I had a good friend who as a single, childless woman with a social work degree taught parenting classes for a local social services organization to parents struggling with difficult children.  Some years later she adopted a child and moved away and when I caught up with her later found she had her own difficult child on her hands and felt absolutely contrite about the things she had said and suggested while teaching those classes.  I don't blame her as she was only doing her job but she knew she'd not done those parents any favors when she saw things from their side of the fence.
