Trust me, I've known people like that. It's better to cry and bleed now than to be totally blindsided later.<br /><br />Second of all, I don't think anyone's judging you for the biki thing. Everyone's just worried and concerned.

That's not their judging you, that's their attempt to help you be a better mom than they were.
