Family can be the worst people when it comes to being judgmental. I know I've done my fair share of judging, and I know I've been judged too. It's part of being human. However, I also know it's bad to be judgmental and there's many a time I say "I know I shouldn't judge but...." Is anyone else this way when it comes to family? I know that family cares and that is sometimes why family members judge so harshly. Have you ever been judged and knew it even if the person hadn't said anything to you? Or have you ever THOUGHT you'd been judged but weren't sure? Again remember this is about family, not friends.

This is a very good discussion baby and I am sure that different people have different opinions when it comes to being judgmental and people who are judgmental especially when it comes to family,and I am sure that everyone has at least one member of their family that likes to judge others,and sometimes it is hard to deal with judgmental people,and I know what you mean I know I have done my fair share of judging when it comes to my family and I know I have been judged and I agree it is wrong but it is part of being human,and I know there are times that I say I know I should not judge but.. especially when it comes to family and I know family cares and that is why they judge harshly sometimes,and I think there are times that I have been judged even though the person did not say anything and I am sure there are times when I have thought a family member has judged me and then it turned that I was wrong and that they had not judged me,I love you with all my heart and soul,have a great day,good luck with all your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Yeah family is the worst. The first to get on you and the last to forgive you. I think most all of us are judgemental. I wrote a nice piece on my website about this and I was the guilty party. I ended up being friends with the person I pre-judge.

I know exactly what you mean and I think that most family members are judgemental at some point or other. I'm guilty for being just that! I think we have these expectations of our family and when they don't carry out the plans as you had imagined them, you start judging them and thinking that they are in the wrong. We may do it because we care and we just want the best for our family but when it comes down to it the best way for our kids and any family members to be happy is first of all not care what others think and they should defiantly listen and take advice from family but when they are old enough to make their own mistakes, they should be allowed to just that with out being judged - after all we all learn the most from our mistakes.
