It *is* okay to tell people how to raise their children, amirite?

When someone is doing something that risks the health and safety of the child it is absolutely not wrong to call it out.

They say the truth hurts at the end of the day, they do a better job at raising their kids... Their responsibility

Nope. If youre doing something stupid/harmful you deserved to be judged. Judgement is what motivates change.

No children, obsessed with telling others how to raise their children. Goes nuclear when you ask if she/he is sure about not wanting children.

And if you think the kid is being harmed, it is your responsibility to report it. Don't give the benefit of a doubt.

Eh, I'm an advocate of mind your own business unless asked or the child/children are actually in harm's way.

So, are you just interpreting words using your own definitions?

Yeah I think we can all agree that if a child is getting hit, that's bad. Why waste your breath telling that parent anything just call the cops?? As for "not engaging" or "not paying attention" those are literally things that a village is supposed to help with. If you aren't willing to help a parent engage and watch their child, you aren't part of their village and you need to mind your own business.

Theres a difference between helping and telling. Helping would be " Oh hey ya know I've been having my kid eat it * lists random healthy food* it can really get your kid in peak shape" to a visibly fat kid. Telling would be " Man I'm so sorry your kid is so overweight get that boy on a diet". Its rude unnecessary and stressful.

No, unless children are being abused and at that point you need to intervene by notifying safeguarding services

You want to lend a hand, be part of the village go for it. You want to have an opinion? Stfu.

To a point I agree.

People act like their children are their personal property and not human beings that will grow up and need to be part of society.

Although I don't necessarily disagree with you, good luck with that. If you do this consistently, you"re not going to have any friends left.

Parents who are confident about their abilities don't come unglued when someone offers a suggestion or criticism. If a parent is that unsure of themselves they probably could use the advice however they're probably the least likely to take it

I suppose this entirely depends upon your relationship with the parent and the child. If you didn't have skin in the game, stfu.

Dam all the abusers are showing up for this one.

by Anonymous 4 days ago

It's incredible how you assume that your overreach isn't also a potential abuse. Guess you're just the greatest and everyone else needs to find out, eh?

by Tristonblanda 4 days ago

If you know the family sure, if they're strangers stfu and mind your business.

If you make your kid run barefoot over broken glass, I'm going to have some choice words. If you tell them no desert until after dinner, well, that's your prerogative. See the difference.
