Your experiences, good or bad?
Is it worth it?
Or just nod your head and say what do you think, or want to do?

My experience has been to point out what you see or would do, and then let them decide. Whatever their decision it is theirs! Even then it will become your decision if negative results to them. 🤔

If they ASK for my opinion or advise, I'll speak up. If there's a safety issue involved, I'll speak up. Otherwise, I'll try to keep quiet.
 
Once I was young, and tried (mostly without success) to show others a better way to do things. Strangely my concern was rarely appreciated. Then I discovered I did not know everything. I sat on my hands, listened, obseved and learned.

Sharing my knowledge (slowly coaching, allowing them to make non-fatal errors along the way) with my children was exhausting but worthwhile for thier sake.

Now I am too tired, and just laugh (snicker) unless it could injure me or mine.
