When Family Criticizes Your Parenting Behind Your Back

It stings to find out that my own family talks negatively about how I parent when I’m not around. I try so hard to raise my kids with love, patience, and respect, but it feels like nothing I do is ever good enough for them. The whispers and judgment hurt, especially when I’m doing my best to break cycles and create a nurturing home. Sometimes, I wonder if they’ll ever understand that my choices come from a place of deep care, not rebellion. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you handle criticism from those closest to you? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear your experiences and advice. #ParentingJourney #FamilyDynamics #BreakingCycles #Parenting
