I must share with you another gem from one of my favourite dad blogs – MetroDad – this time on “All Your Parenting Questions Answered!”  Here’s the background in MD’s own words:

Anyway, whenever someone writes me for parenting advice, I usually do take the time to answer them seriously… I figure that anyone who takes time out of their day to write me a serious e-mail about parenting deserves a serious answer. However, most of the time, these are the replies that I really want to send…

By his own admission, MD has no background in pediatrics or child psychology.  But, like any good parent, he has also confessed to have “read every parenting and baby book ever written in English when he found out he was going to be a father”.

The writeup handles most of the tough questions you’d like answers to, including:

• When is a child too old to breast feed?
• My child is a fussy eater. What should I do?
• Is it ok to like one of your children more than the other?

and, the best of all …

• How do you know if you are ready to become a parent?

If you are a parent or are planning to be one someday, this one is a must-read!
