One thing about #parenting no one prepared me for is the sheer amount of unsolicited advice I get on the street from random strangers. 😬
The One thing about parenting no one prepared me for was children. 🤔
"Perfect parents do exist, but they don't have children yet."
The only useful thing my father ever said to me about parenting was "Hope for the best, expect the worst, see what rolls in"

Top notch stuff.

My favorite is "The goal of parenting is for your kids go to therapy in the future with issues different than yours."
I would like to imagine any sage and pithy wisdom I impart to my children is gleaned from a life long love of folklore, but I secretly know it's mostly just lines from Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films that I've misremembered.
I was a fulltime caregiver when my kids were little and this never happened to me. Have you tried looking like you're one dropped string cheese away from a full-on psychotic break? That was my move.
of all the advice random people have given me, the only two that were helpful were how to cultivate multilingualism and how to use juice box ears so young kids don't squirt themselves.

Health advice was, hands-down, the worst.
oh good grief, yes, I remember this from when my two were small. Everyone has An Opinion, and everyone feels the need to tell you how you’re Doing It Wrong. Used to drive me to distraction.
Today was "you shouldn't brush her hair like that." It was 6am, and the kid had been up since 4. Lady picked a bad time to approach us.
Yikes.

Exactly how far down her throat did you ram that hairbrush?
Word of advice: don't listen to advice of strangers 🙈
