With reason, you're correct. I just remember posting something on here about how I was excited to take my daughter to see The Hobbit when it came out, and some guy basically accused me of being a bad parent for not reading the book with her instead. AFAICT it's usually the people who have no experience raising kids whatsoever who shout the loudest about how terrible a job other people are doing.
(Personal side-rant: raising kids (properly) is the hardest fucking job you will ever have, period. And that's even when you have a reasonably intelligent and normal kid. You'll be second-guessing and stewing over many decisions you make, when it comes to school, to discipline, just to the way you phrase answers to certain questions. And just when you think you've got it nailed, your kid ages by another year and a whole new set of issues enter the picture. That's why I get annoyed when people without kids get all up in my or other people's shit about it.)
Anyway, we cool? Starbucks at 5, lattes on me?
