Why are parenting skills not considered a legitimate critique?

Kotaro asked:


Why are republicans trying to avoid this issue like the plague? Why are republicans confusing this as attacks and insults against her children?

If someone called her children incestuous retarded degenerate pot-heads, that would be considered an attack or insult against her children, but this is actual criticism of Sarah Palin’s parenting skill which would reflect on her ability to lead as Vice President and potentially President if anything happens to McCain.

Books written by Fathers about parenting/children?

October 7th, 2008
Yentl asked:


I have just purchased Joe Kelly’s Dad’s and Daughters book. It’s written by a dad about how he cares for his children and shows them he loves them in deed and by showing understanding for their emotional needs.

I am very hungry for a book written in the same style and tone, by men or fathers.

What books for, by, from, about etc dads/fathers/men could you recommend?

Thanks!

How do you make parenting decisions with your significant other?

October 6th, 2008
.vato. asked:


I’m just curious how other people do this or if there is even a decision at all. My husband and I have two totally different ideas of parenting but somehow we do pretty good together through compromise and strategy.

So, how do you make parenting decisions? Does one person do the majority of the parenting? Do you even discuss parenting with your significant? I’m just curious! Thanks!
One more question–are your kids involved in parenting decisions?
