Scolds are always around no matter what you do. It’s just a bit amazing what total strangers will feel is appropriate to comment, but you have to take it from a place of fear of the unknown. I’d say “or you’ll go insane” but if you have 3+ kids you’re probably already there. ;)

The key is to have people in your life who understand the struggle and don’t just rattle off “easy ways” to solve all your problems.
