[quote=Anonymous]My (unmarried, no kids, no experience with kids) SIL does this too. It drives me bananas. It's quite irritating, to be honest - it's all these small things, like telling child when to stop or to slow down or to hold hands in situations where those instructions aren't needed - I think she does it b/c she has a need to feel like she knows everything- like "parenting is so easy and u'm already better than my sil b/c i'm making my 4 year old nephew hold my hand at the playground until he gets all the way to the climbing structure. i can't believe his stupid mother doesn't understand the dangers of the playground."

full disclosure - i once did something similar - my husband's cousin was letting their 1 year old play at the top of a semi-circular staircase that was 40 stairs high - she thought it was totally fine and that the kid could get up and down as she needed to, but me (a non-parent at the time) thought i knew better and told her she should watch her daughter more closely, or take her all the way down. to her credit, she didn/t slug me :)[/quote]
