Does anyone else have this problem? At the past 2 doctor appointments for my little guy I've been asked if he goes to daycare...

The receptionist asked me at the first appointment if I went back to work and I told her I probably won't be going back to work until he's in preschool. And she just looked at me as if I said something unbelievable for a good few seconds. And said 'Oh, must be nice' like so sarcastically and added 'Dont forget to teach him to share for when he goes to preschool, kids that stay home with Mom tend to be greedy because they don't learn to share from daycare.'... Ummm ok? Did I just get double Mom shamed??

Then at his last appointment, his doctor asked me what daycare he goes to. I replied he's home with me. So she assumed that I worked nights and dad worked days. When I told her no, I'm just home with the baby right now, she said 'Oh, wow. I don't hear that too much anymore... You guys must be keeping you home to keep your assistance.' she said it so snidely... Almost accusingly. We don't get assistance with anything. My husband has a good job and works very hard to support us...and we live within our means... I told her, 'no, we don't get assistance. We just decided that it would make more sense for me to stay home than pay for full time daycare.'

There's been a few other times that it's been brought up in conversation and I've been made fun of.... 'must be nice living like a wife in the 50s'... Or 'Howd you convince your husband to let you stay home?'

I had no idea I would be judged so much for staying home with my baby. I expected to be judged more for breastfeeding in public 😆😆
