Parenting Advice

For the most part I don't care what anyone thinks about me, but watch out when it comes to judging my parenting skills!! Strangers that is - I can take friends comments much better. I think really, it's one of my core values...if someone isn't hurting someone else, then really, why do you care?
Here's what I am leading up to and venting about. We went to a beautiful outdoor festival a few weeks ago. I actually had all the kids presentable and sun screened ahead of time. That's my new trick.
Sunscreen before we leave- it's much easier then driving to your adventure and then trying to apply sunscreen as your kid writhes around trying to get away from your grip and over to whatever all the other kids are doing.

Anyhow, we had been there maybe five minutes when this woman taps my shoulder, and points to the baby in my front pack. 

"He's sun burnt" She says very mater-of-factly.

"No, he's not" I say (WHY OH WHY AM I NOT CAPABLE OF JUST SAYING THANK-YOU?!)

Because I know that he has sunscreen on and there is no possible way he's burnt already. I am also think that perhaps his shorts have ridden up and his little legs are rubbing on the front pack. I'm sure that's what is causing the 'sun-burn'

"Well," she tells me "I pushed on the sunburn and it turned white and went back to pink. That's what sunburns do" 

Like I didn't know that-how stupid do I really look?

How dare she have the audacity to touch my baby - that's what told her. And I turned away quickly. And then I felt bad, because truly she had been trying to help. She just crossed the line. My line. The one that I created, and need to stop drawing.
