I'm not happy! I recently wrote advice on babies and solids and, though I had positive feedback, my advice has been reported. Here's the report.....

"I find it very rude that this member has said that i dont know anything cos im not a parent yet. I really dont appreciate being told my advice isnt useful just beacsue im not a parent yet.Ive had alot of experience with kids so i think i do have some knowlege on parenting. I was only telling Cass that boiled meat is good for babies at 8mnths, thats what i did for my neices and they were fine and took it well."

This person has said that I said she knows nothing because she's not a parent yet. I'd like her to point out where it says that! I said she's not a parent yet, but never said she knows nothing! I just meant she does have things to learn, as ALL parents, esp new parents, do. It's a part of being a parent - learning! It's also called 'constructive' criticism - somthing everyone should be able to take in all aspects of life. It's how we learn.

Next she has said that I said her advice is not useful. Again, I'd like her to show me where it says that! I never said such a thing, nor implied it.

All I did was to say that boiling meat was not necessary. It was nothing against her (which I DID say). We are all here to receive and accept advice. I give advice based on my experiences as a mother and a child care worker. If you don't agree with what advice I give, that's your perogatvie. It doesn't mean you have to report me!

I had actually sent a compliment to this girl for being a 'wise owl' as I thought her to be a very mature-minded young lady who will be a great mother. But if she can't read what I write properly, if she wants to say things I did NOT say about her, then I'm sorry but this changes my mind about her.

I did NOT say anything offensive to or about her. I said in the article that I mean no offence to her. I did not even mention her bloody name! All I did was point out a fact that would hopefully help her and others in here. The only reason I said in the article, "someone wrote that...boiling meat..." was so that she will know, when her little dalrilng gets to the age of eating meat, that it is not necessary to boil it. It was to HELP her! And HELP others!
