Can you all please tell me what some of the biggest parenting controversies are? I know children's clothing is one.
Thanks!What are the biggest parenting controversies out there?
I've been a mom for 29 years to 4 kids. I guess I can't agree that children's clothing is a controversial subject. I might have some issues with what my kids want to wear (such as the same jeans every day of the week), but I certainly am not at odds with other parents over what their kids are wearing. I do think the subject of stay-at-home mom versus ';working'; mom is a subject that often causes people to choose sides. Another issue that can be divisive is whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate your children. That subject can be controversial. There's also the breast feeding vs. formula feeding issue that's good for some interesting discussion. Since most of my kids are older now, one of the things often discussed in parenting circles was the idea of forbidding our kids to drink at home until they were 21 or the idea that since the are ';going to do it anyway'; to let underage kids drink in your home. Now, that was a controversial topic depending on who you were with. Of course, if you want to get things going, you can always bring up the subject of spanking, that's good for some interesting conversations as well. I guess children's clothing is certainly small potatoes when it comes to most of these other subjects.What are the biggest parenting controversies out there?
Vaccinations/no vaccinations
teaching your child about God/not teaching them
breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding
cloth vs. disposable diapers
spanking vs. no spanking
Let them cry it out/not cry it out
These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head that come up here on a regular basis.
Children's clothing? Like it being too old for little kids?
Here are the topics I think are the most controversial
Disposable vs cloth diapers
Spanking
Pro-life vs pro-choice
Co-sleeping
Breastfeeding vs formula
Daycare
I'd say the biggest ones would be:
Breastfeeding Vs Formula
%26amp;
Whether to circumcise or not.
I've seen a lot of debates on here about those ones.
You can check out this site it has lots of answers to all such questions on parenting...I just happened to bang into it in google.
spanking, circumcision, cellphones
stay at home mom/dad vs working parents
single parents vs. couples
daycare vs staying at home
to vaccinate vs not to
to breastfeed vs formula feed
to spank vs not to
to homeschool vs public or private school
to let them watch tv vs limit or ban it
regular diapers vs cloth
adoption vs abortion
pro life vs pro choice
theres a ton
