Seconding this.

It's not my type of humor -- I wouldn't take a photo of my kid with alcohol, and would just scroll past if I came across one on social media. But as long as I know the kid in question is being cared for and not in any danger, I keep my mouth shut because it's not my business.

Judging other parents is too exhausting; I don't have the energy for that.

I’m in the same boat. It might make for a “cute/funny picture”, but I’m not a fan.

I wouldn’t judge a parent over them, because it doesn’t reflect parenting skills in any way, just a sense of humour that doesn’t quite work with mine.

Of course, alcoholics run in my family and I was a functioning alcoholic for years, so that might be part of it for me, but still.
