Hi Joanne and others,
my quote and Joanne's response to it;

Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it. Do we need to tell
mothers anything? What I
find is most helpful is to listen to them, to ask them questions...
I'd like to suggest that we all be a little more careful about responding to
statements taken out of context. My original quote was made in response to a
specific question and thus was meant to apply to a specific group, not as a
generic dictum to mothers in general.
This has happened several times with at least a few different posters over
the course of this thread and it seems silly and a waste of everyone's time
to disagree with someone who is agreeing with you!
