When my first son was born, my wife subscribed to a website called something along the lines of "The Net Midwife". A former midwife answered health questions from parents.
All her answers were available online for free but if you wanted her to answer your questions, you would have to pay for the subscription.
Why would you want to pay for something which was freely available to you?
Well as it turns out, even though 99% of the questions parents asked were already answered parent's had this idea that their child was unique and they would ask questions like "my child coughs and it says a little noise everything she inhales right after"
The only group of people more naive and easy to persuade are modern dog people.
- EADGBE 9y agoIt's easy to be persuaded by answering services when you're dealing with what's arguably the thing you will ever be most responsible for. Plenty of people/businesses take advantage of that.
- ThomPete 9y agoYup. One thing I have never done though is read other peoples advice on how to raise my kids. That's too important to leave to others :)
