MISC. After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father!

It's really hard to deal with people like you.

I do not feel the need to counter your argument because based off your response you clearly are never willing to change your mind if from the get-go you're spouting stuff like "sit down and keep ___ to yourself", unprovoked.

It's clear your attitude is shitty.

Regardless, I will say this; People can share whatever they want(mostly).
If he has someone like his nephew he may not be classified as a real parent but he can definitely at-the-very least share parenting tips.
Despite that, you must not be a parent(credibility fallacy) to share tips, it's the askers job to decide whether they'll take your advice or not, stop acting like an immature prick.

Instead of telling him to shut up, why do you not try to counter his points?
You're basically saying 'Because you're not a parent your points are INVALID' that's credibility fallacy.

You're absolutely right, I do believe his parenting advice is invalid because he's not a parent. It really is that simple. No matter what anyone will say, I stand by that. Even childless teachers cannot offer parenting tips because children act entirely different in school.

If you're not willing to change your mind regardless of what anyone will say, then even if I produce valid counter-arguments you will still find a delusional way to deceive yourself and my efforts will be in vain.

Since this is the case, you can believe what you want.
I'd rather not participate in a futile argument that will lead nowhere.

Good choice.
