How do you ever know if something is instinct or conditioning? By the time you become a parent you have had 20+ years being bombarded with conflicting messages from a billion different directions, many you respect and trust. This then snowballs faster through pregnancy and the transition into motherhood as everyone starts adding in their truths. Of course people are going to be lost and confused. Of course people are going to turn to 'expert' sources to verify their directions. Of course some will be led down the wrong path. Of course they might not even realise. They dont deserve judgement but understanding and help, especially if they reach out regardless of how misinformed their current position is. The only truly lost in life are those who stop asking questions. If Pinky wants to be frustrated it isnt parents who should be the subject of it but those who perpetuate these ridiculous ideals of how a baby should be. Not out of ignorance but from a business perspective. The new parents are just trying to do the best they can with what theyve been given.

The whole thing just seems to be aimed in the wrong direction. Each new parent is a new case and should be treated as such rather than lumped into this 'annoyance pile' based on the actions of those who came before them. It is like a kindy teacher getting annoyed having to answer why the sky is blue because so many ****ing children have asked me that, when will they just ****ing get it? A new parent is a learner in the same way a kindy child is, questions should be expected as they grow into the position!
