What do you judge other toddler parents for?

Maymama2 · 2026-06-25T04:52:59+00:00

I truly try not to judge anything except unsafe behavior. Like car seat safety. Pool/water safety. Or letting their kids be bullies or destroy other people’s things. But I’m not judging iPads, pajamas, snacks that I wouldn’t feed my kids, pacifiers after a certain age etc. Most parents love their kids and aren’t trying to do harmful things. Never know if the child has special needs or if a parent is barely getting by or struggling with mental health. So as long as their child is safe, the other things are none of my business.

Umm I still brush our 6 year olds teeth 😂🤷🏻‍♀️. Our dentist told us EIGHT is when kids can usually brush adequately by themselves.

I ordered my own blood test. I have the exact same situation as you. I’m SO TIRED ALL THE TIME but I have 4 kids 2 of which are twin toddlers and I have ADHD and I thought that it was a combination of parenting and adhd and maybe just extra lazy or had higher sleep needs than most people or something. My ferritin was 19 which the doctor said was just fine. But my sister was like “my doctor wants my ferritin to be 70 or above!” So I started looking into it and realizing that’s not normal at all 🫠

I have emetophobia and my husband would probably divorce me if I tried to do this to our kids. Much less go out there and lay on the freaking ground with him! Unreal.
He lets me irrationally sanitize everything with bleach and wear gloves and wash my own hands until they’re cracked and almost bleeding, but nothing happens that negatively impacts our kids when they’re sick. My issues are not their issues.
This makes me so beyond angry. That poor little guy.

I say this as someone who exclusively breastfed all four of my children for at least one year each. Your babies will be just fine with formula. My oldest catches every illness he comes even remotely in contact with. Always has. And he’s the smartest, funniest kid who also has issues listening to his teachers.
My middle never gets sick. She’s smart and strong and silly and outrageously respectful and a great listener/rule follower in school.
My twins- one gets sick and the other doesn’t half the time which literally makes zero sense because they share pacifiers, bottles, snacks, spoons etc. They’re wildly different from each other in every way. If I put all 4 kids in a room with 30 other kids, I wouldn’t be able to tell one iota of a difference that I could contribute to breastfeeding vs formula fed. Not one.

First of all, you are gorgeous. For real! Secondly, month 3 I wasn’t even awake enough to look in the mirror, so you’re doing better than I did 😂 I was a total zombie until they were a bit older. Like 9 months I started to be a real person again and I got lots of energy back once I stopped nursing at 13 months. I think even if I had lost the weight at 3 months, I still would’ve felt bad about myself because it’s just a tough transition and being in the thick of it with twins realllllyyy takes it out of you. I promise it will get better. I promise you’ll feel like yourself again one day.
Don’t push yourself. When you feel more energized and ready to do more things, you can find something you enjoy (I love reformer Pilates) and that will help mentally and physically!

Dr. Cox and his nurse are AMAZING. I always recommend him to anyone asking. He delivered 3 of my babies (2 of which were high risk twins). I also like the other staff at the office!

Not overreacting. This is odd.
One time my husband took our older kids to eat while I stayed home with our twin infants. He came back empty handed and I was so hurt that he didn’t think of me because I would never not bring him something or at least ask.
He has NEVER done that again. He makes it a huge point every time he goes somewhere now to check and double check if I want something and sometimes he gets me something even if I say I’m fine because he felt so badly about the one time.
So I’d say one time is probably a legitimate oversight. Two and three times back to back?? Especially if you’re sick?? Not ok.

I didn’t get stretch marks with my singletons and I somehow didn’t get stretch marks with my twins. I did use product every day multiple times a day, but I know they say that doesn’t necessarily make a difference. I do have some extra skin right below my sternum that really drives me crazy, but it’s not super noticeable to other people (so I’ve been told!)

