Agreed, but it definitely happens far too often in general conversation. I try not to be overly chatty about what we do as parents unless asked, but in the odd time I've mentioned something it's been met with actual gasps. We don't really do anything overly crazy, but in mentioning that we let our oldest cry it out one woman told me they'd be too concerned that their kids would turn into serial killers to ever try that, while another woman made an overly dramatic shiver. It's obnoxious. IMO be it helicopter parent or neglectful like me, judging somebody outright for a parenting tactic that has no impact on your day to day lifestyle is a ###### move.
