The person probably shared private parenting habits and received such criticism..

  Of course I shared private parenting habits - parents often discuss various approaches to problems or daily life. I didn't share without being prompted, though. I keep most private things to myself in person. If sleeping came up and I mentioned co-sleeping, people were often critical. They think it's bad for the kid, dangerous, unnecessary, what have you. I don't mind the criticism; I think it's helpful to know how people feel and reflect on my own decisions. People are remarkably harsh with their criticisms when it comes to parenting sometimes, but I think this reflects how uncertain, even insecure and anxious people feel about the decisions we need to make as parents. It's fine.

    Yes, I’m not in any way judging or criticizing your decision to share your parenting habits, specially after being prompted. What I dislike sometimes is others trying to control at all times how parents should grow a kid. This will ultimately be passed over to kids, which may then propagate this behavior. Life, I guess.
