I've heard that if polio doesn't kill you, it makes you super strong. So that should be great.cardsfansince82 wrote:Try telling this to my sister in law.

Just tell the kids "no" all the time, on anything... except on their birthday, let them choose cake or pie, but if they whine about their choice of cake or pie, take away their birthday.

You should really get the kid some shots.
There is no credible reason not to have shots unless your niece has a weak immune system. So your sister in law is potentially harming her own child and she is harming those who have the weakest immune systems whose survival depends on the rest of us being vaccinated.

Re: Raising babies "by the book"
There is nothing worse than first-time parents, especially ones that are "by the book" parents. They are frequently among the most certifiably insane and unreasonable people that I have to deal with. I think couples that want to have a baby should spend a week in a place like Ecuador watching how families with newborns live their lives. It's enlightening.

Re: Raising babies "by the book"
At least they care. The worst kind, I'd guess, are parents that don't read a book because they don't care enough to do so. That said, I only read about a 40 page book. And only read maybe 30 pages of it.Fat Strat wrote:There is nothing worse than first-time parents, especially ones that are "by the book" parents.

With the first baby, if they get within 10 ft of a power outlet, you freak out. By the 4th kid, you are handing them a fork and aiming them towards the outlet.

I didn't read a book. No book could have helped me deal with my ex in the weeks and months after the birth of my daughter.
