Dear Daddies - Don't Let Them

"I bet you wonder why I called you over here,  but I was just telling your girlfriend, my daughter, something I wanted you to hear."  
 
My future son-in-law stood so tall I barely wanted to crane up to talk. I looked at the floor. It was easier to say the next thing that way, anyway.
 
"She was suggesting we put the boys in daycare for our convenience and their adventures as preschoolers. While I appreciate her good will I don't think that it's right for anyone to give out parenting advice unless asked for it. All the moreso if you don't have kids, but even if you do and you are older, don't." I was finished lecturing. That was all I had to say.
 
I'm a ridiculously passive pleaser for the most part. The momma bear is the paradox in my personality. It's so strong it's almost masculine.
 
Don't please others about your kids unless they are in danger if you don't. That's because some days parenting is harder than dying. No one should give you any extra reasons to throw in the towel.
