As a parent, few things are more frustrating than unsolicited parenting advice, especially when it’s delivered with a side of condescension.
In a now-viral video, podcaster and mom of two Cameron Oaks Rogers calls out one of her biggest parenting pet peeves: when people talk to her through her baby. “If you ever want to piss off a mom, talk to her through her baby,” she begins. “There is literally nothing that makes my blood boil like the way I feel when someone talks to me — specifically, it’s always kind of condescendingly — through my baby.”
Rogers elaborates, “Like they’re holding the baby and the baby’s crying, [and they say,] ‘Oh, did mommy not feed you enough?’ What the f-ck?” She continued, “‘You have to tell mommy you need socks.’ Any of that, no no no, stop talking to me through my baby.”
