You're right, good question. Just the mere having of kids doesn't make you an expert.
But in this case, the beauty (or ugly) is not that OP can now say this without backing it up; it's that when you don't have kids, the roles are reversed. You don't have children? You don't know what you're talking about. You do? Now suddenly we want proof and all that jazz.
He put his money where his mouth was, good on him. If he wasn't entitled to an opinion for not having kids at first, then, now that he has them, I say let the man have his hour.
- facepalm 11y agoI don't exactly understand your argument, to be honest. Surely the majority of people who care about that kind of rules are parents anyway? If parents would agree that kids shouldn't have iPads, then no legislation would be necessary? So ultimately it is parents opinion vs parents opinion... He is completely entitled to his opinion, of course. I just don't see how merely having kids gives you any insights on the impact of iPads on kids, unless you give them an iPad.
- yawz 11y ago> So ultimately it is parents opinion vs parents opinion... I'd argue that, while parents controlling their young kids' exposure to electronics are doing it deliberately, some (most?) of the parents giving their young kids access to electronics simply can't be bothered to have an opinion.
