      Oh,just feel like some folks think their knowledge is grounded in practical real-life experience,when its not.....Easy to criticise from an ivory tower,much harder when faced with reality... ! Book smart does not always equal real knowledge.....
      When i was younger i could 'easily' criticise certain aspects of peoples parenting skills,but when you go through it yourself you begin to see if your criticism of others was valid or just based on incomplete knowledge and armchair punditry....

        I don't comment on what I don't know of. I'm certainly not criticising people's parenting skills, I have many parents in my family

        And I do have to handle kids, sometimes. If anything stretches your patience to the limits, it's a 2 year old kid on a sugar rush.

        By thw way, are you a Saudi parent by any chance, and is your child one of the 45% that are supposedly "abused"?

              Actually, I'm talking purely on the worst of both societies. Not of the majority...

              I know many of the supposed statistics are myths, like the "50% divorce rate", but you cannot sincerely deny there is no problem in either societies.

                  By the way, I have to congratulate you on attempting to personally attack me when you started out.

                  Now, onto your post

                  Correct. I was dwelling on this. Not on whether some parents I have never met or seen are good or bad at raising their children.

                  Either way, psychological harm will come to people, whether you shelter them and wrap them in cotton wool, or whether you force them out into the streets.

                      Actually, I chose specifically not to comment on that, but address it. And no, I don't think I'm "good".

                      And as for "bait", what you perceive as "bait" may not be so.

                      And finally, as for maturity, if maturity = resorting to logical fallacies, distorted meanings, erroneous questions and such, I prefer being immature in your eyes.

                          I'm not assured, don't remember saying I was? And of course, I'm not like this offline. More specifically, the only time I'm like this is towards people like you

                          Keep at it, like I said.

                              Oh sure, go ahead. I'd love to tate my own medicine...

                              Again, what do we see? You argued what I said point by point until you couldn't - then you resorted to personal attack as always. rotfl

                              Listen, do you SERIOUSLY think I give half a s*** about what some random thinks of me over the internet? It's entertaining, and a fine exercise in certain basic things, but wow, are you so prepared to think that you're giving me a "tate (sic) of own medicine"?
