Where to start? I am not an expert, just a parent like all of you, the bottom line is where I must start. For one thing, everyone is entitled to their own values of which their children are raised by. I find by talking to alot of people that they are raising their children different than their parents raised them. There is no right or wrong way. However, I feel that by putting a child in such a situation as letting him "nurse" a baby when he doesn't have the right "equipment" could be highly damaging to him. Without stepping on too many toes, I would also like to add that my little boy at age 3 put on my high heels and walked(stumbled lol) around the house, but at age 5 he wouldn't dare. I think boys should grow up to be boys and girls to be girls. I strongly believe that a boy should know how to do his own laundry or know how to do dishes, but that is teaching basic responsibility. Girls should know the main parts of an engine to a car(I wish my dad had taught me) or how to change a tire.
Most things in life are just a key to living a normal life. But I would have to say when a boy decides to nurse, what is next? Makeup? We have enough to deal with already without letting them go at home. Just watch M.T.V. for about 3 hours straight. Probably wrote way too much to make any sense. Just how I feel. Smiling
