*This post relates to people I am just acquaintances with. I have one friend with kids and she has been more than helpful. She also wonders this same question, though...*

I know a few people in my area that have young children. I have tried to talk to them about things like daycare and schooling. Every one of them seems hesitant to actually state the name of the daycare their child to go to and doesn't want to talk about what elementary school their child will be going to. It's like it's all some big "you have to be a parent to understand it" secret or something.

I don't understand this. I'm all about helping someone out when I have knowledge on a situation that they're new to. I'm obviously new to parenting and daycare and all that, why wouldn't a parent want to help another future parent out?
