And almost every one of the answers alluded to his not being a man for being unable to handle the noise and crying of an infant. Have you all forgotten that one of the leading causes in brain damage and death in infants is from shaken baby syndrome, which generally occurs when a parent or caregiver cannot handle the excessive crying of a baby? Those of you who think, oh well I have never had that problem, yay for you, but some people do not have the tools to deal with that, instead of putting someone down for honestly saying they can’t handle something maybe we should give information and help that person find a resource to develop those tools. Or am I just insane for thinking that we should help infants in these situations?

Congratulations to every single one of you in the linked question who offered your lovely brand of advice, you could have just possibly succeeded in keeping this man and his child from getting the help they may need.
Even if it was not a serious question, it is a serious matter, not everyone gave bad answers, but for those of you who did….hope it made you feel better.
I seriously hope none of you have to deal with the horror that comes from being a mom or dad of a shaken baby……
He never once in his question said he did not want to take care of the baby, he asked for help, not judgment and insults, even though can you really anticipate much more from the majority of morons on Answers?
