What kind of parenting data you have there, junior?

Just so I'm following, Roger's argument is that experience is a factor in determining the credibility of advice. Are you arguing that it isn't?

TH03, no offense but I’m not taking parental advice from you no matter how good you think it is.
Just as you wouldn’t take advice from me on how to bag groceries or how to stock shelves.

It's a beautiful thing that's happened here in this thread.

Seriously, I don’t get how some of you people live your lives in such a black or white mindset. That sounds horrible - constantly living in extremes.
Out of curiosity to those opposing .. What about behavioral therapists, child psychiatrists, physicians, teachers, principals, special educators, etc. who may not have children of their own? If your child is out of control at school, are you going to be the parent who refuses to listen to these people purely because they haven’t birthed a child? Or does working with them qualify them? And then where do we draw the line?
Hell, I was a nanny for two children for a year, which came after working in a childcare center for a year. I’m not a parent, nor would I claim to be all-knowing about children, but surely SOME of my observations would be correct, would they not? If not, how many years would your child’s teacher need to teach for you to listen to them? You’ll just continue letting your child cause whatever issue because the teacher isn’t a parent and doesn’t know?

There's quite a bit that most people on this board would throw a fit about, especially re: spanking

You have a cognitive disconnect here and you just can't see it.
Trust is required to accept unchallenged information. No one is saying someone can't be right, it's just they have no credibility to believe them.
More experience, more knowledge = more credibility.

Roger is arguing all kinds of shite that has nothing to do with what the original discussion was centered on. I don't care about credibility or trust. It's irrelevant to the conversation.
1) one doesn't have to be a parent to offer good parenting advice
2) whether or not you take that advice doesn't change the inherent value of said advice

Are probably smart enough to know they'd make terrible parents. Kudos to these people. It's the stupid ones who go out and breed when they don't need to.
