Christ people. I've seen some questions asked on this board that should've been read in a book, magazine, online or taught in new baby parenting classes.
Do these people think the baby is going to pop out with an instruction book or automatically know what to do ?
No wonder why kids die at the hands of their parents, they are dumb!
I know when I got pregnant, I read every book I could get my hands on for my health, the babies health and my husbands as well and took every class we could to prepare.
Please dont have kids if you dont take the time to educate yourself. I mean are you gonna come to yahoo boards when you're kid has a 106 fever and ask should I take them to a dr?>

I have to wonder about these people too. When I was pregnant with my first baby, we took a child birth education class at the hospital where I was going to deliver. My ob/gyn told me about it. I imagine the hospital where I delivered my boys isn't the ONLY one that offers this. It was completely free...as was the breastfeeding class, the First Year of Life class, and the other 10 or 15 classes they offered. Why aren't people's doctors telling them about this??
I also read read read (books, magazines, articles online), asked friends/family members baby questions, etc.
I really don't understand how people can be so...well, DUMB when it comes to babies.
I still say the most ridiculous question I ever answered was several weeks ago. A man was writing becuase his 17 month old daughter had a high-grade fever, was screaming uncontrollably, and had been walking around in circles all day. WTF?? The truly sad thing is that it was a legitimate question.

I agree for the most part. I just wish you hadn't been so harsh. It does drive me crazy when I see things on here and I'm thinking they either don't read at all or they're not even seeing a doctor. A lot of times I think people aren't taking their child to well child check when they ask their questions here too. That said, my sister in law is so stubborn that she will not take advice from anyone nor will she read a book. She insists on learning everything herself the hard way. It really sucks more for her and I wish she would just crack open a parenting book but it's her choice. Despite what would appear to be very poor parenting in both her and many people on here, I still assume most parents are doing the best they can and that's the best they can do. We all fall short somewhere.

People like you with your "better than thou" attitude really make places like this un inviting. Every one is different with different situations. I agree with you, if you are going to have a baby, prepare your self to the best of your means, but remember some have means, education, ability and intelligence, and some do not. What kind of background do you have? I had a wonderful one, yet I still ended up in an uncontrolled situation. Dont be so quick to judge those around you.

I couldn't agree more. I'm 39 weeks preg. and honestly have read every pregnancy book that the 8 libraries in the surrounding areas have to offer. I don't want to have to call my doc everytime my baby looks at me crosseyed! It's part of having children..there will always be certain questions that need to be answered but most of them you can educate yourself with.

While I agree with that statement sometimes new parents need the more personal interaction of web boards to help them through it depends on learning style and time.

they don't know what to do because their nanny isn't home to take care of the baby for them.
