In a story, a young mother becomes angry with the amount
of advice she receives about parenting – from family
members, friends, and strangers. She realizes that the
advice is often contradictory and that it is impossible to
listen to all the advice she receives. However, when her
child cries and she applies a stranger's technique that she
had initially disregarded, she finds that it works. She
thanks the person and later offers him advice of her own,
but she finds that he rejects her opinion.
