So I'm pretty much a judgemental cow when it comes to other parents. I'm giving other parents the side-eye a lot at parks and the supermarket though I would never ever say anything. You know, parents who scream at their toddlers 'YOU ARE A BAD NAUGHTY BOY!' makes me upset.

Parents who let their older kids on the toddler playground and let them climb up slides when toddlers are trying to slide down them also get the side eye from me.

Anyway, we were at the canteen after the pool and there were these dolled up platinum blonde very young women with young children. We're talking full face of makeup even though they've just been in the pool. I'm judging them already. (god I suck) The little girl, maybe 3 years old? Was sitting there, spreading her legs, lifting up her dress and playing with herself.

Her mother was horrified and I braced myself and she was all 'Honey! We don't do that in public. That's private. You can do that at home in your room if you want, okay?'

Awww, that's so great. Sex and body positivity for the win. I'm such a jerk.

I HATE WHEN PARENTS LET THEIR OLDER KIDS RULE THE PLAYGROUND DANGEROUSLY WHEN LITTLE KIDS ARE TRYING TO PLAY.

This is a good entry. It made me smile.

Yeah, I get judgmental about other parents too. It eases up with the second one. You don't have as much time to pay attention to what they're doing. ;)

That's pretty awesome!

I'm glad she surprised you. <3

I used to have that judgement thing, but life is so much easier once that button switched off, especially since my children and I are so not perfect.

That sounded weird, but I know exactly where you're coming from, and I was humbled.

TOTALLY unrelated to your post, but you live in Frankston yes? I think?
Im looking at rentals all the way from Seaford all the way down to Rosebud along the coast there. Even Teurong/Moorooduc etc. But what I wanted to ask was, well...Frankton has a 'reputation' so my husband says, and if I were looking at rental places there, what streeets/areas should I avoid?

[wickedcherub.livejournal.com]

There's areas to avoid but they're really obvious. They're sort of housing commission areas like north frankston, some parts of Hastings and mornington. Everything else is fairly well off.

Ok cool I'll tell husband. A lot of the ones I've seen in Frankston (online) hbave been renovated and look really good but he's all like 'noooo no no no".
Grr.

I'm glad it had a happy ending! :)

I get so judgy when people are mean to their toddlers. This lady was holding her little toddler girl in the mall I was in a couple weeks ago. The girl grabbed at her in a way that apparently hurt and the mom just popped her one on the butt, kind of hard, like it was no big thing to do. I almost cried tbh.
