Why do chicks without kids try to tell people with kids how to raise them?

Question

ok...my kid doesn't throw food across the room and stuff.
I am really just talking about general **** here.
I have a friend who has no kids and no little ones around her. She is constantly telling me that I need to take my son to the doctor and stuff for a runny nose.
People without kids just freak out.

Answer 1

Right? I hear it all the time. And the moms with one child that's 6 weeks old telling another mom how to deal with older kid...that's rich. They don't have a clue and should be made to babysit a group of kids (for free!) everytime they open their big mouths about anything related to kids or parenthood.

Answer 2

I will answer this as truthfully as possible because I was "one of them" and now I am a mother and I understand the difference. Women without kids try and tell you how to raise theirs, because they have read a story or book or heard a good tip or watched Supernanny. They think to themselves: "When I have children, they will never do THAT..." when they see your child act up in public, because they think that people who ARE parents for some reason have never read the same magazine, book, etc. that they have. They think that, when they have children, they are armed with this secret weapon of having perfectly behaved children. Then, they try and let you in on their "little secret" so that you will be eternally grateful. It's only when "us" girls like that have our own 2 year old child screaming and jumping up and down at the restaurant so that the whole place is giving you dirty looks, and you want to leave, but you already ordered, and you are starving, that you realize that you were so, so wrong when you were childless. So, next time a childless woman tells you how to raise YOUR child, just smile and understand that in the end, she will get exactly what's coming to her...

Answer 3

People who don't have kids can see when a kid is disruptive and manipulative and screams for no reason. Parents are so out of it they don't even see the kid. they think it is cute and it is just annoying. Don't take your brat to a restaurant.
Get a baby sitter and keep them in a pen at home.
NO one thinks your brat is cute but you.
Food thrown across a room when your out on a date is so un cool.

Answer 4

Isnt that kinda like writing a book about kids and never having any....wasnt it Dr Phil who did that..if not.some celebrity did, just cant remember who.

If you have never had kids...KEEP MOUTH SHUT.
Babysitting dont count. Not the same, NOT EVEN CLOSE

Answer 5

Because when you don't have kids, it is obvious how to raise them. It is only when you get some kids does the issue become more complicated.

Answer 6

I think it's because they think they're right. It gets on my nerves. I feel that each parent should raise their child however they want to. However, people with no kids themselves will say anything and everything is child abuse. Then try to TELL you how to raise your kid.

I wouldn't listen to anyone who doesn't have kids themselves who try to tell you how to raise yours.

Answer 7

Because they have read some article in some magazine and now they are experts......I am with you....when they start in I just want to smack them upside the head......especailly the ones who look at you like you are the worst parent in the world.

Answer 8

I get the, "I dont have kids, BUT i have nieces and nephews" line all the time before someone without kids offers me advice.

Answer 9

Because they are fu***ing bitches and they have NO idea of how it REALLY feels to have a baby....
They dont realize that we moms are human and we get tired and lazy once in a life time.... and yeah! if a Cookie before dinner will shut him up when your are going crazy with menstrual cramps... so what? why that fuc**ng b**ch has to say anything.
They dont realize that you cannot turn a baby OFF...

Answer 10

Because they don't have children to prove that their idea of how to raise a child is wrong. lol. I don't know, everybody seems to think that they know how to raise your child better than you do.
