Complete strangers have no qualms about doling out child rearing advice. It used to be that I could say, 'I don't understand portuguese," and now I just pretend I don't :).Taarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035109837441136992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307360448382903712.post-1626131862443189262011-04-15T20:54:49.278+10:002011-04-15T20:54:49.278+10:00i'm with Sarah. I don't have kids and i...i'm with Sarah. I don't have kids and i'm not married. people feel the need to give a running commentary on my life as if i'm somehow in need of their advice as a consequence. I'm all for listening to those in my life who've earned the right to be heard...

I just ...It's ok, Jenny, I'm all tough ;)<br /><br />I just had a very 'interesting' convo with my in-laws regarding Christian schools the other day (they strongly believe all Christian parents should send their kids to Christian schools if there is one available). I was reminded of your blog and agree with you that those sorts of comments are not helpful.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307360448382903712.post-78522798506215594762011-04-15T15:23:10.456+10:002011-04-15T15:23:10.456+10:00@ parent twin - if it's helpful for other - go...@ parent twin - if it's helpful for other - go for it. <br /><br />@ Sarah - oh dear!
