Alright, if you don't have kids, then you really have no room to insult people's parenting skills. Granted, if you see some creep swearing at their kids, then, yes, but, if it's something minor, then just keep it to yourself.
Story:
I was talking about our youngest son. He's a total pain to burp, plain and simple. We bought those liner bottles that collapse to keep air to a minimum, but, he still gets huge gas bubbles, and sometimes you have to burp him every 1/2 ounce, and it often takes an hour to burp him. I've gone from one feeding until the next just holding, rocking and rubbing his belly to try to work the burps out. Now, I didn't say all of this, I just made one statement: "he's a pain to burp" and some moron went off on a tangent. Just a random guy that I've never seen, never talked to, nothing. He was like "oh, you're a reeaaall great mother, talking about your son like that" I was like, "umm, excuse me?" then he goes on and on about how I'm a bad mother and I don't deserve the blessing of children, and how I don't have the patience to be a mother. I was like, "excuse me, how many children do you have?" his response, "none, but I know that you're one of those mothers that strangle and drown their babies". OMG, I had to walk away, you can't even understand how badly I just wanted to smack some fool for insinuating that I would ever hurt one of my children. It's like, when YOU sit up for four hours straight when you're tired, to hold and comfort a baby with a belly ache that you can't burp, THEN you can tell me all about patience. I mean, EVERYONE who watches him, or watches me feed him says the same thing, "wow, he's really hard to burp!" There have even been times that we played "pass the baby" because everyone was trying to burp him, without success, lol. Yes, it's frustrating, but if anyone tells you that babies/children aren't, then they've either never had a child, or they're lying. BUT, getting frustrated doesn't mean that you're some psycho who will actually get mad or hurt your child. Sleepless nights and frustration are just a fact of life, just as love, happiness and pride are. But, the guy actually said "you shouldn't ever say anything negative about your own children". Umm, first of all, I wasn't really saying anything negative, just saying that he's a pain to burp, I wasn't saying it in any awful tone or anything, just having casual conversation. My only assumption is that maybe he had a bad mother or something, but who knows, he could just be one of those folks that thinks he knows everything and sits on his high horse criticizing everyone else. /rant
