When she had her own child she found out her advice didn't work. I think what works for one person, may not work for the next. Great post.

And although no one ever gave me that advice, it was my attitude towards it.

People want to share their experiences and try to help, even when their advice isn't so helpful. Every now and again you will get a good one, one that you might not remember until it is 3am the the baby has been up for the umpteenth time and suddenly that little piece of advice will come to you, you will try it, if it works great, if not, try another.<br /> Sharing ideas and giving advice is how we passed information for years, stories of our past are how the next generation can learn about their future.Bodynsoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841362525044310742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711321409115781419.post-31194712160547821172011-09-23T06:45:47.370-07:002011-09-23T06:45:47.370-07:00Got love advice you don't want or already know...Got love advice you don't want or already know.

Truly, the best piece of advice I've ever heard.<br /><br />When I used to attend La Leche Legaue meeting the leader had a spiel about how not everything we would discuss would work for every body, but to keep an open mind, put everything into your "mental grocery cart", and then go home and sort out and use the pieces that work for you and your family. <br /><br />There is something about having children, from pregnancy forward, that brings out all sorts of unsolicited advice from folks. I'm a private person, so I find total strangers giving me a piece of their mind really uncomfortable. But you are totally right, sometimes it's good advice, and sometimes it's not the right fit for you, shelf it and move on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05200732667657451865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711321409115781419.post-64583514209908224322011-09-22T17:19:52.884-07:002011-09-22T17:19:52.884-07:00Great advice girl!

I also didn't get horror birth stories or random people wanting to touch my belly (although, really, I didn't start to obviously show till I was about 8 months). <br /><br />I got lots of advice about having a kid with a Christmas birthday, though, after she was born Chrismtas morning. I waited and then smiled sweetly and said, "I think we've got this covered. My birthday's December 23. I know all about how to do Christmastime birthdays. We are going to have so much fun."Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711321409115781419.post-30166690736763840062011-09-22T11:59:33.349-07:002011-09-22T11:59:33.349-07:00That is great advise.
