GM - I'm the same as you. I talk to DS constantly and I don't care if people think I'm crazy!

On the topic - I would honestly answer yes. We have a track that goes past our house that leads up into a rougher part of town, and I constantly see people going past with kids wearing no shoes and socks on cold days, and swearing and screaming - so mentally I do judge. I also feel greatful that I don't choose to live my life like that and I really feel like I am good mum.

In terms of judging when kids run out onto roads or have tantrums etc, I would say I hope I don't judge since becoming a mum..especially since I was looking at clothes in a shop the other day and I turned around and DS was gone . Blind panic for 5 minutes until a lady said "I think he's over there". I don't give a hoot if she judged me, I was too busy judging myself.
