A mother felt shamed for bringing her fussy baby to a restaurant during a celebratory dinner. Despite her daughter's mild fussiness due to teething, an older woman nearby reacted negatively, making the mother feel insecure. She considered leaving early but decided against it, prioritizing the celebration. The mother questioned societal expectations of moms, expressing her belief that parents should still enjoy dining out with children. She emphasized the need for compassion towards parents with infants, differentiating between the behavior of babies and older children.
If you have your kid on a screen, you're a 'bad' mom - but if your kid isn't sitting peacefully, they're 'annoying.'
Now, my daughter's teething, so she was ... kind of whiny, but not like, insane. She wasn't throwing a tantrum, and again ... she's a baby.
I just feel like we're entitled to still have life experiences even though we have a baby.
Dude, have some compassion.
