Mother Theresa said, "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Have you ever considered what you are doing when you judge someone? Basically, you are saying that you are in a superior position, you know more and are entitled to determine whether what someone else is doing is wrong or right. There are very few of us who are actually in the position to judge another person accurately and fairly.

When we judge someone because they are doing something different than what we are doing, that doesn't necessarily mean that what they are doing is wrong. It's just different. So they choose to raise their children in a particular way. It works for THEIR family. Maybe you wouldn't choose it for your family, and that's ok too. Maybe they wouldn't want to raise their family the way you do.
It can be hurtful to receive judgmental comments from others. Instead of putting someone down and criticizing their way of parenting, look for understanding. Try to see where they're coming from before you pass judgment.
When it comes to parenting, we need all the help and support we can get. It doesn't hurt to think before you speak.
