[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly 00:08.  I mean, Honey Boo Boo's teenage sister just gave birth to a baby so now she's a parent. You'd take her advice over a 35 year old non-parent who has nannied, babysat, and been an aunt for 15 years? [/quote]

THANK YOU!! And also to others who have said the same. I'm childfree but the devoted auntie to 5...my siblings have often asked for my perspective on parenting things because 1) I love the kids too and want the best for them 2) I'm a relatively intelligent human being able to talk on a variety of topics of which I have no first hand experience and 3) people outside the direct line of fire of a situation are sometimes able to see things more clearly than those in the trenches. :mrgreen: [/quote]

at the end of the day, until you are responsible for another human being 24/7 your opinion holds little weight.  As the saying goes, opinions are like assholes...[/quote]

NP here, I am childless but worked in preschool and now do research in the child development field. I post about things that I have a understanding of, whilst I don't have the responsibility of the 24/7 I do have something valid to offer many discussion on this forum.  Assuming that you know all doesn't actually make you a good parent. I came to respect parents at school who asked my opinion even when they knew I myself was not a parent. I have worked with many women who choose to not have their own children after spending all day taking care of other's kids, and they know more about potty training, social/emotional needs, and discipline, than most parents walking through the door.[/quote]

yeah right.  I don't care what you research BIG difference between theory and practice.  [/quote]
