How would you feel?

If some random stranger came up to you and told you that something you were doing with your child was wrong. Like if you sat your child in the the front of a kart at Walmart (for example) and someone told you that was dangerous and they could hurt themselves etc. Or, they are throwing a fit over some candy and to get them to calm down you buy them the candy and someone tells you you should stand your grounds and not let him frustrate you onto buying the candy. I'm sure you get the point.

Would you consider it as helpful advice? Would you find it as rude and tell them to mind their own business? Would you find it rude but not say anything? Etc.

I would say "I will parent my child as I see fit. Thank you for your concern. Have a lovely day"

i would ignore them
strangers dont know me or my kid and for them to give random advice and tell me im wrong wouldnt make me happy

Well if it's legit advice like the putting the carseat on the shopping cart thing or anything that is dangerous, then I would take that advice and research more into it...but other than that I'd just nod my head and smile.

I would prob just ignore them

That is def rude and I would of said" I beg you pardon, am I asking you to pay for it? Or asking you for any advice? Please keep your comments to yourself. Thank you! I hate nosey people like that. Please tell us you said something.

I'd tell them to mind their own beeswax.

Good one.

I would of told them to smurf off lmao jk

I'd just say thanks for the advice and go on my way. No need to get angry over something so small.

Is not being angry is telling them to mind their buisness.

I'd say (and have said) last I checked I'm her mom, not you. But thank you for your concern

I still wouldn't say anything. I'm sure they don't care.

If it was a safety thing I would look into it and say either 'I got this.' if it was incorrect, or 'oh ok, gotcha' and shrug it off if it could bear some meaning. If it was about anything other than safety, I would tell them 'I got this' and give them a dirty look til they turned away. Of course, I have never been in that situation IRL so that is what I think I would do. I had a friend tell me several things and that doesn't bother me like I understand it would to some. Of course, she is different than a stranger.

I would ignore. A guy in a store tried telling me once something about my son sitting in the basket of the cart. He was sitting. I just ignored him and kept walking. Pusses him off even more.
