It's been a long time since this was posted, but there was a link back to it, and I just had to comment on this comment: I, of course, not being a parent, know exactly how all children should be raised: exactly as their parents think appropriate.

FANTASTIC! There are far far far too many non-parents who think they know exactly how to parent, and just love to weigh in on how parents should be parenting. Reason being, "I was a child once" and "I have friends who are parents, and I've seen how it works". Gah. Just no. Sure, you get an opinion, it just doesn't get weighed as heavily as that of people who've been there.
