I am in my mid-30s, married, and not a parent—but I have regularly been around other people’s babies, toddlers, and kids for the past 10-15 years. If I’ve only learned two things about parenting it’s this: Don’t tell people how to parent. And toddlers are awful.

M’s parents didn’t react, but they asked my wife to pick up the pieces! My brother then fixed the deck to ensure he would get the best cards so he could win the game. I just don’t know how to bring it up. Parents don’t like criticism about their kids, and they REALLY don’t like it when it comes from childless people.
