I think most people chiming in here (me included) are just sharing anecdotes about their experiencing raising their children.
Destruction is a normal part of adolescent behavior. I think many first time parents are just really surprised to see it manifest so strongly in their children, especially toddlers.
- watwut 6y agoI don't know what you mean as normal adolescent destruction. My brother was not destructive nor were my friends. Adolescent sons of my colleagues are not destructive. I know that troubled teens exists, but I also know that many of them are actually decent people. Most toddler destruction is cluelessness and the same toddler is sad and compassionate in other situations. Physically active toddler boys are noisy which is tiring, but they are also sweet and trying their best. And all of that is irrelevant to effect from article, which manifest only in immigrant fathers and first born female child. And the effect is small. So the divorce effect is likely way more about clash between cultural expectations of foreign born dads then about how horrible either boys or girls are.
