I think it's funny how entitled people have to be to tell other people how to parent. I've seen backseat parenting before, I've been a victim of it. In response to giving a shwoozle (a raspberry on a baby's stomach) at a Safeway, I had a woman tell me I had no business teaching the sweet baby that was acceptable public behavior. I had a sudden urge to beat this meddling twit with a Swanson's frozen dinner. I wasn't going to raise a conservative prude, and this woman had no right to criticize my parenting.
If you want to raise a kid, make one or adopt one. Unless a parent is actually hurting their child, breaking the law, you're overstepping your bounds by offering unsolicited advice or meddling.
