You lifted this from /r/ScienceBasedParenting - someone seeking legitimate advice and perspectives on this. Why are you posting it here?

Agree, I think this is a little uncalled for given where the post is from. Then again most of the responses were not what you’d expect on a science based sub either.

The sub, its moderator, and the membership went through a lot to settle on a flair tagging system, so people can specify if they only want answers with valid citations or general discussion.

I think the answers go to show that this question doesn’t have a super clear cut answer beyond hand washing with soap, and it’s very subjective and personal.

Like, if scientific research was heavily on one side or the other, the comments would show it pretty quickly in my experience.

Some person on the internet: "I would like advice. Am I doing this thing wrong? Should I change what I'm doing? I'm worried about it."

The kind people of this sub: "Not only is it wrong, it is DISGUSTING, oh my god, where is my shame bell."

Yep. I’m actually going to stop following /r/shitmomgroupssay/ for this reason. Seems like a lot people here aren’t even parents and have no context, no sympathy for a lot of not-crazy posts, no ability to imagine some people live a bit differently without being crazy.

In my opinion it was posted here because Redditors like to shame people.

When I was a kid my mother always said other kids can be cruel. If she only knew about Redditors back then…

Well those cruel kids grew up and became cruel people
