Thats a toughie. I had advice for my relatives when they were raising their kids, but i never had my own kids. I couldnt stay in a relationship long enough, basically. So - now that we see how the kids turned out, you can say i wasnt wrong, but i dont think you can say i was right, because i really did not walk a mile in their shoes.

So if this person doesnt follow their own advice, i guess i would ask them why. Maybe that would give both of us more insight into the issue. Like a therapist doesnt give advice, really; they might get you to discuss other options and why or why not?
