ANNOYING

Yeh I got yelled at by a stranger once because my kid didn't have a hat on. But it wasn't needed and wcctually I had put a hat on and she took it off cos kids like to remove hats and socks sometimes. But strangers just like to comment they don't know the whole story

Depending on the age of your child, I'd recommend keeping an eye on that anger and maybe seeking out some additional help for your mental health. Holding on to that anger all day isn't what I would describe as normal. Your feelings are completely justified, I'd just worry if you're holding on to it all day

If babies are cold, they cry. I’ve had so many people tell me she’s cold when she’s perfectly comfortable ❤️

I think mums definitely usually know their kids needs best. And it’s not fair to tell a parent off, you never know the whole story…

@Koa Jay I am in general over sensitive person and as it is part of my personality I don’t think it’s a ME problem that people insist on giving their advice if not asked. My baby is only few weeks and I am also still struggling with hormones and calling me a bad mother along the lines, it’s not very helpful (talking about the situation I described, not you of course!)

I live in central Florida. The lowest it gets here is like 40s at night. (Mind you that’s like late at night.) One day I was out with my baby because my best friend was visiting. Had to pick up my boyfriend at his families house after, around 10ish. It wasn’t even below 70 degrees. His family was on me the entire time I was there about not having a hat on her. That I’m going to get her sick and none is taking care of a sick baby. I got so frustrated. So you are definitely not the only one.

Yes it’s annoying one time her gma said why I didn’t Have a hat on her in the apartment while they were giving a lot of heat it’s annoying

I 💯 understand this and get it too. It’s their projected sense of entitlement and fear. Sending solidarity x

It’s just an old person thing! My mum was the same when my boy was tiny, always putting an extra blsnket over him, insisting he needed a blanket on in summer when we went out etc. he ran hot anyway and she kept overheating him and I kept having to take it off. She just wouldn’t stop lol she seems to have got over it now he’s bigger

Some parents genuinely have no idea. I witnessed a woman get on the bus. It was snowing. She had a coat, gloves and a hat on. Her baby was sat in a stroller with no harm, coat unzipped, no gloves, socks but no shoes. No blanket. It was freezing. This poor baby was screaming In pain. The whole bus went silent observing this family. The mother kept saying "I don't know what's wrong, I don't know what you want". This poor baby (2 years old at most) was so red. His little hands, his ears, nose, his socks looked wet too. I'll never forget it and I regret not giving the poor boy my coat and my hat. His mum genuinely looked confused as to why he was crying. I often randomly think about that. I'll always politely offer if they could do with something. Some parents also just don't care. Houses/prams are warmer than they used to be (baby sleeping next to the window in a house that's not insulated would be cruelty), times change but it can look odd sometimes, especially to older or less fortunate peo LPple. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Anais I understand your point of view but it has nothing to do with what i said. 21-23 degrees celcius next to the window and sleeping baby is not cruel and having a baby out in corridor in unzipped snowsuit and hat next to him is also not cruel. If my baby looked like the one you described it’s a different story. My main point of view is that people especially strangers shouldn’t give advices when not needed and older people need to understand that overheating is more dangerous 🤷🏽‍♀️

Too hot or too old. Both are dangerous. But you know your baby best. You'll have to work on your over sensitivity if you don't want it to bother you. It shouldn't take up your whole day. I'm under sensitive if thats even a thing, so I just ignore the comment, or if they say, "baby will be cold," I smile and say, "we'll see" and carry on.

I was walking in the fridge aisle in Tesco in the summer just to pass by. My baby didn’t have socks on because it’s summer obviously.. a woman approached me and said “poor baby must be freezing” yeah because it’s snowing outside and I left her socks at home? Like common mate just shut up will you. People are so invested in other peoples children, they should worry about their own. Absolutely can’t stand the comments.
