Rant time.
One of my least favorite things is when someone who has been a parent for a whole 5 minutes thinks they know EVERYTHING. Oh so disturbing. THAT is when it's hard to bite my tongue. The only thing that keeps me quiet is knowing I was there at one point, too. I was young, close-minded, had VERY little experience in parenthood. I am sure I thought I knew it all. I was judgmental of other parents, on things I had ZERO knowledge about. Looking back, I feel stupid even knowing how I thought, but luckily, experience (and having a second child) has opened my eyes and I couldnt be more understanding of other parents & kids as I am now.
But I hate when people are idiots about things. Its tough to deal with. Especially when its obvious they barely know what to do with their own kid, but they have such an opinion on everyone else's. Yea, good one.
Anyway, just wanted to get it off my chest. :) People are ignorant, and it sucks.

Woo-sah!!! I can so relate! I guess I've blocked out my newbie mom stage...LOL...but I work with a guy who's wife is 6 weeks pregnant and he's become the child-rearing expert overnight on anything and everything child-related. Trying to be patient...really, I am...LOL
