Krumply:Beth, what do you mean? Like arm chair parenting? Do you mean people that are like, "I can't believe you let them have a bottle at age 2" and then they end up letting their own children have a bottle?
No Paula, more like the people that say, "you say you'll never let your kid have a bottle til their 2yro, I said the same thing and than I changed my mind, YOU will too."
I've become fairly close friends with my old daycare provider, we are the same age, but she has a 12 and 13yro and when ever I comment on things she always says, "I said the same thing when my kids were that age, but I do it now, YOU will too." I can't even give you an example but it happens with every conversation we have about our kids and it's starting to drive me up a way!!! She knows me, but not that well and honestly we really parent differently so I don't know how she thinks I'll be just like her. Sorry....a little more of a vent!
