There's so much more to parenting than 2AM feedings or changing diapers. .... He taught his kids respect, honesty, integrity and how to love. He did so both in words and how he lived his life. He gave us the tools we'd need to succeed in life. .... The ability to lift a child off the floor doesn't constitute good parenting, just as the inability to do so doesn't constitute poor parenting. THANK YOU Phil. Also remember, the 2am feedings and the lifting off the floor are a very short period of time. They grow up, and they grow up FAST, and then parenting becomes much more emotional and intellectual and not very physical at all. In fact, in no time they're doing chores for mom and dad! Voice of experience here. What's disturbing to me, and I guess I'm alone with this, isn't so much what's being said - but the fact that it is being said at all. It seems like dis guys are being painted with one broad brush. And the kicker is that it's by people that are supposed to (or want to) understand us and admire us.
