Do you ignore or discredit parenting advice and tips from people who AREN’T parents?
Big Sky 23 asked:
Do you get upset if you find out later that the source of the advice you had followed turned out to have never been a parent?
I’d definitely think twice about taking advice from a mechanic who had never owned a car.

But then again, “connect jumper cables positive first, then negative” is true no matter who says it.

How do I tell my friend to stop giving me parenting advice?
green velvet asked:
My friend is giving me parenting advice non stop because she’s been reading a parenting book written by a Nun (of all people to talk about being a parent) and she isn’t even a mom herself! I have a 2 year old who is just like every other 2 year old. She doesn’t want to eat, she throws fits etc.. But anyone will tell you that I’m a great mom and that my daughter is happy and a sweetheart. I’m sick of being told ” Don’t feed her this, don’t ever do that.. don’t punish ever!” I keep thinking “Just wait until theres a dirty diaper smeared across your kitchen wall or your kid is having a tantrum in the store and you are forced to leave” I would never ever spank my daughter but my friend is going so far as to tell me never to even give time outs. Who is she to give me this advice? She’s been married for barely a year and has no idea what parenting is like. She’s driving me nuts!!!

What is the worst parenting advice you have ever received?
little mama asked:
I have been given a lot of parenting advice over the years and have even tried some of the suggestions. I have since learned to just trust my own instincts. What I want to know is what is the worst or craziest advice you’ve ever been given, and did you try it?

What’s the title of the book about a woman who lives in an upside-down house and gives parenting advice?
Yonny asked:
I remember that each chapter had a story of a different parent looking for advice from this woman. One story I recall is one where a woman’s son was refusing to eat, and the woman in the upside-down house had the mother reduce his portion sizes down to ridiculous proportions and then gradually bring them back to normal sizes.
