I have only been a member of Yahoo Answers for about 8 months, but I have noticed how many people take parenting choices that other parents make, and determine that those choices make them a bad parent. This is something I have never come across, until I came upon Y!A. I have had other parents call me a bad mom or stepmom simply because they don’t happen to agree with me on certain things. I have also seen it said to other parents. A parent says they spank their kid: their a bad parent. They leave their kid in daycare: their a bad parent. They don’t get along with their stepkids: its their fault and their a bad parent. Where is it said that just because another parent doesn’t share your views on parenting, that they bad parents? Or that you are better than them? There are 1000’s of different views on parenting, and just because someones are not the same as yours, doesn’t make them a bad parent, it simply means they don’t share your views. Why do some parents think they are experts?
I don’t mean the people who give advice that is not what the asker was hoping to hear or people who happen to disagree with the asker. I mean the people who take the fact that they happen to disagree with the things that another parent says, and then instead of giving helpful, even if it disagrees with the other parent, advice, they start insulting the other parent: calling them a bad parent, telling they don’t deserve to have kids, calling them names, making unfair and in-accurate assumptions about them. How can it be, that just because another parent doesn’t share your parenting views, that makes them an over all bad parent and you a much better parent?

Everything we buy now days comes with a manuel! Even simple things are explaned in these manuels. but the most important job in the world, being a parent, has no manuel! The hospital tells you how to feed your baby, how to bathe it and that’s all! No one tells you the simple little things that some people take for common sence!There are some really stupid people that have babies!How bout the couple near me that left and went to the movies while their baby was at home because their baby slept through the night! What the *bleep* were they thinking!Another couple made their son sleep in the tub because he wet the bed!Who here thinks that someone should write a parenting manuel for everyone to take home from the hospital?What about a manditory class for first time parents, they would have to take it before they leave the hospital, or in the case of a home birth, before the delivery?Should everyone be a licensed parent?You have to have a license to drive a car, but any dummy can have a baby
Ok, then explain why people do stupid Stuff to their kids ie, putting them in the microwave, taking them outiside in nothing but a diaper when there is snow on the ground?
no, i can’t spell, it’s five in the morning and I’m really tired! But thanks for pointing that out!
