Do you think the majority of parents take parenting seriously?

I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?

Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?

I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts” out there.

Do you choose to follow an “expert’s” advice? If so, which one and why?

I already have the “What to expect when you are expecting” series, what else was useful for you?

What books on parenting have been worth buying for you?

What about pregnancy books? Which ones could you not live without?

My husband and I are first time parents and need some direction! Thanks!
