I don't believe I said that, but I agree that you can NEVER truly know what parenthood is like, living with a child raising them day in and day out, being responsible for everything.. Potty training, sickness, temper tantrums, all that, until they actually HAVE children. It's like trying to imagine what it's like to live with a life-threatening illness or disease. You can NEVER truly say you know what it's like or can understand the experience unless you have it.
Doesn't mean people without kids can't have opinions, however no one opinion can possibly fit every parental situation. Every child, every family is different. It's easy to judge something based on an opinion, but unless you are fully aware of the situation at hand, that opinion means about as much as the piss I took this morning. Catch my meaning?

You don't have to be a parent to state an opinion on whether or not someone is a good parent or whether or not a parent did something the correct way.
By your own logic, any discussions of national politics are now meaningless since no one here has been President, Governor, or Senator.
I'm gonna start tossing that line out now. "You were never President! You don't know!"
