I try to not ever ';tell'; someone to do something. It's their life after all isn't it? But if they are asking me, I'll offer suggestions. But everything is said with a great deal of love and caring. It's up to the to decide if that works for them or not.How do others respond to YOUR suggestions and advice?
It depends on my answer. For example if I tell a kid to do their own homework it is a mixed reaction. If I give a smart backside answer then I usually get no response.
