and so, so many times I wanted to get myself in a diplomatic-enough mood to say "these things are really NOT a good idea, you know?" But as we know, breeders will never listen to us and just snap "you have no kids, so you don't understand"! As IF we also have no brain, no experience, and no life knowledge (such as training in early childhood education[yes, me, if you can imagine that]). But until you have reproduced your own genetic matter, you just have no clue.

it's also a pet theory of mine that we CF folks can actually relate to kids in some ways better than parents can. Not that I WANT to relate to kids, but... To me, it seems that we can remember , in a sort of pure way, BEING kids better than those who have had parenthood overlay the realities of childhood, if that makes any sense.

It's a very interesting theory that CF people remember their childhoods better than parents.
The thing I'm thinking of is: Don't nearly all kids have a desire to fit in with their peers and not be the strange or different one? My parents didn't seem to understand why I didn't like it when they forced me to be different in some way. But didn't they want to fit in too when they were kids? Or maybe it just was not something they thought about because they were very normal kids for the time and place they grew up. They just did not seem to get that I needed to be normal for my time and place, and it totally sucked.
