If you give a child something that is appealing to a child, they are probably going to want more than one sip. If you give them something that tastes gross, they probably won't be asking again anytime soon. It's better than a margarita, but it's still not okay, no.
You said it's different, not me. Plus, you know, everyone finds the same tastes appealing. So your logic is totally sound. Absolutely.
pretty sure I said generally speaking above. But like I said, it still isn't okay.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
It is when it's directed at me by a total fucking stranger.
So do you still call them names if it's wine? Or just for a margarita?
Maybe I am less offended by things than you are?
It would depend on the situation.
So a complete stranger walks up to you as you are interacting with your child and says, "Hi, I'd like you to know that you are a tool because of this parenting choice I'm observing and making assumptions about." You're telling us that you wouldn't be offended by that?

No because if I am truly doing NOTHING WRONG then what's it to me? I would probably take offense to it if I was embarrassed and knew I shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.
I know this is irrelevant, but everyone always talks about shopping carts tipping over. I have never seen this happen. Like, in other parts of the world, do shopping carts spontaneously flip over when you throw your bananas in there?

How about if someone is passive aggressive about it, like you claim you would be, and makes a comment from their table loudly enough for you (and clearly others nearby) to hear? I'm not a parent, bu I'm honestly kind of pissed at the idea that you find that an acceptable way to speak to a stranger, especially in front of their child.
There's nothing wrong with a sip of alcohol. I would like you to find me an actual, scientific, fact based study that shows how a single sip of alcohol will harm a child. You don't publicly humiliate a stranger because of a difference of opinion. That makes you the tool in the situation.
Lol, liar. I can't wait until you run here with your first dose of mommy judgment.
People judge people all of the time. If you constantly worry about what people are thinking and saying about you, you would drive yourself nuts. Feel free to remind me of this post if that happens.
I fully admit I will do tons of dumb things when I am a parent, but this is not one of them. I also admitted that I can be a judgmental bitch, on like page 4 or something, but I do feel strongly about this. Fortunately for the world, I don't pay enough attention to what other people are doing at their dinner table to even notice these things.
Has Ilovepugs always been this insufferable? She's making me want to get all small children wasted.
She's just super young and thus always right about all the things. And naturally feels it necessary to publicly insult anyone who doesn't subscribe to her way of thinking.
When did I ever say I was always right about things?

lol. okay. you should be REALLY glad that you're not pinocchio, or you'd be thwacking the shit out of your monitor with your nose right now.

I notice she never answered your questions regarding her age.

Uh, yeah. Insulting a stranger is a dumb thing to do. Not to mention completely counterproductive to what you claim your intent is. But I presume you're really doing it just to feel better about yourself, since you clearly don't care what the effect of your insult would be.
I thought saying this to a stranger wouldn't have any affect on them because my opinion wouldn't have any weight? Personally, I would feel pretty crappy if I let my child consume alcohol.
ANYWAYS, I am on my way out for supper, hope I don't see any mothers giving alcoholic beverages to their children! Hope you have a good afternoon!

So since you believe that making a comment won't affect them if they feel they are not doing anything wrong, it's okay to publicly humiliate them?

LOL. Weren't you offended when someone commented on how much you were showing the other day?
