What was the last piece of parenting advice (in person/online/etc.) that you completely and totally ignored (for better or worse)?

Strange, but people don’t tend to offer me unsolicited parenting advice (even before I wrote my book), so I’ve never had to ignore any really. I guess I just have a face that says, “I don’t fucking care what you have to say.”

What do you think about trans-parenting ? I mean, im a 24 transgender and i really want to have a child one day, but i don't know how and when i will tell him about it, i don't want him to tell every one else around because i don't want people to laugh at

I’m certainly no expert (see @trans-parenting for better input than I could offer), but I always lean toward honesty. You don’t have to get too far into the weeds, but be honest with your child from the get-go about it. You’ll arm them with knowledge and experience to better navigate this issue and the world in general.

How to I talk to my 3 yr old adopted son about the death of my paternal grandfather? My son only met him a few times FWIW.

If he’s already aware of the death, I’d say, rather than telling him something, start by asking him something. Let him guide the conversation. You may find he’ll be curious or concerned about things you aren’t thinking of.

If you’re breaking the news to him, though, do that gently (and keep it simple), then see above.
