If you are a parent, or an experienced child-care provider that is one thing to share your opinion. You have something to offer. I'm just trying to get a truthful answer, not some silly comment. If you are not a parent, is your answer based on your observations? What is your purpose for answering a parenting question? Is it for research purposes?

I appreciate the honest answers given. I was simply curious-that's all. Just because I have driven a car for 17 years does not make me feel qualified to answer mechanical questions. Again, thank you to those who answered my question without being a smart-alec.

I'll admit I'm not a parent, but I answer these questions based on my observations, how I would have wanted to be treated when I was younger by my parents, and how I plan to raise my children when I do have them.

Well I'm 15 and work at a daycare. I have been to loads of child development classes, probably more than most parents. I honestly hope I'm helping the person when I am answering. When your getting on the Internet asking for other peoples advice you are going to get every bodies opinion, not an expert or maybe not even a parent. Its the Internet, if you want a professional opinion, than find one.

well many times children answer these questions because they have more experience from what the parents tell to do than the parents realize. also if a grandparent was to answer a question would criticize the parent. If they did don't pay them any attention because they only reason that they do that is because they did they same thing and now they feel that you should listen to them only because it is the second time around with grandkids

Many parenting experts do not have children of their own.
While the parenting experience is a great teacher, one can also know about parenting without having raised a child.

i'm from a very large family - my mother has 10 brothers and sisters, i have tons of cousins, i've known my great-grandparents on both sides. i'm fortunate to have seen many parents in action. IF - emphasis on IF - i answer a parenting question, it's based on what i've seen growing up and now as an adult. if you don't like the fact that i don't have children of my own (yet), simply ignore my answer.

I am not a parent, but i can give advice based on the fact i was once a child (I'm not anymore) with parents (who were terrible and ended up losing their parental rights). I can say now as an adult how things worked or didn't work with me.

I know lots of people who respond with how they "think" they would behave if they were a parent. You know, the "If that were my child..."
It is far easier to opine from afar than to actually walk a mile in a parents shoes. (I am a parent, I have a teenager and a toddler...)
