tread carefully - this sounds like a trap to me, Go for a neutral responses such as 'babies have a habit of changing the world around them as soon as they arrive so who knows what will be'.

If it's a good friend I would be honest, but in a polite way. Try to find some way to identify with the situation (or make something up). For example, "when (random name) had her first child, she was a little on the wild side, but we (her family and friends) talked to her and were very supportive and helped her straighten her life out for the baby."
I would only say this if it's someone who is a really good friend that you care about, otherwise, i would just be neutral
anyone else starting the TWW

Yeah, neutral. Or just something which sort of cuts it dead like ''I really don;t feel close enough to the situation to be able to give an opinion''.

I would - it sounds like somebody is spoiling for an argument - I mean, after all the history, nobody is really going to say that the book of the perfect parent is about to be re-written are they? This person must know that 90& of regular people will say "It will be fine" and think "Christ, the kid does not stand a chance".
