I have four nephews, a niece & my s-i-l is pregnant with a fifth. Is that not enough hands on experience for you? Believe it or not, I was also a child once.

Welcome to a "parenting" thread on FR! They rate a '7' on the "might become a flamewar" scale, right behind crevo, tattoo, and immigration threads.

Personally, I welcome your input, although I THINK we disagree somewhat.

Son, I had my first nephew when I was 10, he is now 20... I had fourteen nieces and nephews before I had my first kid at 28. I did the whole babysitting, taking to the park, zoo, church etc with more than four kids in toe and I can tell you this..

All of that pales to the having the sole day to day responsibility of watching *1* let alone *2* kids under five years old. So I'm sorry until you've lived that life you need to realize your station and stop giving advice on something you're clearly not familiar with!
