Re: PARENTS: What do you wish people who do not have children understood?
Was there? I opened up one about married people in Life1. This is about parents.

If I think about it I think I dont see/meet a lot of people who do not have kids of their own.Actually I was the one without kids for a long time amongst everyone with kids...
And I don't think I care a lot what people I don't know think about me or my kid.We are great...!!
:D
Re: PARENTS: What do you wish people who do not have children understood?
What i'd like to ask Parents...why do you not tell your kids off when they are jumping with shoes on over people furniture at dawaats?
We had like 5 kids over, they would run out one door, around the side garden, and in again from the front door, slamming the doors behind them. And their mothers said nothing. I don't have children so i can't understand this.

On parenting: just cuz u have 10 neices and nephwes and have been babysitting since u were 2, doesnt mean u know what thw real deal is like.
One will never know until they themselves become parents. So think twice before telling a parent how to handle their child. (im talking bout developmental stuff like sleeping, eating, walking etc)
It irks me beyond belief whenever we have to hear froma certain childless couple how we r spoiling midget cuz we havent taught him to sleep whenever wherever however. arrrghhh...feel like strangling them!
Child: it is a messy thing.... Let it be. If u cant bear the thought of having toys thrown about a bit, plz dont invite us over.
Again, im not talking bout thriwing food around or being messy like that, cuz even i cant live woth that..... But a child likes to move from one toy to anoer before coming back to the original toy...dont start to clean up IN THE MIDDLE of childs play. U will just frustrate ureself.
And one very big one....do not compare children. Especially that of a first time parent. They are confused enough as it is, dont need u to add to it.
Re: PARENTS: What do you wish people who do not have children understood?
I never cared in the past , do not care now and will not care in the future. They are my kids , I know them better you can never understand them or why I have certain parenting style.
Leave me and them alone and keep your nose out of my parenting business.

^exactly
Re: PARENTS: What do you wish people who do not have children understood?
I don’t think any parent will ever admit their kid does this. 
Re: PARENTS: What do you wish people who do not have children understood?
Every parent love their children and and they do best for their children so stop being judgmental.
