So true, so true...I will say that as a parent I have tried to be welcome of all suggestions regarding raising a child...parent or no parent. You never know what helpful info you may get from someone who has traveled the road before you. Just because you listen to advice doesn't mean you have to take it. You can tell a difference between those genuinely trying to help and the people who think they know it all and think their way is always the best.
Like my mother in law, who let her other grandchild drink Milo's tea out of a bottle at a little over one but couldn't understand why she never wanted to sleep. And told us she didn't see any reason why Taylor couldn't have any!!!
She was very insistant this one instance that we let her have some and then got her feelings all hurt and cried and tried to make it look like we were mean to her when we refused. Geez woman!....oops, I am ranting!
