THAT Parent

This CNN article, What teachers really want to tell parents
is a wonderful example of why I will always be THAT parent. You know the type, the one who:

If we give you advice, don't fight it. “
  • always fights advice from people who think they know the child I love and live with better than I do , especially when that advice does not ring true to my experience, observation, or way of living.
Take it, and digest it in the same way you would consider advice from a doctor or lawyer. “
  • doesn't just automatically trust professionals to know what is best for my family.
I have become used to some parents who just don't want to hear anything negative about their child ...”
  • gives her child the benefit of the doubt no matter how bad the situation looks.
