It has been nearly a month since Chrissy Teigen defiantly went out to dinner with her husband, John Legend, one time even though they are parents now. Clearly that is not enough time for the nation to heal from the image of a mother enjoying her time, so people are still talking about it. 

Teigen discussed what it's like to have strangers on the Internet critiquing her parenting style on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan. "I knew mommy-shaming was a thing, but I didn't know it would come from going to dinner," she said.

She knows that taking time for herself is probably good for baby Luna in the long run, "Happy mommy, happy daddy, happy baby."

After Teigen was shamed for going on a date after giving birth, the commenting mob promptly moved on to taking digs at her fashion choices. A crop top on Mother's Day? The nerve!

John Legend would like the trolls to save some of the parenting criticism for him, too. 

"I don't even want to say, because everyone already thinks John's so perfect," Teigen said when asked about Legend's parenting. "So I love to kind of twist it and make sure people know that nobody's perfect, but he's been really great."

He somehow hasn't quite mastered lullabies yet, though. Get it together, Legend. 

Still, the whole co-parenting thing seems to suit them.
