[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, imagine how you feel now that you have one child, compared to how you felt when you had no children. Do you feel different? Do you feel like you know more? Would you take the advice of someone who had no children?[/quote]

NP-- this is not a good analogy. The analogous situation to a parent getting parenting advice from a non-parent would be a parent of more than one kid getting advice *about how to raise multiple kids* from a parent of an only.

I mean I don't think people should be handing out unsolicited advice regardless-- but another parent may have insight into a specific parenting issue (potty training or speech therapy or whatever) regardless of how many kids they have.[/quote]

I agree it’s not exactly the same, but I have 3 completely different (and each challenging in their own way) kids. I’m not taking advice from someone with one easy kid. And frankly, in most cases, one kid is “easy” because you can arrange your house and schedule around their needs.[/quote]

It doesn’t sound like op is giving advice. It sounds like she’s just talking about her child and sucky people are like “just you wait” [/quote]
