My 2-year old daughter is not the most daring child. A matter of fact, she spends most of her time at the playground clinging to me. I was holding her hand as she went down the slide and this obnoxious mother says to me, “You should encourage her to go down the slide alone…” How would I do that? Please tell me. I would love to know. I just ignored her.

The MOMMY POLICE are anyone... friends, family, even strangers on the street, who tell you how to parent and judge you if your choices differ from their own.
When it comes to parenting, there are NO ANSWERS. Barring established safety precautions, like the use of car seats and not drinking poison, everyone is just guessing. Speaking with physicians, educating ourselves through books, and sharing personal experiences will no doubt elicit helpful advice. But when it comes down to it, the truth is, there is no “right” way to raise a child.
Unfortunately, there will always be the inescapable MOMMY POLICE, judging us; pushing their views and making us doubt our instincts.
Hopefully, these Mommy Police Attacks will entertain you while helping to soften the blow next time you’re hit unexpectedly. Remember... don’t let anyone make you feel like a bad parent.
