A comment on advice |

In our circle of friends we were the first to have babies- we sort of learnt about parenting without having anyone to compare notes with or ask advice.
As more of our friends have babies, we have knowledge and experience that we are so willing to share, but 
often people are uncomfortable about asking....somehow we all think that when you wake up one day as a parent and you are supposed to wake up on that same day, knowing everything about being a parent.
Would we expect anyone to come into a new workplace and succeed at something they have never done without training?...I don't think so.
As parents, we had some successes and some things that didn't work - there are no failures just opportunities to learn.
minti is a brilliant way to share that information with our friends and so many more parents who may need a new idea or new way to handle something - kind of like parenting training!
