Being a mum is one of the hardest jobs. There aren’t any working hours or holidays and everybody around you tries to teach you how to do a ‘better job’. Well, according to them. Everybody knows a better way until they are put in the same position.

If you are shaming other moms about how they feed their kids, at least show that your way is much better

However, the kids grew up the healthiest people, very affectionate and attached to mum
As revenge on the online bully, the author’s mom proved that her kids are happy and loving through actions
And the difference was undeniable – OP’s sister came running happily to her mom while the bully’s kid was crying as he wanted to play with the toys. And to say that the online bully had a sour look on her face is an understatement. So as the author says – “Sometimes the best petty revenge is simply to be more successful.”

Moreover, we contactedVicki Broadbent,Bored Panda’sparenting expert, and she kindly agreed to share her insights regarding online advice, the emotional impact of criticism and bullying online on mothers and how society can better support and normalize alternative feeding methods.
To begin with, Vicki shares that it’s important to tread with caution when you are seeking advice online. “People have their own opinions and prejudices so I would advise you to speak to professionals over seeking counsel on forums, particularly when your worries are related to medical issues or concerns,” she adds. And while it’s possible to find support online, people can become judgmental quickly.
Moreover, Vicki emphasizes that “trolls can affect mothers deeply, particularly as parents are already vulnerable to feeling more sensitive due to the maternal load we all bear.” The pressures that parents face today feels far heavier than the previous generation and there is always someone willing to offer their opinion.
