Also, I’m not taking child rearing advice from parents who are loathed by their children (not because of typical things kids get annoyed about their parents for like not letting them stay out until 4 am partying on the pier)
Mostly I want to unlearn all the stuff I leanred about parenting from my own parents. The Gentle Christian Mother’s forum comes to mind.
