Before you make up your mind to be angry at the contents in this blog post, the title reads loud and clear. It’s no secret that we on Double Espresso are not parents.

People always have their two cents on how you hold a baby the right way and what you should feed your child at what age, and while all this can be annoyingly judgmental, there’s some big red flags in parenting that we need to address. The serious mistakes parents make in raising children.
