Wasn’t expecting those results
I"ll do you a solid and pin it to the top. This is good info and something we've wondered, too.Rokslide age pole..
** put something in the comment box so it stays at the top to get accurate poll…
The same could be said for the 55 year old. My mom could give some great advice on raising kids but when it come to more modern issues with raising kids, she is clueless. She couldn’t offer advice on contending with social media and young kids. She never had to deal with it. This is where looking at someone’s experience matters far more than age.The 25-year-old still can't because the 25-year-old hasn't tied the shoe the 55-year-old wears little lone walked a mile in them.
Then it's not his experience to give...

I mean it could be passed up. I don’t have kids yet and I am 31. I will probably be in me early 40s before I really have to contend with that and would rather look at the younger parents that understand things a little better than I will when I am that age.Agree. But that young experience won't be passed up to a 55-year-old raising their first one either. It will be shared among peers or those just starting out.
Now, when it comes to grandkids, they're still your kids and the [older] baby-sitter should take your council seriously...
I'll tag onto much of the concepts here.A real world example. I work with a very young engineer that often offers advice and direction on matters he clearly has no experience with. He is sharp and remembers things very well, but it's obvious he does not have the necessary credentials to offer direction in some things. He doesn't let that stop him though.
Here, a young'un shouldn't be giving directives based on what he remembers is some class somewhere. He isn't professionally mature enough yet and hasn't experienced any failures to earn a few battle scars.
This also occurs in many facets of life, and since this is a hunting site, someone could've had very limited but successful experience in calling in a bull in Sept and then tries to gove instruction and correction to someone with 30 years of hunting experience, in multiple states, in multiple scenarios all the while balancing a full time job and raising a family. His oldest son, by the way, is the same age as the advice giver.
The biggest error anyone can make is to say "what you need to do is ______"...
This concept is interesting one. Do I look towards my parents for wisdom and guidance raising kids? Yes.Agree. But that young experience won't be passed up to a 55-year-old raising their first one either. It will be shared among peers or those just starting out.

+1 on dat for me (I voted 0-15)Oh shit, my bad. I took this as what age we act/feel. Went with that because I hurt in the morning, don’t make much sense and occasionally shit myself.
