No. but I do let parents know that they are the ones in charge not their kids.
-
No. I hate that. I might offer some suggestions if they seem like they might be struggling and are open to help, but it is not my place to instruct them on how to raise their children.
-
No, but sometimes I wish you had to have a license to be a parent like you do to drive.
-
no i dont.:)
-
Absolutely not.
-
No, if they care I tell them how I manage, my triomphs and the parts where things are less than smooth. If I had to describe my parenting style in 4 words in would be: patience, respect, humour and cuddles. I use my intuition and it works for us, but it could not work for your child, every child is unique and so is every parent, you have to find your own balance and keep doing what works and redirect what doesn't. Hmm, I guess I just did what I said I didn't do: tell others how to parent ;-) sorry!
-
Only if they ask. I feel that after raising my own two children and two grandaughters, i have a certain amount of expertise in that area. But, only if i am asked.
-
No, but I'll offer advise if it's asked for.
-
Yep, every chance I get. :0)
-
yes i do all the time - and i dont even have kids LOL
-
No, I always thought that without children of my own, I had to right to say things. I have ideas, though and I've been asked my thoughts and shared things I've observed. But I've never tried to tell anyone how to raise children. Now if they want to train a dog or a horse, litter box train a rabbit, I'm your girl:-)
-
No but if some one asking me advise I’ll give it
-
When ever people as me for my advice or opinion, I am always glad to do what ever I can to help.
-
only when they ask
-
Only if they specifically ask, or are approaching me to vent about an issue where I might be able to help.
-
Never!! That is dangerous ground there! I don't want anyone telling me how, though I do listen to suggestions & offer why that would or would not work with my son. So, NO, I don't do that.
-
Yes, I have teenage mothers that ask for my advice all the time, I am the neighborhood mom.
-
No. I only know of things parents shouldn't do.
-
Just my son, and he doesn't listen, he just says ok.
-
No. But I pray for their kids. I'm not perfect either, so afterwards, I pray for mine. Axe
-
Only if they ask for an opinion.
-
Definately not. It's their baby or child and everyone likes to bring up their children in their own way.
-
No and it is extremely hard for me to keep my mouth shut. If I am ask I do give my 2 cents worth. I try not to throw stones when it comes to parenting.
-
when necessary, no i may not be a parent but working summer camps with children that are retarded (mentally retarded and or autistic). i know how to handle them youngens. besides im an officer i know how to handle not just a couple kids but a company worth of them.
-
I voice my methods of parenting to others but I never tell others how to parent. To each their own.
-
Oh, hell no. Good way to lose friends.
-
Only if they ask.
-
No everyone has different ideas of how you should raise children so no never :)
-
No..not unless they ask for my advice, and even then, I don't consider it telling them how to parent..
-
Not at all. I would be pissed off if someone tole me how to parent. I will tell them my opinion if they ask for it. But that is a touchy subject and I stay outta it.
-
to my friends who struggle to parent - i drop them BIG hints (but never say anything direct) to people on here i am as honest as possible i would recommend anyone who is struggling with pareneting to use a web site like AB
-
No, but I wish someone would. Not all parents, but there are a good number out there that really do need some sort of training.
-
Not unless they ask first. I had an old lady worker from behind the deli counter do that to me yesterday without my asking for her opinion and I wasn't even TALKING to her... I wanted to spit at her! I dont care for it personally.
-
Not random strangers, but my fiance. After all, if I have to spend a lot of time with his kids they should be tolerable to be around. They are much better already but we have more to work on...
