Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’m a mother of a challenging ‘spirited’ child, and have had my fair share of mini heart attacks. We all have. I’m not perfect, but I can safely say I am extra careful with what I do and say around my kiddo. Parenting her has also taught me to not judge other parents, with an exception.

My old next door neighbor has a one year old, and she is literally posting on Facebook about her injuries daily. She’s already glued to her phone as it is. Within a two week timespan, she had mentioned how she fell head-first out of a shopping cart at Walmart and was being monitored for a concussion, fell off of their brick fireplace, fell out of a high chair, got into their closed tub and turned the tap on to almost knee depth before being discovered, had symptoms that ended up progressing to pneumonia due to not going to a doctor sooner because signing the kid up for baby gymnastics and attending two classes was more important, and fucking ate chunks of drywall out of the house they just bought. Tons of other incidents before that, constant bruises on her head and face. I know kids can be little tornados of wtf, but her constant posting of pictures and ‘look what she did now!’ blasé approach to it actually started to piss me off. Many of these incidents could have been avoided if she paid more attention. The irony is that she seems to think choosing IVF makes her the best mother alive and her relationship with God pretty much places her above everyone (she’s fiercely Pentecostal and openly condemns same-sex couples we know and all that). Her husband is currently deployed and I know he sees this, and probably doesn’t need the added stress of seeing his kid always getting hurt.

To add, my husband is also friends with her on social media and has brought this up on his own accord, and he typically doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone’s business. Hearing even him go, “damn, again?” says a lot.

Anywho, after the umpteenth clusterfuck that made its way to social media, I had commented on how her baby seems to be getting hurt quite a bit, and she flew off the handle. She made at least three passive aggressive posts after that saying how ‘people are too nosy’ and how ‘the world is godless and needs help’ (I am openly agnostic) yada yada. I cut ties with her since, but can’t help wondering if mentioning concern was out of line.
