I have no reason to exaggerate. If it had not happened as I stated, I wouldn't have posted it. Believe what you want.

Well I know that I [we] have been beating a dead horse here but I'll give it one more shot. << If you take away the "feeling" part, the "suspicious">> Sorry but no can do. I believe that most of us base our beliefs partly on feelings . Maybe it's me but after 6 years of watching mother bath child and never seeing it that way ..Not to say it isn't and/or can't be done in such a manner. Coupled with the obvious self aggrandizement [IMO of course ] I came to my conclusion.....Just as you did yours . <<If you haven't had the experience, I think it's presumptuous to label it>> I beg to differ . I don't believe that it's necessary to actually experience an event in order to have a strong opinion as to it's validity..This would certainly limit all of our opinions would it not? <One of the most annoying things about some childless people (not meaning you)is their smug assumption that they know best how to raise kids>> I for one find it annoying when anybody tries to tell others smugly [ or otherwise ] how best to raise their kids....or do anything of a personal nature for that matter. One of the most annoying things about some couples with children [ not meaning you ] is the smug assumption that those with out children are some how not entitled to an opinion as to how children aught be raised. Or that their opinion no matter how well supported is some how not relevant..... After all most so called experts on the raising of children do not base their "expert" advice on personal experience but on careful observation and intellectual analysis of their observations. <<Once you're a parent, you realize no one knows much of anything and nothing is certain. >> ..... One doesn't need to be a parent to realize this.. about life in general I might add .Yet we continue to go through life forming strong opinions and voicing them.
