And if somebody realizes they were wrong about a stance, why would you not want them to be authentic and admit that publicly??

A lot of us happen to respect people who are mature enough to admit we were wrong previously!!

And by the way, those of us who have given birth now look back and sometimes say to ourselves, "OMG......I actually thought I knew everything there was to know about parenting and child care, before I had kids. Looking back, I didn't know ANYTHING!!"

Honest people admit they were brought to their knees by new motherhood, and that surviving the relentless 24/7 work at home as a new mother is when you truly "get your degrees".
