Who has influenced your sah/woh

opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

But sometimes I prefer chocolate and sometimes I prefer strawberry.

You're confusing "better" in the objective vs. subjective sense.
I know that WOH is better for me, but I do not believe that for every family and across the board, WOH is the best choice for every parent.

But it just ISN'T. Not all similar things must divide up into better/worse dichotomies. It's true that they sometimes do, but that doesn't mean that they always do. Let's take your 2 cups of icecream example: in some cases, one cup of ice cream will be better than the other. But not always. Sometimes it will be merely different (and not just in terms of chocolate/vanilla). Some brands of icecream go heavier on the cream, some go lighter. They use different ratios of sugar. Different recipes. I can taste two different cups of icecream and appreciate their differences without ranking them.
Haven't you ever been to a wine tasting? That is an excellent example of appreciating the differences between similar things without ranking them as better or worse.
Why does one have to be better?
