“Unseen Judgment: 43 Shocking Tales of Moms Facing Strangers’ Wrath”
My MIL was a single mom that raised two boys. When my husband and I signed our 2.5 year old (at the time) up for daycare after having had a nanny, my MIL asked if our daughter would be going to daycare a full day, 9am-5pm. And I said yeah that’s when we work. And she said, but that’s such a long day. Like ?! She was a single mom, I’m sure she had her kids in daycare for “such a long day” too?!
We went on a carnival cruise and took our 4 year old to Camp Ocean every single night so my husband and I could go to the casino or the shows. We told my SIL about it and she goes: “I don’t think I could ever do that… how do you trust them?”.
The nurse practioner at my old obgyn mom shamed me for co-sleeping with my son because a 6 month old should be sleeping all night and I needed to let him cry.
That boy didn’t sleep through the night till he was 2 years old. He was 1 year before we sleep-trained him. I had to co-sleep because he’s a side/belly sleeper and I was solo all night because my husband was at work at night. No one would have slept at night if he wasn’t on my chest. I’m a light sleeper, he was safe.
I lost all respect for that woman because I was a first time mom, trying to survive on 5 hours of broken sleep per night and sheer willpower.
