Double D,
Yes, strong opinions about parenting seem to me to be either self-congratulatory or naive.
Self-congratulatory, as in someone's kids turned out OK and therefore they feel they were responsible for that fortunate occurance.
Naive, as in they never had kids.
Oh there's one more, people who turned out OK and attribute that to their parents. Let's see, what would I call that?
Hindsight is not the same as predicting anything.
Also, "studies" and statistics are vastly unusable where children are concerned. As a former educator. I can easily say that the overwhelming majority of what I was taught about children and how to teach them was absurd, irrelevant, ignorant, and inapplicable.
