I agree with this. Do you?

Question

-I'm not sure how I feel about circumcision to be honest. 
- I probably wouldn't pierce my babies ears, but I won't knock it.

Answer

Ehh I don't really think so. I think people have just learned more about how circumcision isn't totally necessary and we have more respect for everyone's right to their own body. People have just been caught up in tradition in the past IMO. I don't really care about circumcision but the people who are against it are against it whether or not you post about it on social media.

Answer

Emmmmm,
Opinionated parents aren't anything new. People were judging my mum in '98 and they're still judging her now in '17 🤷‍♀️. 
When people think they're a better parent, and they think their technique is better, they'll judge regardless of the internet.

Answer

Can we not today though ? Let dead horses lie 😩

Answer

I dont care what other people do to their babies. But I will not cause pain to my baby over cosmetic issues to feed my own ego. If the kid wants earrings, they can have them when they're old enough to decide and appreciate them. I won't circumcise because there is no need. I've never heard of anyone being picked on for being uncut. It didn't bother me when I saw my first uncut penis. it's not a big deal.

Answer

I think they are both pointless outside of culture and religion. I was around before social media so I don't understand the correlation?

Answer

The only thing that's accurate about this is that mom shaming is more in your face. It's constant. Its exhausting.   Example. I post a picture of my son chewing on a baby gate and Say something like "when will he learn that he can't chew through the bars. Attica!!!" And my sanctimommy friend says "yknow Danielle. He's not really trying to chew through the bars. He's teething. You should give him an ice teething ring. He's probably uncomfortable." 🙄
Another example. I post a picture of my son  eating ice cream for the first time at 8 months and another sanctimommy says "so soon?! My son didn't have ice cream until his first birthday!!!!!"
It's not that there are more judgmental moms. It's that they're judgmental about seemingly insignificant things and they're inescapable if you have any type of social media account. 20 years ago, people judged moms who smoked in front of their kids, let their 9 year olds  ride in the front seat. Now they're judging women for using GMOs, non organic foods and god forbid letting your kid watch tv for 10 minutes so you can poop. 
It is different. But not in the way she describes.

Answer

I don't have a son. But if I did his father would be the one to decide on circumcision. I don't have a penis, so I'm more comfortable with some that has one making that choice, knowing he would also have our sons best interest in mind. 
I had my ears pierced as a baby. I also have a lot of metal allergies and have to be very careful what earrings I wear. We chose not to get our daughters ears pierced until she's older (if she wants) so that she can communicate with us and tell us if they're bothering her.

Answer

I think that social media has exposed us to more opinions, but parents judging other parents is tale as old as time. Supermarket Susan probably always cared. Back in 96, mom was definitely judging moms who pierced their baby's ears. She also listened to Dr. Laura Schlessinger 🙄 who pretty much built an entire career out of judging other mothers. Same shit, different medium of sharing unsolicited opinions.

Answer

Before I was even old enough to have access to the internet, I would see something very similar to this in my hometown....there are actually still women in that town that do it.

Answer

I agree in the aspect that people's opinions are much more well known and out there with the use of the internet and social media.

I agree with this. Do you?
