Now that they're growing up on us..

Are people still offering you a lot of unsolicited advice?
What's the latest?
What really irks you?
Personal questions still being asked of you?
Which piece of annoying advice do you find yourself offering to other mothers?

Are people still offering you a lot of unsolicited advice? Yes.
What's the latest? My mom and grandma are adamant that I shouldn't ever feed Maggie sushi.
What really irks you? The only one that really irks me is my MIL. Not because she has bad advice, just because she has bad timing with it. She gives it to us AFTER a given issue has been dealt with.
Personal questions still being asked of you? I guess the most personal question I'm getting now is "when are you going to give me another grandchild...you guessed it...from MIL.
Which piece of annoying advice do you find yourself offering to other mothers? I'm guessing most of the advice I give to most people starts to get annoying pretty quickly. IRL I try to limit it to recommendations on products that others may find handy. I do know that I don't just give advice when it isn't asked for. I do know my place.

The only annoying advice I kept getting was from my mom to change Juliana's carseat to FF. I had to send her some videos and links to finally shut her up. Or at least pipe her down.

Ditto. I absolutely hate her telling me to turn her around
