You're really still arguing against what no one is saying?

Credibility is not needed for your advice to be valid.

If you choose to ignore good advice because you don't like the experience of the advice giver it's on you. It does not magically make the advice bad.

No it wasn't. You tried to make this the point.

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?


I slept at a Holiday Inn last night. Does that make me qualified to run a hotel?

No one in this thread has said such. Not even close

How do you know it's good advice?

People don't go to single dudes for parenting advice, you wouldn't either

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

Then you guys are just arguing past each other. Everyone seems to be in agreement that most anyone is capable of giving good advice.

So you're finally admitting you aren't arguing against the points we've made in this thread.

Did you sleep there for the last 2 years and have the manager give you part of their managerial duties the whole time?

I hate kids.

Never want them.

I enjoy spending money on myself far too much than to spend like $750K on them over their lifetime.

What do you know about being off track? You're no expert so I refuse to accept your assertion.

Even worse - He’d have to say he worked as someone overseeing the management of a holiday inn for his argument to even compare.

Someone who cared for children surely can give decent advice on how to care for a child. Nobody said someone who WAS a child is an authority.

Regardless, neither are authorities. But one is going to have an okay idea of general childcare, and the other (regular people like Pecker or TH03 or any of us) can use their experiences as customers of hotels (so use their experiences as people living in the world amongst children) to at least be right sometimes.

It isn’t black or white. The original comment was that someone is annoyed when a non parent gives advice and implied that surely they must be wrong. It just isn’t that cut and dry.
