Interesting about the retirement thing.

I think most parents know how to parent and teach better than they'd realize. Parents are so disempowered. They are shoved out of education and told they can't teach because they are not trained teachers.

They are constantly judged and told how to parent then others, so they no longer trust themselves and their instincts.

Sad about the arguments around how to parent caused by misinformation or information overload.
