As a mom, I find myself picking up on what other parents do! I don’t mean to, and I’m sure they’re doing fantastic jobs, but do you ever see someone doing something to/with their child and you almost want to say “you’re doing it wrong” or “don’t do that” I can’t help it!!
I’m sure other moms do it to me! The other week I saw a man carrying a new born, whilst it was hot, in just a vest. All I thought was, does she have sun cream on? Where’s her clothes? Why isn’t she wearing a hat?!
I’m not a judgy person, but since becoming a mom I can’t help it! Everyone makes mistakes, but as parents I’m sure I’m not the only one who picks up on what others do!
Another thing is, when I look at parents and I sympathise, when someone is there with a crying baby and you can see the embarrassment and frustration on their face I almost feel like approaching them myself and reassuring them they’re doing great…not that my opinion matters!
But we’ve all been there, when there’s a public meltdown, and that’s only the infant stage! I cannot wait for the toddler meltdowns, terrible two’s as they say!
