Totally true, I'm a teacher and I've had parents try and tell me how to run my class - uh no, if you want to teach get a credential and a clue. (And I run a damn tight ship)

I've also had parents ask me how to parent, which is funny to me since I don't have kids. One story in particular a parent said on the phone, "Well Billy-bob stays up all night on the computer, I just don't know what to do, do you have any ideas?"

My response: "Have you tried taking the computer out of his room?"

Dad:" Wow, that's a good idea."

:rolleyes: :eek:Why don't people need licenses to parent?

I completely agree with you. There are a lot of us teachers posting on here these days. It must be because school is just starting back up. People really DO need licenses to parent.

There was a girl in high school who's mother was always stopping by to bring her lunch. The mother and my mom were sorta friends, and I told my mom that I was so glad she didn't do that because I would have been mortified if I ever saw my mom strolling through the cafeteria to bring me my lunch.
