Okay so this me! Does anyone else find it really difficult to share or suggest alternative ways of doing things when you aren't actually a 'parent' yet? I always have thoughts around how I would handle things with my own children but it's hard to share those when they are just thoughts because you have never done it before, you feel like you don't have the right to? Like you're being judgemental!

Yes I do! And I do say it to my partner. Sometimes he’s very defensive, other times he agrees. He does sometimes say he thinks my mind will change when I have kids.
i think it’s easier to see things as an outsider so you’re quick to comment but actually in reality would you do the same when you had kids?
eg when Im with my partner and he gives SD dessert - usually some portioned sweets and chocolate, I’m thinking she shouldn’t be having that much sugar as she gets a lot of treats anyway (She’s spoilt by grandparents) but when I took Her out the other week I was happy to give those treats to her! So maybe it’s almost a resentment thing?
