I have completely had it with the attitude that it's fine to interfere with someone's parenting because "I'm doing good".
You don't know. You don't know the kids, you don't know the parents, and you don't know the situation.
I'm tired of the school system calling me or sending notes home with the children that a child in classroom XYZ had pinkeye, strep, chickenpox, the sniffles, or anything else and telling me that if I see symptoms I need to get the child to a doctor. No. Really? You don't say. I never would have guessed that I needed to take a child to the doc with a 102 temp.
I'm tired of hearing absolute BS like "If you drink alcohol openly in the home you're putting your child at risk to be an alcoholic"
I have stepped into other people's parenting. When safety is involved, I will step in in a heartbeat. However, a dad or a kid having a miserable day in the store isn't a safety issue.
I certainly wouldn't (and haven't) post it on the internet to garner an ego stroke from sycophants.
