Exactly.

And thank you @nobyeni for putting into words something I’ve felt for a long time.

Parenting is another realm where opinions not only rule, but actively prevent any real understanding. As a new parent, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to hear everyone’s opinion presented as God’s given wisdom. But it’s the rare parent who will admit that they don’t know enough about being one and is trying to become the best they can be at it.
