Forums and opinions

Well, just been reading some posts over on the 'Essential Baby' forum. I was so tempted to sign up and post some replies, but there seemed to be quite a few negative people hanging around so I thought it was best to give my opinions here instead where I'm less likely to be either a: noticed or b: slammed for my opinions!

One poor woman had posted that her baby just really, really hated being in the car. I've got a friend who's having that issue at the moment too. 
Anyway, this woman was trying to work out if she should acclimatise the baby to the car by driving him around more or should she keep him out of the car as much as possible or.... etc. 
It got me thinking that this is a classic example of what I guess we all do with our babies. We all try different things to 'fix' the problem and when it's fixed we assume it was the last thing we tried that worked. Problem is, it might not have been! It may be the second last thing, or perhaps the baby just grew out of it while you were still hunting for solutions. 

Personally, I've given up trying to analyse problems with my daughter! It is so much easier to just go, 'OK, this is how it's going to be today/this week/this month' and go with the flow. 
Generally speaking most of the annoying/upsetting problems tend to disappear within a week or so. 
I wanted to reassure this woman with the car/baby problems that it's probably just a stage and it's just a patience/time thing. But I know that that's not really comforting, and besides there are probably others out there that will disagree in the nastiest possible way. 

So the lesson of the day is: stay out of forums! 

And the photo of the day is:
