This thread wasn't meant as an attack on parenting, it was an attack on BAD parenting. By and large, it is bad parents who raise bad kids. Yes, many kids will defy all logic, care, and teaching that their parents attempt to bestow on them and turn out less than what their parents had hoped, but I don't believe that it's a very substantial number at all.
I'm sorry that I'm concerned about bad parents. I would have thought that all you good parents would be just as unhappy with bad parents, if not more so, than I am.
As people who have kids, I would have thought- as you're all so eager to point out to me repeatedly- that your experience as a good parent would set off all kinds of alarms, and anger you, to see people being bad parents.
Maybe some people are only concerned about the welfare of their own children, unless it's something truly epic like child rape or abuse. There are some people in this world, however, who care about others and don't just keep quiet when they see parents being idiots.
Say what you want about my opinions and whether you think I'm wrong or not... but I'm surprised that people want to put down someone who is actually cares.
