You know you've made it when people will shout, "Don't you know who I am?!" for you.
Raising a child looks like it's a game of, "How few orders of consequences can I reach before I see how my child's behavior is my responsibility?" to some parents.
Some parents take this to a negative place by blaming themselves for their kids negative traits, especially so if their kid is dominated by those traits. Other parents claim credit for the wonderful things about their kid, again especially so when the kid is defined by those positive traits.
It takes a wholly different kind of parent to be proud of how they're effecting their kid before they even know how the kid ends up turning out, setting aside the reality that parents are only one part of the vast swirl of influence a child experiences.
The pushback to this article might come from Sivers pre-supposing his kid is better off for having his father treat him as he does.
