Have you ever received an unsolicited advice about your parenting? I think that's one of my major pet peeves! I mean I'm not saying I'm a perfect mom and that I don't seek advice from other people especially from friends and family whose opinion I value very much.
It's just that there are instances which could really get on your nerves when some people, thinking they mean well, would blurt out "you should do this," or "it's better if you...". What 's even worse than unsolicited parenting advice is when people forget that you're the parent and take over decision-making for your kids without your permission!
That's why I thought of the quote above. In the end, what really matters to me is the opinion of my son. After all, he's the one I'm parenting here, and not those people who don't even understand the relationship between me and Marti.
