- rayiner 2y agoThe idea that parenting makes a huge difference in kids is 20th century anti-Catholic propaganda perpetuated by WASPs. Outside the extremes, parenting doesn’t make much of a difference: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/parenting-anxiety-happiness-children/677960 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/parenting-.... For the vast majority of people, biology will kick in and make them love and adequately raise their kids, regardless of their individual “wants.”
