Do you like kids ?

I think it's rather insulting to suggest that someone who has a child who is crying longer than the children you've raised or help raised aren't doing it correctly. I would not make that type of assumption in the future, because not every child is the same and not every situation is the same. Some children are autistic, have temperamental personality types, or just suffer from colic. Even if they have been seen by a doctor and are generally healthy otherwise. 

It's not my opinion. Even Google says to call a doctor if your baby is crying nonstop for two hours. lol. 

Yes and then the doctor finds out what is 'wrong' (our youngest had GERD for his fist few years) and there is nothing you can do about it but try to soothe the baby non stop and keep them in an upright position. Which we did, taking shifts at night to keep the baby upright on our lap so he could sleep. But you can't hold him 24/7 which wouldn't have been good for his development anyway, plus we had his 2 year older brother to take care of as well.

Consider yourself lucky you haven't had to deal with that. It was so bad he had to have teeth surgery at 3 years old because the constant reflux rotted half his baby teeth. Feeding was always a gamble, he spit most of it back up. Scary times to see his weight dropping instead of increasing. Then drive a car with severe sleep deprivation and a crying baby in the back to head back to the doctor again.

It wasn't all bad though. Playing Valkyria Chronicles with your infant softly snoring on your lap is precious.
