    You already sound like you would be a fine parent! At least you recognize you’re not super well put together. Most parents I’ve seen out and about have no clue and think they’re great.

      Thanks for saying that and I agree that far too many parents shouldn’t be.

      It says a lot of the kind of upbringing I’ve had and how I’ve seen others raise children, as I was at rock climbing, indoor, the other day and watched this father coach his 5-7 year old up this climb and then try to get him to rappel back down. The kid kept holding the wrong line and so didn’t move down the wall. The father was so patient and explained everything and gave him tips at the bottom and I just thought that’s rare in my world. I’m used to people shouting when things are not correct.
