'I suppose I am a fool, since I didn’t take her suggestion- though I can’t say it wasn’t tempting during some nights of teething agony.'
When I became pregnant with my first child, I was desperate for advice on how to be a good mother. I read tons of parenting blogs and readas if it were the Bible. My need for guidance must have been evident on my face, because family, friends and strangers alike came out of the woodwork to share their unsolicited parenting advice with me.
Suffice to say, I’ve received a lot of advice on how to parent over the past seven years and three kids. Some of it — like hide yourself some nice chocolate somewhere the kids will never think to look — has been excellent and lifesaving. Other bits of advice? Not so much.Everyone gives this advice. Even my friends who don’t have kids gave me this advice. It’s the oldest one in the book. It’s also utter rubbish.
The truth is, moms are always going to get unsolicited advice on how we should parent. Whether it’s age old adages like “sleep when the baby sleeps” or overconfident advice from childless peers, the most important thing to remember is that you don’t need to take anyone’s advice too seriously . You get to decide what works best for your family, and you’re not failing by not following everyone else’s “rules.
