"Unseen Judgment: 43 Shocking Tales of Moms Facing Strangers' Wrath"

Child with panda backpack on a leash, wearing a red jacket and pink pants, walking on a paved sidewalk. For having my two year old son on a toddler leash (cute backpack that looks like a rocket).  He’s a fast little fellow who doesn’t understand not to run off or in front of cars, and I’m too pregnant to chase him.

Some guy came up to me at the grocery store and said, “You have him on a leash like a dog?!”

I just said, “Yup!” and kept walking. 

Not giving my time to such judgy jerks.

Woman contemplating in a park, related to stories about moms shamed by strangers. Existing without my daughter. I dropped her off at preschool and then took my dogs for a walk before logging into work, my b***h neighbor gave me a snide “oh where’s the baby? Must be *so nice* to have a break!”.

A thoughtful mom outdoors, sunlight highlighting her face, reflecting on experiences with strangers. That I whistled at her and she immediately returned to my side. Our boxer is trained to different whistles (and word/hand commands), we have land that we can hike with him being off leash. He never ventures far off, rarely out of eye sight, but does his last zoomies as we load up 4.5yo in the vehicle. She’s learned what the different whistles mean, and will also respond to them. Each of us have our own “name” whistle to call our attention before next whistle.

Apparently I’ve trained her like a dog if I use the freeze/stop/come here/eyes on me whistles without thinking while at the park or grocery store.

Nope. We just live out in the county and use whistles vs yelling as my voice gives out easily when my sinuses are pissed off.

According to Choosing Therapy, some of the main ways in which other people shame moms include criticizing their choice to stay at home and breastfeeding choices. Mom-shamers also often judge non-traditional parenting roles, other parents’ children’s development, sleep training, and kids’ activities.
