so annoying...

ok, so a girl I know posts all sorts of "dos and don'ts" for your child.  She is single and like 25 maybe?  This annoys me to no end.  Do NOT post articles and advice when you aren't a mom and are no where near it.

ugh, sorry, had to get that out.

    How annoying.  I would probably call her out on it. I might say something like "speaking from experience" or "being a mom myself"

    what in the world? What are the articles about, is there a reason she is so into the subject at hand?

    It's bad enough when you get unwanted info from well meaning people pushing their opinions , even when they ARE moms- without others doing that too! Weird.

    That would annoy me too.

    Everyone (parent or not) always tries to tell me that Charlotte is hungry because she sucks on her hands.  Um, no, she's done that since she was born and it's her comfort thing.  If she was hungry we would ALL know it.

    I can't call her out.  She's the head coach's asst (so keep this on here please) and goes to my church.  A mutual friend asked about other bberry apps for her 8 mo old and she even responded with the same article she posted earlier today.

    Not sure if you can see her profile:

    Annoys me to no end.

    Yep that would annoy me to.  I have a friend who is single and nowhere near having a child who likes to compare my parenting skills with another friend of hers who has a baby 6 months younger exactly than Aubrey. She thinks she is qualified because she is a music teacher in an elementary school.  Believe me, teaching kids is way different than raising your own. 

    I just give her major eye rolls.  You got to love how some people are.

    yep.  Lydia LOVES the phone - even the play ones.  So someone told me about Baby apps on them.  So I downloaded some.  She has an article on her page about how children shouldn't use smartphones under the age of 2.  It's not like I'm sitting there letting her play with it for hours!!! ugh.

    One day when she does have her own she'll learn.  I think all babies love cell phones (and keys) and if it's the only thing that will keep them from fussing you do what you gotta do.  Believe me she'll eat them words.

    I agree, one day she will walk around with feathers hanging out her mouth!

    Jaxon loves the phone too (although our new ones are off limits, for now), and he loved the baby flash cards!  But, like you said, it's not like he sits on the phone all day :)
