What is the worst/stupiest advice someone has given you?

What is the worst or dumbest advice some one has given you on pregnancy or parenting? Or what is the stupidest thing you have ever heard when it comes to pregnancy and parenting?What is the worst/stupiest advice someone has given you?
My mother n law told me not to listen to the Dr's because they are all in to kill all of us!! She hates that i do everything that my kids Dr's tell me to do.. Even when my 2nd child was premature(10 weeks early) she told me that when he got home that he didn't need to be on any meds and demanded that i took him off them!!





And my sister n law tried to give me parenting advice when shes beats her kids and is about to get them taken away from her!!








My n-laws are CRAZY!! lolWhat is the worst/stupiest advice someone has given you?
When my son was being treated for his club foot and we were having issues with the casts on his foot causing blistering and bruising of the skin, so the casts had to be removed because he was screaming inconsolably and it was horrible! My soon to be SIL who is a total bltch, told me to leave the casts on and let him scream and to get myself a good set of earplugs. I told her she was a cold person and to please NEVER have children. It's always funny when a person that has no children gives parenting advice, obviously she could not fathom what it was like to see your one month old child in that kind of pain, heartbreaking. I cried with him alot of the time because it caused me such grief to see my little Caleb like that, and then I took the friggen casts off, got a second opinion and found out his sensitive skin was allergic to the casting and it would have to be dealt with when he was a little older and could have pain medication to get through it. Thank God I didn't let him suffer like the wicked witch told me to let him do.
Well i have a friend who has 1 child that is 9 months old whereas i have 3 children...She tries to tell me what having a young child in school is like, how i should wean my 8 mth old, what bottles %26amp; sippy cups to use, how to set a routine...It's like she forgets i have already done all of this twice before and this is my 3rd so if anything i should be the 1 giving her advice...she really gets on my nerves!!





I also was told on P%26amp;P by a bunch of women that i should refuse to give my then 4 mth old a bottle of formula and make him latch onto me instead...even though he refused to latch and i had barely any milk they insisted that i should pretty much starve him of his formula and when he get's hungry enough he will take the boob....
i havent gotten any bad advise thankfully but one thing that just kind of got on my nerves was when i was in between looking fat and looking preggers i was saying to my mother in law that i felt fat and didnt have alot of self confidence, and she was like ';it shouldnt matter what you think about yourself as long as you are keeping the baby healthy';...she was right in a way but it didnt really help me feel any better...lol
My son is adopted and came home as an infant from the hospital with us. I had people actually tell me ';well, now you'll get pregnant with one of your own';. I was not just angry over the statement as my child is MY child, but also shocked at their stupidity. I know what causes pregnancy- adoption has absolutely nothing to do with it.
That I better start my exclusively breast fed son on formula NOW so that it wouldn't be a shock for him if we had an emergency come up. I almost died laughing. It was like she thought it was totally necessary for him to know what it tasted like before he HAD to. I formula fed my first son except for the first 4 weeks, and I am so thrilled my second son is working out so well with nursing, I couldn't imagine throwing a monkey wrench into things now!
Almost any dvise is worthless if u dont see it urself it really depends on what it is.





I remember one time my son pooped %26amp; he accedently stuck his foot in it when i changed him %26amp; i took them off in the mall. I went to pay a bill %26amp; this old lady was like ';where is ur socks little man'; %26amp; i was having a bad day It was rather hot So i turn %26amp; told her if she would like to buy a pair i would happily put them on him
My friend's MIL insisted she would miscarry if she didn't wear socks.





When I told a friend she would have to smoke outside and explained that I had quit during pregnancy and stayed smoke free for the health of my son, she told me I should start again. Can anyone guess what I told her she should do?
My sil told me to just get a c-section, it's way easier than giving birth! Even though she admits that they nicked her bladder and she's had problems ever since. Also that I have to take my son to the doctor every few weeks even though he is perfectly healthy. Some people just don't seem to have a brain.
Just little things hear and there like people trying to tell you what to eat and stuff like that. I respect the fact that people are just trying to be friendly and help, but usually it's just unneeded and goes in one ear and out the other
some old lady told me that if I keep my baby's sex a secret, i will be cursed to poo on the delivery table! I was in such shock that all i could do was laugh. I mean, who says that??? lol
almost every response on this forum ..I come here to entertain myself since jerry springer geniuses are no longer on tv ..they are all here
