"Can't you just sleep when the baby sleeps?": The Worst, Out-of-Touch Parenting Tips That Moms and Dads Are Tired of Hearing from Childless Friends

It is an annoying fact of life that the self-proclaimed "cool aunts" of the world, whose experience with children is limited to occasional bouts of babysitting by watching Netflix while the kids nap, are the ones that think they have the whole parenting thing figured out. Not only that – it's like they'll implode if they don't constantly chide you with unsolicited advice on how to raise your own kids. Their parenting tips are a mixture of how they imagine they would parent a hypothetical perfect baby and old ages-old advice that maybe worked in the 70s. 

If you havent't gotten enough completely useless advice from your child-free friends in real life or random strangers on public transportation, scroll down for even more completely useless tips. Sure, you won't learn anything new or helpful, but you'll be undoubtedly entertained by the absolute gall of some people. How could they be so wrong with so much confidence?
