Say what you want about Kim Kardashian, but there is no doubt that she is crazy about her three kids. However, that part of her life is still under extreme scrutiny on the internet by people combing through everything she shares with a fine tooth comb. The latest target of people who don't know how to mind their business is a photo where Kim's 2-year-old son, Saint West, appears to have a pacifier in his mouth.

Mom-shamers were ready to attack and judge Kim's parenting skills because they felt that Saint was too old for that, but the reality star shut them down. It turned out that he had something else in his mouth. However, Kim's response only started another wave of criticism that proves she can never win.
The picture that kicked things off was this sweet image of her, Chicago, and Saint.
"Missing my babies!!!" she captioned the image.
Immediately, people assumed that Saint had a pacifier in his mouth and started judging away.
But they were so wrong. It was actually a ring pop!
Kim shut those assumptions down in the comments by clarifying that he had candy in his mouth.
She also added "P.S. mom shammers it’s not a pacifier, he’s eating candy!" to her Instagram caption.
It was totally ridiculous that she had to defend herself in the first place. Luckily, she had fans backing her up.
So what if it was a pacifier? That is Kim's business and Saint is still a little kid!
But clarifying that Saint was eating candy started a whole new war.
Fans expected that people would start coming after Kim for letting Saint eat candy and they were right.
Kim also received backlash for misspelling mom-shamers and writing "mom shammers" in her caption.
She was also judged because Chicago wasn't wearing socks in this picture. Needless to say, the comments section of this post was a nightmare.
We're sure Kim laughs all of this off.
She is well aware that the mom police are watching her every move.
The caption for this photo of Chicago sitting on Saint's shoulders is proof.
It would have given a lot of people great pleasure to tell Kim that she was a terrible mom for putting Chicago in a dangerous situation, but she got ahead of them. "Wild Hair Don’t Care," Kim wrote. "*Don’t worry I’m holding her up from the back."
Kim's babies, and the world in general, would be in a much better place if we all weren't so quick to judge each other.
We can all agree that negativity does more harm than a kid eating a piece of candy.
