These are the top 10 parental feelings as a result of judgement

Seven in 10 parents admit to feeling like ‘failures’ in the early stages of their baby’s life – due to constant judgement from others.

Parents typically notice a negative comment about their parenting four times a day, meaning there are more than 43 million judgements felt daily across the nation.

Most judged group

The research of 2,000 parents also found same-sex parents were the ‘most judged’ group, receiving remarks eight times a day, DOUBLE the average.

The top judgement behaviours range from negative comments behind a parent’s back (52 per cent), to stolen stares (41 per cent) and whispers (40 per cent).

And when it comes to why parents are judged – the list can seem endless – with the top spots taken by what they buy for their children (68 per cent), followed closely by who parents are as a person (64 per cent).

The research was commissioned by C&G baby club, which has worked with Love Island star Camilla Thurlow for its #LoveDontJudge campaign, a movement which looks to stamp out judgement and encourage more support for parents.

The celebrity mum said: “For any parent, being on the receiving end of judgement over the way you choose to raise your child is difficult.

“I now know from my own personal experience, how negative comments over even something simple such as how often Nell wakes during the night can leave me feeling hurt and worried.
