To be offended by certain 'gentle parenting' FB groups

[nothingtoseeheremoveon]

By the implication that I am somehow a less gentle parent because I use disposable nappies, FF rather than breast, and don't use a sling!
My twins seem to be thriving on it anyhow.

Why are you bothering to look at them?
There are a lot more offensive groups on FB. Hide them.

How the fuck do they expect you to use a sling with twins?

Admittedly I did use a sling with mine but only if I was just out with one (ds had lots of hospital appointments).

I do know someone who breast fed her twins but she had a shedload of family support.

And I did consider using terry nappies with my two but gave up very quickly as I didn't have a washing machine.

If they are being judgemental twats, just leave the group.

Think "offended" is a bit strong.

Just live abd let live, hey?

Why look at them if they offend you?

I didn't go looking for them. FB suggested them when I did a search for baby groups in my city

FB keeps giving me advice on beauty and surgery for the over 50s. And sites with expensive handbags. I hide the lot.

Find Sanctimommy's page. Be happier.

FB keeps showing me pages for lesbian holidays.

I'm not a lesbian and I've never been on holiday. It's like it's taunting me.

YABU. Their parenting choices or reasons for them don't make yours any less valid.

If you feel defensive it's coming from you.

Ahh, the possibilities YoutheCat. Perhaps they want you to broaden your experience, like me being told I could look 20 years younger.

There will always be something on the internet that will have a completely opposite view to yours, for every opinion you have and everything you do there is someone out there who will do the exact opposite.

Why get offended? Its only an opinion.

Just go and find a group that does share your views.

It's like it's saying 'look, see what you could have if you'd just change your sexuality'.

😃 you the cat.

op ignore them.

I don't know if FB have any parenting groups to suit my needs.

I might start one called "Meh - they're fine"

I'd join.

didn't we have a thread about this a couple of weeks ago?
As far as I can see most of them are just a thinly veiled excuse for a big smugfest for the organic vegetable classes.

I think saying I'm "offended" by them would be stretch though. Just think they're all a bit silly really....

Check out Sanctimommy. There's your antidote!

Thank goodness for technology I say - do the users of terry nappies also use reusable toilet roll for themselves?
Do they have neck/shoulder problems? - Not yet....

The use of the word 'gentle' is indeed [sceptical] and . Gluttons for punishment might be more apt.
