to ask: what makes you want to hoist up your judgey pants?

[butterflyballs]

For me, it's the ignorance on vaccinations and the belief that measles is just a regular childhood disease. Makes me want to beat people with a large stick.

People that swear at their children, as in telling a 4 year old to "shut up, you fucking little shit".

I've heard worst than that as well.

People who allow their 5 year old boys to fight, snatch, shove etc and just roll their eyes 'boys will be boys' - no just bloody tell them its not acceptable!!! Disastrous playdate this afternoon......

People who are consistently late and use the excuse that there so busy. We're all busy and no, your time is not more important than mine.
Hair bands on girl babies with no hair.
Parents not parenting their dc and looking fondly on whilst their dc are annoying/getting in the way of other people.
Anti-vaccinators.
Not picking up dog poo.
Anti-smokers (not including when children are around, obviously).

They're not there.

Yes, the obese children does make me judge too.

I have a friend who has now adopted 2 DDs from China. My friend is obese. Her 11 YO DD is very rotund and it's sad to see that the 4YO DD is now becoming fat as well.
It can't be genetics as none are genetically related. It makes me sad to see the 11 YO puffed out after even the tiniest amount of exercise and the 4YO waddling around the place. I've not said anything though. But it's sad.

People who get too drunk and then start arguing aggressively and even fighting in front of their children, either with one another or with other people. I know one or two couples like this in our wider circle of friends - they are as nice as pie and really decent people when sober but something just happens when they've had too much to drink and they frequently end up having a public row. I can't shake the image of their poor mortified kids' faces upon having to witness this on a couple of occasions.

This was my aunt and uncle, always drank to much at social family gatherings and got way out of hand with the arguments, I saw him hitting her once and my other uncle stepping in, I was about 6 years old.

It made me scared to go to parties with adults drinking there and I used to tell my mum I was 'scared of drunk people'. I was a sensitive child!

I judge people who:

1 Glare at teenagers who have done nothing at all wrong, because they are young people

2 Quote from the Daily Mail as if what is presented is factual

3 Make jokes about individuals with special needs eg Harvey Price

Smoking around children.
People who leave their children in the car 'for a few minutes' to pop into a shop or somewhere. On a sunny day it can get very hot very quickly...
People letting their children be nasty to other children and not stepping in - then getting arsey when I have to.

Agree with 99.9% of posts!

I judge the parents of very obese children, and children with rotten teeth. Smoking around children.

Oh and swearing around children.

My top judge is for men (it's usually men) who abandon their children or pay little or no maintenance.

People who let their toddlers wander about with a dummy in their mouths.

People that think they have a right to judge others on the vaccinations they allow their children to have.

Almost entirely in agreement here. Not with the babies in earrings one though; in the ME it's culturally normal. My sister's were done at 4 days by the hospital unrequested

My mum went BATSHIT.

People who don't vaccinate (unless there's an actual medical reason).

People who smoke in cars with kids. I have horrible memories of being a kid, riding in the back of a VW with a smoker (not a family member, thank goodness).

People who don't make their kids use seatbelts, car seats, or bike helmets when necessary. I had childhood friends who were injured because they weren't wearing a seatbelt or a bike helmet when they should have been.

People who are habitually nasty to store clerks, receptionists, or waiters/waitresses. I can see having a bad day and just snapping. But if you do it all the time, you're just an asshole.

I don't judge people on how their toddlers are dressed. Toddlers can have different ideas about weather-appropriate dress than other people, and they can be quite forceful in expressing those opinions. It's HARD to put a jacket on someone who is screaming and flailing. If you're taking the toddler somewhere that he or she wants to go, you can tell them they have to wear a jacket to go, but that doesn't work if you're going somewhere that the toddler would rather not go.

Geeky - if anything, I judge parents who insist loudly on dressing their children 'appropriately' - and by that I mean too warmly.

At the moment, where I live, it's between 0-10 degrees. If we are at the park, my DCs will rip off their coats and snow pants and run around the place getting sweaty.
I kind of feel for all the little tots bundled up but getting all hot and bothered. Often their parents are wearing far less than they are.

I had a parent the other day make a snide remark about my own DCs clothing and how they should be in coats. Honestly, if my DS was cold, he'd put his coat on!

People who smoke around babies and children.

People who put babies in forward facing car seats way before they're big enough to be safe and treat it like some kind of milestone.

People who let their children be little thugs because it's easier than disciplining them.

I judge parents who give loads of junk to their very overweight children.

I know a family like this. A huge amount of their diet is junk.

The supposedly healthy dinners have no vegetables. The children might have plain pasta for dinner because they don't like anything with it. As soon as the children feel they have eaten enough they can gorge themselves on desert.

They have unlimited access to sweets, crisps and ice pops.

The children are obese and their teeth don't look too healthy. They sometimes complain of stomach problems.

The parents have enough money to provide a healthy diet.

So I do judge these people as incredibly stupid!

I really try not to be judgey these days but was recently gobsmacked by a man I walked passed carrying a baby in a sling while smoking a joint. The smoke was blowing all over the baby, and I just thought what a dick.

Dangerous parking on school run.
Dog poo leavers
Littering droppers

Spitting, revolting beyond belief.

Judgemental other parents, oh you work, oh your dc doesn't do this yet... Etc.

Mothers who think if you don't breast feed you don't give a shite about your child and clearly don't want the best for then.

People who block roundabouts, selfish

eyelashes on cars

Not really living up to your nn there Goady

People who let their children run up and down constantly in restaurants, when other people are trying to enjoy their meals.
