Is there something about having a child that makes a woman feel like she’s superior to others? That’s what you might think considering how often moms judge other moms for making “bad” decisions.

That’s what you might think considering how often moms judge other moms for making “bad” decisions. Now I’m not talking about dangerous decisions, just ones that someone might not agree with, like deciding not to breastfeed, or to put your child in day care, or to have a child when you’re “<A target="_blank" href="http://www.momversation.com/episodes/do-you-judge-young-mothers ">too young</A>” or “too old,” to let your child watch television, to enroll her in too many activities or too few, or to <A target="_blank" href="http://www.babycenter.com/4_stay-at-home-moms-do-you-judge-working-moms_1746151.bc">work full-time </A>or part-time, or to exercise too little or too much during pregnancy. You name it and there are plenty of moms out there willing to shame you for it.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.expectingwords.com/why-moms-can-be-meanies">What’s got me started on this topic?
