Do you judge other parents?

The only time I have ever gotten upset with any parent is when they are out in public and their child is yelling. Then the parent will only threaten the child "Be quiet or you're going to get it!" or they'll just ignore it or turn the other way while the child continues to wail and carry on. For the most part, when I see kids in Target bawling their heads off, it's because mommy and daddy won't buy them a toy or a snack. It has nothing to do with being developmentally challenged. Those kids are the ones that are red-faced and out of breath from wailing for an hour over not getting a doll or a new toy. I have no sympathies towards those parents. When I was younger, if my brothers or I tried that, we got popped on the butt in the middle of the store for all to see. Now a days, if you tried that, you'd likely go to jail for abuse. No wonder we are rasing such sissies when it comes to our children.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to raise a child with special needs. Lord knows I don't think I would be strong enough to do it. With that said, I am one that judges when I see a child out in public acting crazy. I always think, "If that were my child..." I guess I will think twice now when I see something like that. Thanks for the wake up call!

I am no parent. but at times seeing other people of my gae, i try to think how they are brought up compared to mine by my parents. in case of my siblings, tehy are lazy and do not do any household work.

haha, i am not children's parent.....

i try not to judge anyone for anything. things are not always what they appear to be. i have my own parenting style and i do things a certain way. it is based on how i was raised and not wanting to parent the way my mom did. she was way too strict and mean at times, yet a good mother. i was afraid of her and resentful though and i do not want my child to feel that way about me so i am firm but lenient and very loving. some may see that as being to easy on my son but i am not interested in their opinion and it works for me and my son and we have a very close and loving relationship. the only thing i have a problem with when it comes to "parents" is when they neglect their children or abuse them in any way. then it is pretty hard not to judge.

hard to say, i am afraid so, maybe

Well I think that judging is something which is a natural instinct. I can't control my brain and say "hey don't think". But when children scream or do whatever they do, i don't care much. On the other hand, there are some cases where i judge. The first one is when i know the child is normal and the parents are teaching their seven years old how to hunt in wild. This sounds crazy but it happens. So it this situation, it's hard to not judge and think about this. I know some kids in my family are just spoiled and their parents are careless. Like children talking back to their parents or when they would do obscene things, those are just unbearable and I think they need some discipline. But what is important is that you know what is righteous. If it happens that people judge , they should be just ignored. They can't poke on their nose in people's business and tell how to raise a child. What is important is that the parents would support their child especially in this society when people give etiquettes.

I don't think there are really experts in parenting.Because we only learn from our own mistakes.And yes there is no two people are alike.Each of us is different.We cannot blame other parents for their children's wrong doings.No parents will teach their children the wrong thing.And I also admire those parents who gives hands on care to special children.

im the same i have a big problem with people like this.i have a child like you are describing and i dont know how many times i have had to bite my tounge when people stare or comment at what she is doing or saying.i know people dont really know what is happening but that makes it all the worse.if you dont know shut up!!!!!!! its bad enough for parents to deal with children like this at times let alown narrow minded people that think they know it all.the worst one i had was when we were at a fun park and my daughter had a seizure some stupid cow shook her head and said i shouldnt bring her to a place like this.i could have slapped her

all parents like and love their children.but parents shoyld knows how to control their children's emotions.it shold be in a lovable and proper way.affordable things we can buy for our children.otherwise we must make understand our children in a proper way.
