Other people mentioned how your missing the posting to the public part of the equation. Video and take pics of your kid, but those are private memories and the child should have a say in what gets shared with the public. (Obviously that is my opinion, but I support bodily autonomy. Even if they are under 18. This mean different things depending on the event, because sometimes kids are stupid. Parents obviously need to make their kids do some things they don't want, but sharing things on social media is not one of those times. Maybe stop them for over sharing, but that's it.)

Also.....

Parenting advice from childless young people is like marriage advice from a priest

This isn't really the same thing. A childless young person just went through being raised in the modern age. I don't know where the kids hang out or what took over for skibidi after I found out what it is, but the young childless people might.

A priest that was never married has no life experience, but......they might hear what the arguments that are going around from talking to married people. They would be able to explain what worked with other couples....

Okay maybe you were right about the analogy, but my conclusion is different. Listen to them and see what they say. Just cause someone has a different life experience than you doesn't mean they can't form helpful advice based on their own.
