Return to “Pediatricians asking parents about gun ownership”
That is an excellent answer, but I don't think I could do it with a straight face.TexasGal wrote:I would just look at him wide eyed and say:"Oh heaven's no! Why, if a murderer broke into my home, he would just take it away from me and use it against me! I'm much safer without having one of those in my home."
The sleeping position, as I'm sure you now know, but some new, about to be, or future parents may not know, has to do with SIDS and reducing the probability of an infant dying.jlw02tx wrote:They do actually ask about pools and pets. I don't have a pool so I don't know what they say if you answer yes to that question but if you say you have pets you then are asked to list how many, what kind and their behavior towards the kids. I don't think any of this is their business but the questions about firearms in the home just seemed the most intrusive. They also ask where your kid sleeps and what position you put them to bed in (which is another angry topic for me). It really bothered me in the beginning because I felt like they were questioning my authority as the parent and questioning my judgement but I've had several friends say that theirs did the same thing (minus the gun question) and they didn't seem to mind so I was starting to think I was making too much of it. Glad to see I'm not alone in this opinion.

SIA
That same thought went through my mind as I read the OP and then I get to your post.
