parenting

Hello! This is obviously a new community so I'm not expecting many responses, but who knows? A community has to start somewhere and it needs posts.

Anyways, in about 6 months I'll be a new parent. I have a lot of my own ideas about parenting based on what I've seen work and not work in the real world, and I'm no stranger to babies, so I don't feel totally unprepared. I'm not so foolish as to think that some preconceived notions on how to parent makes me prepared to be one, though (as prepared as anyone can really be, anyways).

That being said, I am also fully aware no book is going to have all the answers either, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from them. So to the parents out there, what reading have you found useful or helpful in your parenting journey?
