[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 339136, member: 3444"] I also have a hard time accepting advice about my kids from someone who has none. Or has only dealt with them professionally for a shorter time than I've been a parent. Both our elementary school psychologists were like that. Fresh out of grad school. Newlywed. No kids. And they thought they knew everything! Honey, come talk to me when you've squeezed a kid of your own out and got a dozen years or so under your belt. :p And that's no slight meant for adoptive parents at all. My point being that you cannot realistically counsel someone on something for which you've got absolutely zero real life experience. That's all. [/QUOTE]
