Obviously, I didn't have kids yet, so I was getting paid to give families advice. I'd say that I could definitely still help them becasue I understood some learning and reinforcement concepts that they didn't know about. When I could give them a new way to look at situations and new tools that *might* work for them, they were grateful. I'd never, ever, just go up to one of my friends though and give them unsolicited advice.Lovely Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575410614185725824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150477307698355489.post-88364304497597033802013-03-08T08:29:04.618+02:002013-03-08T08:29:04.618+02:00I think I have some built up anger towards these p...I think I have some built up anger towards these people or something because when I read this comment all I could think about was how they make me want to claw at their eyes when they give me these looks!

Before having children I worked as a PE coach and in a creche and had TONS of opinions. Luckily for my sake I only shared them with my Hubby and MIL but I got a true slap in the face by karma when my own entered the world!

At 20 years old, you've raised nobody! You aren't old enought to have 'raised' them!

You know what I'm talking about, the grocery shopping scream belting out of your child's mouth, the stranger who has an infant quietly sleeping in a car seat (or even the ones who obviously have no children) walking by and trying to make eye contact with you to show their disapproval of your hungry, tired, antsy two year old yelling "NO!" as you try to pick out the best priced chicken?<br /><br />Yeah, those looks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150182082190884080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150477307698355489.post-18010147576462017172013-03-08T01:58:37.456+02:002013-03-08T01:58:37.456+02:00I won't lie, I laughed hardest at the seat-bel...I won't lie, I laughed hardest at the seat-belt baby. I also loved "drown in your own words". The worst for me is when a parent with an older child says, "Just wait until..., you'll see then." As though my child will eventually be going through exactly what they have experienced. Makes me wanna say, "Just wait until this,."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150477307698355489.post-57929198676957285302013-03-08T00:02:25.256+02:002013-03-08T00:02:25.256+02:00Haha, love this.

As a neonatal nurse, who was pretty hands on looking after younger siblings and cousins, I pretended I didn't think I knew it all but inside I was feeling like "yeah i got this" Then I was handed my very own baby and *poof* turns out, I knew nothing! And even once you get a grip on what's going on- they grow so quick, before you know it, everything has changed anyway and what used to work doesn't anymore...and if you have another child you can guarantee they won't be a bit like the first either. So really, you're never going to have all the answers, and anyone who thinks they do is delusional!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03230756484782734718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150477307698355489.post-46786840428303355492013-03-07T20:41:04.747+02:002013-03-07T20:41:04.747+02:00yup!

The ones who start every lecture with "when *I* was raising kids..." and then proceed to tell you how to do things, clearly showing they have forgotten what it's like to have a baby screaming all night or a toddler putting a pillow on the baby's face during failed tummy time and then sitting on the pillow.The Next Stephttp://lorihokie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150477307698355489.post-87371164835759044802013-03-07T15:48:57.676+02:002013-03-07T15:48:57.676+02:00Ugh, the non-parent "experts"!

She gave me awesome advice like how to shame a child into pooping on the potty. Then there was the guy who once asked me about a parenting choice I'd made, and said, point-blank, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Never spoke to him again.Jenn @ Something Clever 2.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/01286074881865297507noreply@blogger.com
