Mum shaming

So weird that she said something and then also watched you feed your baby!! That would have made me really uncomfortable. Not looking forward to this side of motherhood 😳

Just be really quick and blunt back “mind your effing business,the cold air is coming from your big mouth,have a nice day” They are then too gobsmacked to bother you again. If they stare wave or ask can you help them because it looks like they have a crook in there neck. I don’t take kindly to busy bodies 😂

I would have asked if she was offering to buy me lunch 😜😂 What a nosey parker!

Ugh people are so bloody nosey!! How can she presume to know your daughter better than you. I get this all the time with my son as I keep him him bundled up inside. He has a brain injury his body literally will not let him over heat but if I take his hat off he will get hypothermia…but you wouldn’t know that would you cos you’re not his mum🖕🤣🙄

It’s none of her business or anyone’s tbh. I’d have just pretended like she was a ghost and I didn’t hear her because I’m petty lol. But with good reason 🤣 I get it all the time from people “your poor baby looks cold, you should wrap her up more”-yeah because it’s effing cold outside! She has lots of layers on, mittens, hat, blankets on her and it’s just because her nose is a little bit pink. Do they want me to bury my child’s face in a blanket?? Some people just make silly comments and care too much about what everyone else does especially when it comes to their children. Go about your business and forget other people’s comments

My partner broke down in the car with our son when he was about 9 months old, on the hottest day of the year, he managed to get to the nearest services and was switching from inside to outside in the shade because inside didn't have Aircon so it was sooo hot, and some random woman went up to him and said not sure a baby should be outside in this weather 😡😡 she's lucky I wasn't there to give her a mouthful!

Urgh I hate this. I had very similar when I stopped to breastfeed baby on a bench (on a sunny afternoon in May) whilst away on a girls weekend. My friends mum suggested I wait until we got to the cafe where it's warmer and more private. She meant well but it's so patronising and I'm not used to being told what to do. I said thank you but I'll decide when are where he gets fed!

I fed my baby in the park outside the other day because we'd taken my 5 year old to play and she got hungry whilst we were out. She was wrapped up too and I got a funny look from the other woman there with her grandchildren. It's like she's not naked and she's protected against the cold. Baby's gotta eat when baby's gotta eat. People are so weird and judgemental sometimes xx
