"Don't buy your son pink boots, thats a girl color." some rando in the store about the snow boots my happy 5yr old just picked out and is hugging. laughed and told my kid he could pick out a toy now too.

"Don't try so hard. they'll always love the mom more no matter what you do, so take it easy" my dad. yep.

"don't let your kid pick their own food" former friend without kids.

"don't let your kid argue with you, ever" different former friend with kids.
