Parenting advice... (psych!)

   

not my house but it could be!

 We have ALL dealt with it, unsolicited great advice ( I know I have been the giver from time to time, and if I being really honest we all have given unwanted advice at some point. So, that being said instead of giving unwanted advice. I want to write about how to deal with the advice, and do it in a list so I don't get too far off subject.

1. You are not alone, if you go back in unwanted advice started probably the Moment Eve and Adam's eyes opened up to their failings. We are humans and therefore fallen and that begets flaws. It true. We are flawed. So, if you are getting the advice you don't want remember no one is perfect. People said and do things that they jut shouldn't.

2. Take a break, from the person, the phone, "the" facebook and "the " google. Get some air, hang out with the screaming baby, or done, but step away from whatever is causing you unneeded pain.

I gave up listening to potty training advice LONG ago

3. Do a self-check. Are you tired, PMSing, pregnant, not pregnant, STRESSED? My husband said I only get emotional when I am really tired, and by the end of that day I do usually end up in tears. 

4. Is this advice so bad that you can find humor in it? (check these out http://www.parents.com/baby/new-parent/motherhood/worst-baby-advice-ever )

This is one I struggle with and thank goodness my husband knows when to put me to bed.

5. Just know that you are probably not the worst parent in the world (though you might be I really don't know) if you are doing what you are doing with love and the solid advice your child's doctor.

Love you!
