Just don't give me advice about kids (if you don't have kids) and we'll get along just fine ;)
Please do give me advice about other things that you know about and have experience with when I need it.
- namuol 8y agoMy only advice is to try not to be self-righteous, but this has nothing to do with parenthood.
- scarface74 8y agoThe difference is that everyone who has kids has known what life is like with and without kids. The opposite is not true.
- projektir 8y agoThis is true for lots of things, though, many much more exclusive than parenthood, why is having kids singled out?
- scarface74 8y agoAnd you shouldn’t speak as if you have first hand experience on those things either.
- Sir_Substance 8y agoWould you take the advice of a childless pediatrician?
- blzaugg 8y agoAbsolutely. Parenthood and child medicine are very different things.
- skinnymuch 8y agoThe OP said not to give advice about kids. So the question likely is asking if he’d take advice about kids (not about child medicine) from said profession.
- minor3rd 8y agoI could advise someone not to jump off a bridge even if I didn't build it.
- itronitron 8y agothat would depend a lot on whether they never had children or had children that died at a young age
- fermienrico 8y agoMedicine doesn't quite work that way in the modern world.
- bluecalm 8y agoA lot of people suck at parenting which is obvious for everyone but them. Listening to some advice would help them but usually it's the attitude you present that prevents it. Here is one example: if your kid tries to sabotage you into buying drugs (sweets) in the middle of the supermarket by throwing a tantrum you don't cave. It's simple and obvious yet so many "just don't give me advice" parents are unable to process and apply it rationalizing why they are in very special situation and no one else could possibly understand. They go and buy more drugs to their already overweight sugar addicted children just to get some temporary relief contributing to child's demise in the process.
