Because of course he knows so much better than the experts.
Erm, maybe, just maybe (and I'm going out on a limb here), he does, because he actually spends time with his little one, whereas the 'experts' dont.
I have never seen a 'definitive guide' or blueprint about how to raise children. Just a load of egotists trying to impress how much their onions mean more than others.
For the record; I don't have my own kids, no. But I'd wager I've probbly been left to look after more tinies than most folk on here. Apparently I'm 'good with kids'. So many parents have entrusted their precious little bundles unto myself. I've never had any complaints.
In my humble onion (and I concede many folk may want to challenge me here), children are incredibly resilient and tough, and are able to withstand all sorts of adverse social, physical, economic and psychological hardships. Each person's upbringing is unique. Yes, too much negative influence can have a damaging effect, but who is the arbiter of exactly what is 'negative'?
Children all over the World grow up in 'less than perfect' circumstances, according to us in the affluent cosseted West. But they survive, and you know what? Some of then actually do ok. I know! Amazing, is not it???
I'm amused by the attempted slights at Molgrips' abilities as a parent. I feel it inevitably that I will one day meet Molgrips 'in real life' (he may well live in fear of such an eventuality), and just from his presence on this forum, I reckon he's probbly not that bad a parent. Because, like, I read his stuff on here and figure him out to be at least a reasonably intelligent, caring, sensitive and conscientious a Human Being.
Or maybe i've got it all wrong because I jolly well have not read a couple of media articles...
Who knows.
What is the answer?
