Have you ever been corrected/given advice on your parenting by someone who isn't a parent?

Question

Have you ever had your parenting or something you've done as a parent corrected by someone who isn't a parent? Or Have you ever received advice on parenting by someone who isn't a parent? Don't count any experiences you've had on glow, I'd like to know if you have been personally corrected or given advice by a mom parent to your face.

Answer

Yes. It doesn't bother me. Just because someone doesn't have kids, doesn't mean their suggestions should be dismissed.

Answer

Sometimes it's someone who has professional knowledge that is really helpful. If they offer it In a judgy way I'm far less likely to listen though

Answer

The irony is most of the time it's coming from someone who isn't a parent.

Answer

Yes, and I actually learned from it! I guess it's just a matter of how people talk to you. I don't like people insisting, but I always listen to people who are trying to help out, sometimes I agree with their opinion, and sometimes I don't. Just because they aren't parents doesn't mean they don't have actual real life experience or a valid point.

Answer

So far it's only been from my sister who runs a daycare out of her house so some of her comments are valid and I take them into consideration. She's polite about it, though, just says "this worked for so-and-so when he did that."

Answer

Yes. And I always tell them to shut up and mind their own business 💁🏻

Answer

My fiancé's sister. But I really just ignore everything she says lol. She's actually a mom now, but wasn't at the time.
