I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have this blanket thing about giving parenting advice to parents, and that's: 'Don't take other people's advice on parenting.'
I'm not accustomed to giving advice to those who haven't asked for it.
Everybody says, 'When you have kids, you really get away from yourself.' But really, it's the most selfish thing I've ever done. It's like, Okay, I'm going to create unconditional love for myself, and I'm going to need it and want it and ask for it every day, and I'm going to get it.
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.
I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I've learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
It's the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help.
I never help my kids and I never encourage them and I never give them any advice.
Kids, don't be too big to accept advice.
