If moms with lots of time make healthier choices, I just draw a logical discussion... the moms opting for not selecting very well are those who either don't have time or are lazy. It's just your own words. No need to get defensive. Aren't you comfortable with your choices?[/quote]

Not healthier choices.  More paranoid, controlling and irrational choices. Too busy with your self-righteousness, you have yet to provide a response as to why a musical toy that makes him happy and leads to dancing is detrimental.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you're talking to, but dude, no one is saying that this toy that makes your child happy is detrimental. We all get to choose what toys our children play with in our own homes and some of us don't prefer the battery-powered ones. It's not as big a deal as you're trying to make it. [/quote]

What you choose to have in your home is not a big deal to me.  What is annoying is those folks, like the pp i was responding to, who think that by being contrarian to modern life, they are somehow doing a better job parenting-- and feel the need to spill that attitude out on others.  I'm not being defensive here, I'm just saying that many of us think that type of person is overprotective, paranoid and annoying - not mom of the year.  [/quote][/quote]

So now, because I know my child well and choose carefully toys she'll like better I'm paranoid and annoying? You make no sense at all.

And if you learn to quote the posts properly it will make the discussion flow much much better.[/quote]

You're not choosing what she likes better- you are choosing what you think will better stimulate her creativity.  And imply that plastic and battery toys are some how anti-creative or dangerous.  Are those wood blocks from sustainable wood that has no paint made in China?!  If so, glad you're wealthy enough to buy on etsy.

And as for the quoting comment- maybe it's not the toy thing that makes you annoying- but you are annoying. [/quote]

You must be annoying as shit to your husband[/quote]
