Of the fathers who reported being criticized about their parenting, 67% of received criticism about discipline.

But a new survey published by the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital found that more than half of fathers believe they are judged harshly as parents. Overall, 52% reported receiving negative feedback about their parenting style, while 90% felt that they were actually doing a good job.

"We've previously had a similar survey about mom-shaming, so we wanted to provide a balance with men," said Clark. "Different parenting styles can be a strength that fathers bring to parenting," Clark told ABC News."A father's parenting style can be enriching to their children -- help kids to behave positively and broaden their perspective of the world."

When criticism comes from someone who really knows you it may be more difficult to accept, according to Clark. And that's why the fathers may not want to participate after being scorned. Dominique Teasley of Alexandria, Louisiana, is a father of four biological children and two step children ranging in ages from 5 to 17. He told ABC News that when he receives criticism about his parenting, it is most often about disciplining his children, and like many fathers in the Michigan poll, he said he receives the most parental feedback from the people closest to him.
