How Do You Handle Unsolicited Advice From Family?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Oh yeah, and that goes same for the unsolicited advice. Let it go one in ear and out the other, say thanks, and then do what you want anyway.

What if the unsolicited advice is good? It is known to happen from time to time.

then take it and really mean the "thanks"

I tell them thank you for your input and I'll be sure to give it the consideration that it deserves. Many times, the input deserves little or no consideration, but I don't have to tell them that.

That's often the worst...cos it is usually something you don't want to hear

I think the best advice to handle advice is not to give an advice.

Does it happen often?

Have you ever had to put your foot down?

The same way I deal with it at on these very web sites I frequent.....if it applies, I accept with graciousness and try to learn from it. If it's a load of #######, I usually argue, fuss, cuss, and eventually walk away shaking my head and muttering under my breath.

No matter how you handle unsolicited advice from your family, you should always remember to be nice

Your avatar makes me want to be naughty.

...many times, the unsolicited advice is condescending, no matter how good the intention behind it, especially when it comes from an elder family member.

I'm just blunt but that's how my family is. If we don't want to hear what they think or their advice we just say I don't care or I don't want to know or even I'm not even listening to you. It works just fine for us. No one ever has their feelings hurt. sometimes I even say f-off lol
