[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good question, OP. In my personal observation, I noticed that folks who tend to be militant about these topics have "militant" personalities in general, or their strong opinions are a function of their life systems and beliefs. For example, my ultra conservative Christian mom was taken aback that was not going to quit my job to become a SAHP to my 2 year old DS. I refuse to engage in the SAHM/WOHM debates and have friends in both categories, but I knew SAH was not for me. And yet, despite my mom's negative views on daycare, my son is thriving.

I have a "live and let live" personality, so I roll my eyes internally when someone espouses an ultra strong opinion on any of these, and move on. Thankfully my friends are mostly in the "whatever works for you" camp, as long as the kids are happy and healthy.

A couple other trigger topics that I've seen on here are:

- Circumcise or not?
- Screen time[/quote]

Oh, screen time is a good one, people can be weird about that. I think maybe the culture of parenting has actually made me weird about it too?

I would have loved a boy but part of me was relieved that I did not have once because I did not want to have to worry about the circumcision decision.[/quote]
