A Family Divided Over Diapers and Decisions

In a whirlwind of emotions and accusations, one sister’s unconventional parenting style has led to a family rift. Ignoring doctors’ advice and allowing her soon-to-be four-year-old to dictate his life has raised eyebrows and concerns. When she began sharing her ‘superior’ methods with pregnant relatives, our concerned sibling decided to share the unspoken side effects. This led to accusations of ‘mom-shaming’ and ‘laziness.’ Now, the family is divided, and the question remains: Was she wrong to voice her concerns?

OP criticized her parenting without researching, YTA.

“YTA Mostly because the kids developmental delays you suggest are not caused by crib nor pacifiers. If he was developing normally, she would not wear him, because normally developing kid don’t want to be worn. As in, her wearing him still is more likely to be result of his delays then the opposite. The fact that you mix in complains that really cant delay the kid and dont tell what kind of delays he has makes me doubt your judgement regarding of which is cause of which. If you want to show concern, you need to show more interest in actual kids issues and how it changes things before complaining about what parent does. You don’t do that at all. Some delayed kids wont be potty trained even in their lives or it takes significant amount of effort. Some kids never learn to walk and are worn/strolled until they move into wheelchair. Or they learn that as significant victory at age of 13. I dont think he is that far away, but you omitted all those details in order to get validation here.”
