Should people without kids give parenting advice to parents?

[Badtobad]

I think people who don't have kids shouldn't give parents advice because they don't know what it's like in their situation.

[NathanDavis]

I give parents advice all the time... when it comes to education

parenting involves education as well...

and the same goes for many other things, if you're a doctor with no kids, a nutritionist with no kids... and so on

also, there's older siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins... even older friends, involved and experiencing in "parenting"

there are tutors, and guardians, social workers...

just like becoming a biological parent doesn't automatically make you a good capable parent... not being a biological parent excludes you from being able to "parent"

[Badtobad]

You don't know what it's like being in their situation

[Badtobad]

I am talking about when their kids have difficult problems like with abuse or relationship

[NathanDavis]

I never give parents advice about abusive relationships...

[ohsheeT]

I think anybody can give any advice because it doesn't matter who's giving it what matters is if you take it or not it's none of Nobody's Business so it's a choice to hear it out and say thank you and just keep walking LOL but I mean words or words Insight is inside and if you can help somebody help them if not then don't put your energy out there because basically it's how they see it and what they would do if their kids are going through something but it doesn't mean that you have to listen to them

[Bklynbadboy12]

Sure they should just cause they aren't parents doesn't my they can't give good sound parenting advice

[Badtobad]

I disagree they don't know what they are doing

[Bklynbadboy12]

You have parent that dont know how to parent so why can't there be people that aren't parents that know how to parent

[Badtobad]

The parents are in a different position than someone who has no experience with kids

[Bklynbadboy12]

Some people are naturals at it

[Badtobad]

That's ridiculous to me

[Bklynbadboy12]

Just cause that ridiculous to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen you have foster patents the raised professional athletes and the love there foster parents. Just think there are billions of people on this planet and you say none of the people that dont have kids won't be good parents. That's a very blanket statement

[Badtobad]

You are talking about a minority

[Bklynbadboy12]

Its doesn't matter it still happens

[Badtobad]

I certainly wouldn't take any parenting advice from you

[exitseven]

No, they dont have a clue.

[lightbulb27]

Yes feom their viewpoint.

[Badtobad]

I don't think anyone should take advice from you

[lightbulb27]

Why not?

[Badtobad]

Because you are biased, especially with gender

[lightbulb27]

I know people w kids whom say the same. But ok, then dont listen.

[Badtobad]

You don't know how to care for boys

[lightbulb27]

Um… that is a gender biased statement.

In general, im better w girls but I've had boys take a liking to me. How to raise them, depends on individual and that can be beyond my ability if they are too strong.

[Badtobad]

Yeah you are biased

[Paige2006]

No they shouldn't

[Cidknee]

No, unless they are asked.

[MasterKS]

No one need advice from others.

[kinks1951]

Agreed
