I write mainly about funny things my kids say or observations I have about this 'parenting' thing.
I'm educated as an RN and often during school we were told the best thing we could do for someone was just to observe. That observation comes in handy now as I catch my kids being humorous or catch bits of things other people say and do.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're all guilty of it. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We're all on the receiving end of it as well.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You know what I'm talking about here.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Offering unsolicited advice. Especially to parents. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It seems parents young and old, even people without kids, cannot keep their mouths shut about what they think you should be doing with your own kids.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I personally, don't mind a little advise now and then. If anything it makes me feel a little less alone during whatever phase my kids happen to be in. However, I cannot stand unsolicited advice. (even though I'm sure I've offered up more than my fair share)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I always have to stop and think what people think I'm doing wrong? Do they see some sort of problem that I don't, or am unequipped for? Do they know my kid better than I do?</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Most often I brush this off and ignore the people trying to tell me what to do. Especially when I don't really look up to them as a parent. But when that 'one mom' (you know who I'm talking about) offers up her two cents, that's when I start to question my own methods. </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Maybe we could all just take a moment to think before we speak (or post a comment) and ask ourselves do they really want our help? Or were they just making a humorous observation/comment about their kid? </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I try to make it a point that unless someone says 'I need help' I keep my advise to myself. Unless of course I see someone trying to set their kid on fire or something, but she probably doesn't want your help either. </span> </div>
