Bottle vs breast, circumcised or not, cry it out or sooth, vaccinate or not..etc
Why can't we as moms just respect each others choices? Every mom has their own parenting style and do what works best for them and their child and no one has the right to judge or condemn that. As moms we should support each other and on here when some one has a question just inform them not judge or add your unwanted opinions.
So what will be the next debate?
Sorry if i sounded like i am not open to others opinions, i am and i am open to debating issues in a respectful manner. I am talking about how some people on here are not respectful when posting their opinion.
 
i think debate done respectfully is great, interesting, and useful. i generally assume (admittedly sometimes incorrectly) that if somebody asks a question on here then opinions on the subject are not "unwanted".

the problem is not when we debate; it is when we attack, condemn, and fight.

and there are some choices that people are within their rights to condemn, though they involve real abuse or neglect and the choices you listed are not among them. there's still nothing wrong with respectfully and maturely discussing pros and cons of choices on things from breastfeeding to vaccinating and beyond.

Unfortunately this will almost always be the case when it comes to parenting.I think it is good to debate about things but most of the time they get out of control and turn into an argument and then the mud gets slung.I usually just state my opinion and how I feel and then go on.There is no telling what the next one will be.
 
I do agree with the premise of your post but... by virtue of posting on an open forum the poster is inviting "unwanted" opinions. If you don't want opinions/answers that could possibly conflict with the validation you'd like to receive then I recommend against posting at all.

Maybe this could be the next debate.

Why would someone post a question if they didn't want anyone's opinion or guidance?
 
Spanking vs. not spanking also seems to be a hot button issue. Public, private or home school, sweets or no sweets, Santa is to be believed in or not. Teach religion or don't teach religion.
 
I am up for anything! A good old debate is fun; it is when people get their feelings hurt and ask for opinions they really do not want that problems occur. I would say that if we all agree that each of us will do our own thing, and then debate why we choose something (ie spanking) then no one whould get hurt, and maybe we will try something new that we otherwise would not have.
 
Educated vs non, married vs single, older parents vs younger, daycare vs sah, Chicago vs everyday, school lunch vs packing, Breakfast programs vs not having them, standardized testing vs non, mandatory parenting classes vs non, what constitutes abuse.