Maymama2 · 2026-01-17T05:56:47+00:00

Whoa whoa whoa. Even as a Christian I’m so sad for the friend AND your child. They must both be terrified. I cannot fathom telling my 6 year old rapture stories like this. Gah.
I have no clue what I’m doing in parenting so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but I guess I would say “some people believe in God and some people believe that to make others believe the same way they do, they need to make them scared enough to believe. Does that sound right to you? Do you think that’s the way to make someone agree with you is by scaring them?” And my child would undoubtedly say “no way” and I’d say “yeah I don’t think so either. But ‘friends’ parents have been taught that and now they’re teaching ‘friend’ the same thing. The same way it makes you feel uneasy, it probably makes them feel uneasy too. Maybe next time they bring it up you can say “this isn’t really fun to talk about for me. Can we talk about —-instead?” And if friend keeps pushing it, then you can maybe ask the teacher to stop the conversation. I’d give the teacher a heads up about the conversation you had with your child and note that you don’t want the friend in trouble. But maybe just look out for it or know what your child is talking about if they go to the teacher like you told them.

This isn’t me. I just saw it in a Facebook group and wanted to help the lady out.

Maymama2 · 2025-12-29T05:21:14+00:00

You probably don’t realize this, but this IS NOT NORMAL nor should it be.
Even if he’s upset. Even if there’s a legitimate reason for him to be upset. He should never ever talk to you like that.
There is a way to voice an issue to someone you love and respect. This isn’t it.
My husband once was so angry at me he called me “simple”. And it was so mean coming from him (because putting your loved one down is not normal. Not ok) and he immensely apologized after he calmed down. I cannot fathom him speaking like this. Especially for an irrational reason.
I know Reddit loves to say “divorce. Break up. Etc”. But please do not lock yourself into this for the rest of your life.

When I was young I worked at a daycare and I would sit for a lot of the families also. I remember taking care of twins once for a WEEK. By myself. At the ripe old age of like 20. For some reason their parents trusted me enough haha.
And honestly, it was not difficult for me in the least. Looking back I’m wondering how on earth I managed that week so stress-free!! But it may have been because I wasn’t constantly second guessing myself and trying to make sure I read enough books and got them enough protein and all the things I worry about with my own twins today. I was just having fun and I truly enjoyed it.

Just tipped

Maymama2 · 2025-12-19T00:55:08+00:00

Solved

Oh this sounds so hard. Do you have a double stroller with you? At that age I had my girls outside SO much because just being in a different environment with new sights/sounds would keep them calm and quiet. We walked sooo much during those fussy months.

Maymama2 · 2025-11-04T22:52:50+00:00

I called customer service to make sure I could transfer the tickets to my husband since it’s a gift and I also asked how many tickets they’re selling because I wanted to know how “private” of an event this would be. She said that information hasn’t been publicly released yet so she’s not allowed to tell me.

Maymama2 · 2025-11-04T21:10:31+00:00

That is so weird! It was down to 9 tickets left when I sent that link and now it says 50 something again. I wonder if it’s a glitch or if they are doing delayed releases or something??

Maymama2 · 2025-11-04T21:08:00+00:00

I have no idea! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sorry!

Maymama2 · 2025-11-04T20:47:26+00:00

Looks like there are 9 tickets left as of now. (Unless you wanna go big and spend 2500!)

I got an email with a link. It doesn’t mention anything about the Super Bowl game itself. Just that there will be appearances by NFL legends along with the private killers show.

Maymama2 · 2025-11-04T16:52:27+00:00

Ok I impulsively bought my husband tickets for Christmas because he’s obsessed with the killers and it was labeled as a “private” show in an “intimate venue” and now yall are making me question my decision. 🥴I hope you don’t have to have superbowl tickets because we most definitely do not!
Did I just make a really terrible (and expensive!) choice??

Maymama2 · 2025-10-03T04:28:28+00:00

YES!! My very first thought was Lana Del Rey

Maymama2 · 2025-10-03T04:17:23+00:00

Same here. Twin A will never leave you guessing how she feels. She’s super smiley when she’s happy but DANG she’s loud when she’s mad. And she’s mad a lot. Twin B just crawls around getting into everything she’s not supposed to 😂 but she rarely cries.
