What is the absolute ultimate thing you get judgy about?

[AtYourCervix]

Toddlers eating greggs?
Fat people eating macdonalds?
P&C parking?
Fat people eating?
Disabled loos?
Fat people?

My own personal judgement is reserved for those people who hold their knife like a pen.

I think some people are a bit faux judgy actually. Callani's post is typical - where people try and establish some sort of connection by setting themselves and the other person up as somehow better than/different to everyone else. It's a messed-up form of bonding I guess, and often well-intentioned even if misguided. Quite often I think people don't really give a damn about other people's eating habits/weight, etc.

It's not necessary to bond at other people's expense, but it is an easy way of doing it I guess.

People who post on here about stupid things eg. Must I go to work today, should I eat this for lunch etc. I just think why don't you use your brain, are you that stupid you can string a thought and decision on your own

bigdog888 - Jeremy Clarkson?????

Crawling is not important for brain development.

Wish it was..my DD crawled for a year.

I judge Jeremy Clarkson. He is deliberately offensive and I am sure that if I were to meet him IRL I'd think he was a complete fuckwit.

I also find him hilarious and Top Gear is my guilty secret.

I suppose inconsistency might be a reason to get judged.

Not crawling may be an indication of future dyspraxia or poor coordination.

I never crawled and extremely well coordinated (almost excessively so).

I thought it made connections between the different hemispheres of the brain?

I do know that not all children crawl but what annoyed me was that she seemed really proud of her Dd missing out this stage, as though she was really advanced for going straight to walking. And yet she also seemed to have discouraged crawling, by assisting the child physically to "walk" almost as an alternative.

She's actually spent a couple of months, holding the kid up and walking about with her. It must have been murder on her back and the poor thing had no independence.

I'm, not normally judgy but I surprised myself with a at that one

Bonsoir

What does being almost excessively co-ordinated entail?

There is a link between crawling and brain development/ coordination.

Not sure about saving animals instead of people. That doesn't sit right with me.

There's a woman at playgroup who gives her toddler the choice of going to snack time. AS in: "Are you hungry or would you like to carry on playing?" Snack time is there to teach Dc's the discipline of going to the same place, at the same time, to do the same thing as everyone else. It is not meant to be optional.

Really? I used to give my dc the choice about having snack time or not, as did many parents. Why would I make my child sit and eat a biscuit they don't want

LaQueen - I could argue strongly and quite logically that judging someone for the way they hold their cutlery is ridiculous because it is. As is judging someone for less-than-perfect grammar or clothing choices. Unless they are entering an etiquette competition, debating competition or running a clothing store I suppose.

And yet I know exactly where you are coming from.

In my defence, I recognise that I am human and therefore prone to snap judgements and I try not to let such instinctive judgements colour the way I view that person overall.

And many dyslexic children don't crawl (me) or only crawl a tiny bit (DD1)

No one really knows why, but it's suspected that it's something to do with left right coordination required.

Oddly DD1 cold climb before she could walk and carried on climbing absolutely everything until she was about 10 years old. Weirdest of all for someone who is dyslexic, slightly dispraxic when she runs and hopeless at catching a ball. She climbed beautifully, very skilfully and very carefully. Used to petrify other parents when this three year old was on top of the big kids climbing frame or at six she was higher up the tree than the Y6 boys would go!

Those ear-lobe extender things on men. Men who will look really stupid when the fad wanes and they've got enormous flappy holes which can't be covered up. Make me want to retch. Can we have a boak emoticon?

I can't judge when I see them Nom because I am too busy trying not to look. If i see one it makes my stomach feel funny.

I have told DD never to bring one home

A man wearing lobe thingys, that is.
