Would love to know what it is about my face that inspires confidence in first time moms to share their concerns about how I raise my children.

The latest incident is too long to describe but one of the more ridiculous ones is when a young mom confronted me about feeding my children popcorn.

When I was a single Dad with a baby I got this a lot. Thus I learned never to STFU unless it was to actually offer help and sympathy, never advice.

"Never to STFU"?

Oh that is rough, I can see how some people may feel particularly emboldened to make parenting comments to a dad. I’m sure in those cases it was embarrassing for the person giving the “advice”. I totally agree with you on the help and sympathy part. Parenting is humbling!
