Tell me you don't hate this:
You're hanging out, doing your thing. Parenting, pregnancy, shopping, whatever. And you hear 'oh I wouldn't do/eat/buy that'
huh?
"That is bad for you"
Um...what?
"Yeah you should not do/eat/buy that."
Seriously people?
I am not trying to offend anyone that thinks they are helping someone out. Not my intention.
But I am offering my own unsolicited advice. And that is "Don't"
Don't try to help anyone. Don't tell pregnant women not to drink coffee (seriously, at the wrong moment you could get it splashed in your face). Don't tell a parent not to give their kid juice or that they need to step outside with their kid during a tantrum...unless you would like said kid sent home with you. Don't tell shoppers what products to buy, whats healthy and whats not, not to shop at wal-mart.
Live YOUR life, not another person's life. You will be 100% better off.
You won't be invasive, intrusive and rude. You will be able to help yourself more when other peoples trivia is not butting into your own life and eventually your actions will change your thoughts.
Which means you will stop being bothered by so many people. Which means you will pay attention to your own life.
So...as Voltaire said...CULTIVATE YOUR GARDEN (not anyone else's)
