Is a difference in parenting styles enough to end a friendship?
that guardianships in wills still need to be signed off on. There are actually states where this does not apply So, when you’re making a will, spend a little extra time to see what the practices are in your individual state. Thank you to the Maryland lawyer who emailed me!I have a question about etiquette when receiving unsolicited parenting advice from friends.
I texted our friends the day after to thank them for their great company and received nothing back. I checked in after a week, and they called me and proceeded to berate our parenting style and suggested we take anger management courses and seek out therapy to correct and prevent the harm we are doing to ourselves and our children.
That seems … like regular parenting to me? No profanity, no name calling, no threats, just … regular. Don’t run into traffic. Make room for others because of the virus. Eat your dinner if you want a cookie. That’s fine, right? Is it possible the other family saw something that we don’t recall? Yes. Am I withholding something and misrepresenting the situation? No.
I guess I’m looking for a script on how to address this without ruining the friendship. Or should we just drop our end of the rope and move forward?I’m going to take this letter at face value and assume you are not, in fact, abusers in need of anger management or parenting classes . Now, I would prepare for them to put in a call to CPS. This is extremely aggravating, but still something to do minor prep for: a decently clean house , a fridge with food in it, kids wearing weather-appropriate clothing. If they couldn’t point to a specific incident, CPS may not care in the least, and if you do get a visit, I have confidence you’ll do just fine.I love my tiny demon child so much, but I’m sick of nursing.
