DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	My daughter will be travelling out here with my 8 month old genius granddaughter Ava next month, and she wanted to know if I know how to babyproof the house! Now she's telling me that babies need to be on schedules! I wasn't as strict and by the book as she is as a parent. She keeps telling me what the doctors and the psychologists say. Well, I bet Ava will rebel and turn out like her grandma in the end. I suppose my daughter is rebelling against not having had enough structure? Ha! lately she tells me that I was the strictest mom of all her friends.

Look at the way kids act today - - if 'expert' advice was so wonderful, kids wouldn't be killing themselves, each other, and/or their parents. Think about it.

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Yeah! And that's what I told her -- schedules are for the parents! But she went on about psychologists say, this and that. I started to say that I didn't care much for psychologists, but didn't want to get into an argument. Good point about the "expert" advice. I must add that my daughter was rarely if ever sick, and never was hurt. I still don't think she ever experienced any pain (she had an epidural for childbirth).

If a mom gets that expert advice before the other, then she may just feel that she can do something "right" without doing it like clockwork.

My buffoon ways must be disappearing a little because I hardly got any of those looks he used to throw my way. Actually, I think we've both grown up a little.
