I like comparing notes lol. It helps me stay sane and believe that I didn’t ruin my kids or whatever. But yeah, my wonderful group of mom friends do stay in their lane and there seems to be an unspoken rule to never ever speak ill of one another. We are such different people with such different kids, but we understand that there are many ways to raise a kid (not that we don’t have private opinions. But given we are only outsiders to their lives in the end, it seems unwise to open our traps). I think people are too quick to jump to THIS IS CHILD ABUSE AND WE OUGHT TO CALL THE CPS. Relax. We’re raising kids. Not partaking in ideological purity tests.

Sounds like you have some genuinely good friends! xoxo
Growing can be hurtful. You have to choose friends wisely.
