aibu to think that women with less children than me should wind their necks in...

[bentpenny]

Just a quick one but my youngest ds had the most almighty tantrum today on the school run and one mum actually stood watching and smirking like it was some kind of spectator sport. Another one of the school run charmers shook her head and tutted. It's amazing what bitches women can be when we all know how hard it can be.

Another woman today gave me a long lecture with top tips and advice about how to pooty train my youngest. She has 1 child.

Ok, thats it -rant over. But do you ever get the feeling that some women think that anything more than 2 dc's with 5 years apart and a nanny is frankly a despicable thing to do.

My two year old had a tantrum in Sainsburys, witnesed by my Psychotic auntie. She smirked and made a judgemental comment, and it wasn't until afterwards I thought I should have said "at least he won't still be making a public show of himself when he's 50" which is what SHE does still.
For all those people out there I find two phrases very useful "walk a mile in my/his/her/their shoes before you judge" and my personal favourite "Wind your (the addition of "fuckin" is optional here) neck in"

Just thought I would check in with you guys. I am feeling much better today. Thanks for the grammar tips and I would just like to say that having fewer children does not make you a less capable mother. My point was that it is a different style of parenting. I would never offer pearls of parenting wisdom unless I was asked for advice. I think we all struggle at times and wouldn't it be great to support one another whenever possible. Anyway, on the whole you have supported me. Thanks.
