Best And Worst Parenting Advice

f you’re pregnant, or a parent, you’ve probably received the much dreded “advice” from friends and family.

Don’t do this… don’t say that… follow this rule… go to this daycare… no bottles… pampers only… you know what I’m talking about. Some good, some off the wall advice tips that you receive from people that are “just trying to help”. On top of that, it doesn’t usually help!

If you’re in the process of being swamped with advice, take it in stride. In the end, all that matters is what you do, not what they told you to do. If you know you are doing the right thing, it doesn’t matter that they think it’s the wrong way.

It can be hard to ignore them, and if it really is that irritating, just tell them that you appreciate their thoughts, but you have your own way of doing things. If they don’t listen, you could always out right tell them to shut up? Honestly, explain to them that you appreciate it, but you have a way that you like to raise your children. Don’t forget to mention that you’ll keep their tips in mind.

If the advice is good, enjoy it. After all, it is also good to get a second opinion from someone who has knowledge of what you are going through now.
