Hey everybody! Don't you just hate it when in public you see someone who seems like they don't have a clue about raising a child? Doesn't it spark inside comments you would love to mention to the parents or parent? "Yeah", you say to yourself "I ought to give them my Opinion. I'm sure they are dying to know what I think." So when you do decide to, there is gonna be one of two reactions. They will either hear what you desperately need to express and disregard it once youre out of sight or they will give you some advice in return.

Kinda like some token of their appreciation for you taking the time out of your day to help them rear their kid. Yeah kinda like the way we all have an opinion about how the President should be doing his job. Well not that opinionated but none the less. We all have ideals of what the world should be like or how it should work. But hey, guess what? We don't know half of what we think is in everyones best interest.

For example, this evening while out shopping with my baby, I was approached by someone who felt that same need to educate me in parenting 101. "You shouldn't have a newborn out in public places for a couple months. And you shouldn't leave a pacifier in their mouth for an extended period of time." And I had those two earlier reactions to respond with. I didn't hear what they had to say and ponder their comments. Yeah the other one. "When you bring this child into the world and are the one responsible for him, that's about when you can even suggest anything to me"

She didn't even have kids to be giving advice to begin with. And even if she did, I wouldn't be hearing it. She can use that when its her business and stay out of mine. Its really weird that people feel that they cant contain the urgency to let their opinions be heard when they have no clue that maybe they shouldn't be saying anything.

Nobody raises their kid the same way everybody else does. Similar to some degree. But not the same. So people should stop their judgements and giving other people suggestions on how they raise their kids. The parents do what works for them. And as long as the child doesn't suffer, it shouldn't be anyones business what the hell a parent does or doesn't do.

When my child grows up to be a serial killer, yeah that's exactly when I want everybody saying shit to me about how I raised my kid.
