ears.

Not many things, but I always judge:

Smoking when pregnant
Smoking while pushing a pram
Smoking in a car with children
Smoking around children in general
Piercing babies' ears

Wow.. I've had such fun reading this thread, finding out how much I'm being silently judged 😁

I have lived in London, I am now more in the far suburbs. I am not saying it's my favourite city in the world, far from it, I do disagree completely about not being anything interesting in it.

I wasn't even born in the UK, England is nowhere near the top of my list of preferences, but "not missing much" about London? Nope. I judge someone with so little interest in life they can't find interest in a city.

I don’t think anyone said there was ‘nothing of interest’? One PP, who lived there and disliked it, said ‘you’re not missing much’... that is one person’s opinion and is obviously clouded by her personal experience.

The whole point of the conversation was that someone said they judged people who live in the U.K. who have never visited London. I was just saying that a) visiting London is expensive and b) people may have prioritised visiting other places. That is all.
I do know a few people who live in London and have never visited anywhere else in the U.K., bar maybe a couple of trips to the coast as kids. I find that bizarre, but each to their own!

I'm keeping quiet.

People who don't read. I will continue to smile and be pleasant, but they are dead to me from the moment they announce they don't read books.

Poor grammar, either written or spoken. It makes me wince inside.

May I ask why?
I'm wondering because I go through phases. Sometimes I read a lot and then I stop, or only read on holiday or whatever.

I don't require you to read every day. I was referring to those who wear it as a badge of pride that they never read, or at best read a twee, pastel popcorn book on holiday. It makes me despair and despise.

Within 30 mins of meeting my future MIL she mentioned she hadn't read a book since leaving school. I knew in that moment that we could only have the most perfunctory of relationships. That was 29 years ago and I was right
