I think you are right Polka, that it must be passed from mother to daughter, and men don't do it do they.<BR/>Sean, fathers tend not to be defined purely as that when they have kids, but once a woman becomes a mother she is defined primarily as such.No matter what else they do.<BR/>Frank, it's hard not to share your opinions on children I suppose cos it's such a huge part of our lives. But you are right happy mummys make happy babiesMidget Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114529056109093110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-19088530513997933792007-06-18T12:15:00.000+01:002007-06-18T12:15:00.000+01:00It’s absolutely normal that we have strongly defin...It’s absolutely normal that we have strongly defined views and otherwise we wouldn’t have any personality and character…and those traits will be passed to our children. One of my acquaintances is very reserved when it comes to imposing any of her own opinions to others but when it comes to babies - that’s a different story: strong opinion. I would have to agree with you Midget Wrangler - ultimately the time spent with the child would avoid them wasting time and money going trough therapies and dealing with anger “why mommy or daddy wasn’t there for them”.. .. and when it comes to feeding : breast, organic, non processes sure has it’s place if you are concerned about the flawless skin and healthy happy children…Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485299404489750123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-53782613187228870152007-06-18T12:11:00.000+01:002007-06-18T12:11:00.000+01:00I have to say as a male, I do see this happen quit...I have to say as a male, I do see this happen quite a lot although I am lucky that my wife generally just does as she wants and pays no attention to anything other mothers may say. <BR/><BR/>Mothers tbh are there to learn from and so should try to learn from each other. <BR/><BR/>I know in my occupation that I am dealing with a lot of fathers who had newborns in the baby boom of 06/07 some are even blogging here, and I have to say talking to fellow fathers has taught me loads.<BR/><BR/>Now I must go write up my baby post.Shanachiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391428971247556299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-65903548815081848492007-06-18T09:03:00.000+01:002007-06-18T09:03:00.000+01:00Some of us do judge the parenting skills of fellow...Some of us do judge the parenting skills of fellow fathers, just not out loud. Not normally the judgemental type but some people get it so wrong or worse still just don't arse themselves trying at all, that's the only cardinal sin as far as I can see. Even then I'm sure I've been guilty of it on more than my fair share of occasions.bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458929948666472435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-24802013911759390552007-06-18T06:40:00.000+01:002007-06-18T06:40:00.000+01:00I wish I knew.

I bet even Mother Teresa did it!<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's a way to make ourselves feel better over our own lot? Men don't really do it, do they? Maybe that's why they call us things like catty and bitchy.<BR/><BR/>This must be addressed over a bottle or wine (or 10).PolkaDothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760855421957187566noreply@blogger.com
