hahaha....
some of the people are stupid on here. Makes me worry about their kids. People in general though try to just tell you from their experiences. What worked for me, might be totally insane sounding to someone else. When I ask a question, I usually take the responses and laugh for one, then try to gain just a little bit from it. It is amazing some of the questions/answers you get on here.

No! I wouldn't say it makes you an expert at all. I would say that you live and learn from others though, who have already been through it. If you are asking questions about your child, and people are giving you advise, then it's probably from personal expirence that they've had with their own child at some point.
I got lots of advise from my Mom, Grandma, and Friends who had expirenced things, and now that I've raised my child I feel like an expert! Seems most problems that come about with other friend's child/ren I can answer most of their questions, or give them advise that "I" would do in that situation. Although everyone is different and do things totally differently than others.
So, some advise might not seem like good advice to you, but could to others. Unless of course someone is just being like you said a dill hole, then I most likely wouldn't take their advise on something.

No, I dont think having a child makes you an expert, atleast to everyone that is. I am expert with MY child, not with everyone elses. I can give an opinion or offer advice that I know from personal experience that worked for MY child. If you take my advice, good I hope it works. If you dont take my advice, then why did you ask in the first place? Mothers are experts of their own children and they have the full power to say they are experts! People without children have no right, nor do they have any say on MY child or other peoples children...and hey, that's just my opinion.

NO! We all make mistakes when raising children. I have had so many moms of different ages trying to give me advice and all of them contradict eachother. I say take what you think is good advice that will apply to you and go with your own mother instincts. Every baby is different and every mother is different. As long as the baby is fine and are being raised good and healthy and no abuse, then people shouldn't worry so much and should stop giving advice to new mothers unless they ask for it. No one is an expert in raising kids. Every mother raises their children differently. And that is that.

Does having no appreciation for experience make you any smarter or better than anyone else? Does coming up with a witty question like that make you feel worth more than you are? You must be one of those people that has to make others feel bad about their intentions to make yourself feel better about what you lack...I feel sorry for you that you do not possess the understanding of life that allows you to see that we can all help each other as human beings by sharing our knowledge and pooling our resources as parents to make better children who hopefully don't end up with your attitude problem. Get a life!

no, it doesnt,if we were experts we wouldn't be here would we now? you never know everything, each day is a learning experience and sometimes we have questions that other parents may be able to help with, simply suggestions that may or may not be applied. here is my suggestion for you...go to another board, if you don't like "us dill wholes", for smarter people like yourself. simply a suggestion,not trying to tell you what to do or anything.

No, just experience and can help someone with options about the choices they may want to make as well.
And apparently you are a child yourself if you chose to waste your energy complaining about "dill holes" and having nothing better to do.

I don't think many, if any, people consider themselves an expert on topics (unless they have a PHD in that field, then they could!); I think most people just want to help out others and offer some support. I'm very grateful to those people.

Certainly not some ppl who have kids are still so naive and young that they need help not giving help to other ppl.Some ppl who always throw out advice their kids are not so peachy.I think ppl should just shut up and mind their own business if someone ask for help thats a completely different story.

No, but sometimes the crap people ask on here makes you wonder how they survived into parenthood. Then earlier today some new mom asked about how to keep her 3 1/2 year old busy playing computer games. How sad is that??
