People are funny in that there are some things they don't mind being helped with and then there are things the refuse to accept help with. For example if your car breaks down and you don't know how to fix it, you've no problem letting someone else fix it for you. If the fan belt is broken and you're trying to replace it but you don't know how to do it you've no problem letting someone else show you how to replace it. You most likely won't be thinking, "Piss off you fan belt Nazi."
Yet if you're parenting style is broken and someone comes along and tries to help you, you'll most likely be agitated and very reluctant to accept that help. For example I know a mum whose parenting style is broken. Visiting her once she was on the verge of tears talking about how her children were overwhelming and stressing her out to the point of a nervous breakdown, and she was thinking about going on anti depressants.
