Many times, it does. Exceptions could be made, for example in the case of a young person trying to make me see how kids or youngsters might behave or react to certain parenting issues. (Advice given from a "peer" perspective).

I have no kids,and I try to help,but if you only want parents to answer,you should fraise your questions differently to involve Only Experienced Parents,us "child-less folks" will happily oblige.*+++++*

no, it annoys me when a person with no kids who is in her 20s and like her older brother still has never had a job tells me to raise my son the same way her mom raised her. oh, and I forgot to mention her older sister only worked 8 months of the 6 years we were married before she left me. lack of childhood discipline can make someone fail to become an adult.

It especially annoys me because I don't have any kids :)

sure.....people always try to empathize which is IMPOSSIBLE unless one has 'been there,done that'.....but the most annoying to me, because i am a parent...was ALWAYS the foolish parent that came out the gate always saying ' i will NEVER ,mine will NEVER' ..their's was always right , never do or did wrong....and they always had the most selfish ,stingy, non sharing kids....it was foolish and irresponsible....and all the ones i knew have most definitely REAPED WHAT THEY SOWED....

When it is unsolicited, yes. Sometimes I will post a question on here, and in that case any and all responses are welcome, but I hate it when people I know in my town just say stuff to me. Once I was in the grocery store with my then 1-year-old, the cashier comented on the fact that I hadn't bought formula in a while (it's a pretty small town, everybody knows everybody.) I told her my daughter had been off bottles since just after her birthday. The lady said, "Well that's just MEAN!"
