Do you keep an open mind when taking parenting advice from others?

Or do you just go with what works best for you? My friend doesn’t want to listen to what anyone says so we never give her any advice or step very lightly when we do. I believe “it takes a village”. I listen to what everyone has to say (esp. my elders who have raised children before me), take from it and learn even though I don’t always agree with everything. I am a better parent for it.
