Raising kids 24/7 (for life? You already don't understand about raising
kids!) often leads to burn out and "taking the easy way". A person with or
without kids who is fresh can see the situation differently and see that
sometimes things are not being done for the best, simply due to fatigue
factor. And, let's not forget - we were all kids at some point, so know how
kids think and some of the things that work and don't work.
"you don't have kids, so you can have no valid opinion" is pure rubbish.
