Pushy Teachers - Parents Push Back
In the above article, Nicholl, author of When Mothers Cry, noticed that there are some educators that are just as bad as controlling family members. The kind of teachers that just don't want to take, "No" for an answer. When you come across teachers like this, treat them like you do some of those relatives you don't like, distance yourself. Sure, your child has to deal with them, but you don't have to. Cut off time and money and if your child complains about the teacher wronging them, it's time to see his or her boss and other school officials.

On Being Kind to the Child-free
With so much fuss about your own children, sometimes parents can act like everyone is a parent especially if they see an overweight man or woman near a child. Comments like, "These kids nowadays...You know how children can be...So how many children do you have?" can be off-putting with some child-free men and women. Assuming everyone can related to one's parenting situation is often done, and it can also lead to unnecessary confusion especially when you mistakenly ask the opinion of someone who has never had children while they attempt to answer it.
Child-free adults either made their choice to remain child-less or it was made for them due to health issues. But whatever the issue as to why they don't have children, it should have little to do with us and we should avoid the temptation to encourage or discourage raising children. It is difficult enough to parent children, so why bother to ponder "the why" with someone who remains child-free?
Being understanding and kind toward those with no children is important when they are in our circles, sitting at our dinner tables, or seated next to us at events. It is always better to have a conversation that both can relate to rather than one that doesn't suit someone's lifestyle. It also doesn't make much sense to insult either child-free or a parent, because neither knows when they might be beneficial to one another.
There are pros and cons when it comes to being a parent and positives and negatives when one doesn't have children. Most of us have been on both sides and sometimes we wish to go back to the child-free days. Yet, we can't, so we keep on living, teaching, and growing and hopefully when the days finally come that we are free from child-rearing, we will appreciate that lifestyle a little more than we had in the past.
