Parenting advice? Please help! I don’t want to raise a brat.. Or worse!!!?

Question:
If you would like a little background you can read my questions from earlier:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar.KHzm7gUah5.DY3t7.g1rsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091111094233AAzSE8Z

And if you don’t want to read my venting novels from earlier et me put it this way: I wasn’t exactly raised to be a good parent. My own parents were less than great and I was allowed to do pretty much whatever I wanted. Some days I really resent my parents for the things I was taught (and mostly WASN’T taught) and I never want to be like them with my son. He is only 7 months old but I know I can never start too early. I wake up every morning and tell myself to not be like my parents raised me to be.

If you DID read my previous questions, thank you. You must be terribly bored! :-)

So my question is this:
What are some of the best parenting tips you were told that have worked for you and your family?
Do you know of any great parenting books that I can read?
Anything is greatly appreciated!!!

What is it with people who don’t have kids, handing out unsolicited advice to parents on how to raise kids?

Question:
Man, does that irritate me. When my daughter was still in diapers, I got a lecture from a co-worker (no kids but “I have nieces and nephews”) on how bad it was to use disposable diapers and a “good parent” would use cloth diapers and wash them. My wife had a childless co-worker (again with “nieces and nephews”) go on at length about what a lazy parent she (my wife) is because we had child-proof doorknobs, a gate across the stairs, etc. and a “good parent” would be attentive enough and not need to child-proof everything, that’s just being lazy. Grrr! Does this happen to other people too, or are my wife and I being singled out?

Why would a single father be proud of himself for going out of his way to raise a child without a mother?

Question:
Just read this great advice from ThomasRN:

“Advice, if you’re GF, wife, etc is pregnant & tells you she’s gonna kill your unborn child.
Put a gun to her head & tell her if she kills your child the next time you’ll squeze the trigger.
Worked for my friend, he now has sole custody of his son.”

I thought single parenthood was generally undesirable and only done because you don’t have a choice. No one should choose to be a single parent. We know that children need both parents to grow up healthy. He can be a father anytime, but a child only has one mother and he made sure his child was born to one who didn’t want him. Isn’t this the kind of selfish behavior some of you demonize single mothers for; choosing to be a single parent and going out of your way to exclude a parent from it’s kid’s life.

Is it even possible to go to full time college and raise a kid as a single parent?

Question:
I want to go to college for cosmetology which is 15 months Mon-Fri 9-5.

I am a single mother to a 2 year old, i have a boyfriend who lives with us and should have a job by than, i hope anyway. I don’t know who would watch my kid, all i have is my 80 year old grandma and my siblings who are to busy to help, and mother lives hours away.

I would go to college, and keep a part time job. It would take a lot of getting used to because i get stressed out easily and working part-time now wears me out.

Is it worth even trying?

My family (grandma, and sister) are not supportive of this at all, they think it would be a waste of time.

Any advice, or experience. Thanks
