Nice to see we're getting some of our angst out.
It is typically a mistake to assume you know about something when you've never actually done it.
Like assuming you can rap because, you know, they're just talking.
Becoming a parent doesn't make a person any smarter. It does make a person a parent. There are things about being a parent that nonparents can't know. The previous statement should not make you feel bad, if it does, you should take a few breaths and try and figure out why it hurts your feelings when someone points out that you can't accumulate comprehensive knowledge about being a ______ if you've never actually been a _______.
That being said, I don't think that nonparent's opinions on child rearing should be automatically discounted. They should only be discounted if they're ridiculous.
