[quote=Anonymous]How odd. As a parent, I can't imagine why your boss bothers with that - either I want your opinion because clearly you're informed on the topic and I want to hear your thoughts - or I've already made up my mind and I wouldn't open the matter up to debate, but you can't have it both ways.

Anyway, OP could you sort of nod and acknowledge that it's a valid choice even if it's not what you personally would recommend?

Example: boss wants to delay introducing solids until six months, but you know that this increases the chance of allergies. When it's clear MB wants you to agree with her, you nod and say "Oh, yes, that's in line with AAP's recommendations." - it's true, but you haven't lied to say you agree.

Another example: boss wants to keep 3 year old's nap going, even though you can see the kid doesn't need it anymore and MB complains that it's hard to get the kid to sleep at night. You say "Oh yes, preschools include nap time until KG"

You can still be honest about your opinion, but when MB wants validation - cite some other authority. [/quote]
