My family and I went to my brother home for an open house party. So one of my kids, age 15, had a headache. This new mom of one 4-month old child, is going to question me about, "what am I doing about my child's headache" and since it is kind of chilly out she would never let her child leave home without a lite jacket. I told her to shut up, if he wanted a lite jacket he should of put one on, as far as his head hurting he should of thought about it before putting on those loud ass ear phones.
What gives new parents the in site on so many things? This is your first child, yeah maybe you baby sat, so did I, but that does not give you the right to tell people how to raise their children. I have 10 yes ten fucking kids, you have only one, if anything I should be giving you advice, but since we raise our children they way we see fit, I will not.
Just wanted to vent.

hehe...it's funny that you told her to shut up...my sister has 3 kids, I only have 1, she asks me for advice. I dont just throw advice out there.
It aggravates me when people of have whatever number of children try to tell you or hint at you that you are doing something wrong....We all try to be the best mom that we can so let everyone parent their own way!
Good vent, mama!
I have an 8 & 6 yr old and an almost 8 month old. Well My SIL has 2 kids 3 & almost 2 yr old. When I was pregnant with our newest addition my SIL would tell me, do this & try this and don't do that blah, blah blah. I would just look at her like, seriously? I have two kids who are older then yours & they are still alive, I must be doing something right!
Well first off I have to congratulate you. Ten kids...I couldn't. As for the remark by the new mom. She needs to understand there is a difference between opinion and being a smart a**. Whichgoes back to what I always say. Ignorance vs. Stupidity. Over look it. I have 4 kids and I hear new moms trying to tell me things I already know. It's funny really. I overlook it alot.

Yeah, i'm a first time mom to a 1yr old. I have the brains not to tell a mom of 10 how to raise her kids i'm guessing that you know how to do it by now.
As for your son i'd have to agree with you, it was his fault he had a headache.
