[quote=Anonymous]I just want to note there's a difference between giving recommendations ("oh we just went to a great restaurant, you should check it out") and telling people what to do and not to do ("you have to get a nanny, daycare is crap"). I like people who are "in the know" about stuff and will tell me about the great places or resources they found in case I need them (and if I don't need them, I can disregard). I bristle at people who want to tell me what choices to make, who I perceive as trying to validate their own choices by forcing everyone around them to make the same ones. The latter is especially annoying when it comes to parenting because kids and families vary a lot and need different things, and I get very tired of being told I "have" to parent a specific way that may not even make any sense at all for my specific child/family. It's just presumptuous.[/quote]
