My basis for good parenting: show up, don’t be crazy.
I take both seriously. I’m not being trite, I structure my work day so I have real time with my son every day. I do activities that we can do together on the weekend, some that he enjoys and some we can enjoy together. I work every day on modeling good behavior for him, I don’t get frustrated when he is acting out, etc. don’t be crazy when you’ve got a two year old isn’t that intense, when you’ve got a 14 year old I’m sure it’s going to be trying.
Friends that I have who are relatively well adjusted had parents who mostly did both. They also seem to have good relationships with their parents in adulthood. It’s not going to make a good parenting book, but let’s be honest none of us are going to A/B test this stuff.
