Why are some parents on Yahoo giving answers that are insulting and judgemental?
Question by LittleMermaid: Why are some parents on Yahoo giving answers that are insulting and judgemental?
I know I shouldn’t let the opinion of a stranger probably 1000 miles away get under my skin, but it really upsets me to see people on here take a persons question(s) and determine that they are a bad parent or screwing their kids up for life. I have seen answers to my questions as well as others questions, where other parents are insulting and making judgements on parents, and instead of simply giving their opinion, they are telling them they are causing emotional damage to their kids, that they shouldn’t have had kids, and referring them to parenting websites and books. This forum is to get a variety of opinions, not tell someone they are a bad parent based on a brief glimps into their life, by the quesitons they post. If you had 2 moms and one gave her baby solids at 2 months and the other waited until hers was 6 months, or one mom limits her kids movies to G and the other lets her 10 yrs old watch PG13, why is either one a “Bad Mother”? It is just 2 different ways of parenting.
One of the main topics of debate on here seems to be the “Spank or don’t spank” argument. Instead of simply saying “I choose not to spank and here is why…..” or “I spank my kids and this is why……” parents each want to tell each other that they are bad parents and are going to warp their kids. Who made the people on here “Experts”? I asked a question about putting my daughter in a “non-competative” pagent, where all the kids do is show off their dresses and prance around looking cute and they all get a trophy, and all of a sudden I am selfish, a bad mom, an teaching my daughter to be shallow and to judge someone on their looks, and was even referred to a parenting website. I intant messaged the woman, and asked her if that was a hint that I needed parenting help and she said “I didn’t think it was a hint.” How rude!!!!!!!!!
