They believe that their situation is somehow totally special and different then others. Therefore somebody else wouldn’t have a clue about the things going on in their lives.

Because people are not like what they use to be. A friend, neighbor, or older with no relative could give a parent advice and they would take heed. These days parents think they too good to receive advice and dare someone to correct them. Well I am not one of those parents, I can use all the advice I can get it…it’s not easy being a single parent, and their father is against me every step of the way…there is no blueprint to being a perfect parent

It depends on if your opinion was asked for. If you are just trying to give advice that isn’t wanted then I could understand a parent getting upset.
If they asked your opinion but didn’t like your answer then they need to get over it. People shouldn’t expect to hear what they want to hear instead of an honest opinion.

Unless I come right out and ask for advice, I simply don’t think it is anyone else’s place to tell me how to raise my child. Furthermore, no one is in a position to ‘judge’ another parent and offer feedback without sufficient knowledge and experience of her role and her family.

Unless what my kid is doing is directly affecting you or your family in some way, what my family does is none of your business.

Most people don’t care if you have an opinion. They just don’t need to hear what you have to say. Unless someone specifically asks you for your opinion, keep it to yourself. You will have more friends.

Many people are very sensitive to criticism, *especially* when it involves parenting. If you make mistakes as a parent, you will be thrust under the scrutiny of every bystander and quickly charged as guilty…

some people just like their own way of doing things and they don’t think that they need anyone elses opinion on how to raise their children but you can’t just push your believes on someone else because not everyone thinks the same.

Do you have children yourself? I wouldn’t be too happy if some one had and ‘opinion’ on how to raise MY child. If i wanted advise i would ask some one who i thought would help.

Mainly because their parenting choices are none of your business.
All the best.
