Default Re: Unwanted Advice

This is reminding me of something that happened to me when my guys were little. I had just had my 2nd - he was probably 1 month old and in the car seat/carrier in the cart part of a shopping cart (where you put the groceries) and my older guy (just 1 years old) was sitting in the upper part. In those days it took me an extra hour to go anywhere because so many people would stop to look at the two little guys (older boys blonde curls and big blue eyes didn't help either).

This older woman came up to me and I plastered on the smile over the gritted teeth (just let me SHOP for goodness sake!) and proceeded to tell me that I have to cut my elder boys nails and this is how I should do it etc. etc. My son's nails were fine and I told her that. She started practically yelling that if he scratched the little guy I would be sorry that I hadn't listened to her when I had the chance. I practically ran away from her.
