[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting how deep intensive parenting Stockholm Syndrome is when parents would rather advocate faking it than questioning the tenets of intensive parenting. Or advocate for only a select few to have children. I mean, really?

yes really. Parenting is hard. You are responsible for another human being.  Unless you think we should parent like we did 200 years ago when children were seen but not heard, your adult life will be very much interrupted by your children.

I don't follow "intensive" parenting, but I also don't ignore my children and expect them to sit and be quiet all day.

My FIL doesn't like being a parent. It's obvious. When we visited with the kids when they were little he complained that they were loud. His wife said, "Yes, children are loud. You were never home so you don't realize". DH also recalls that his father was not interested in being an engaged parent. DH vowed to be a different type of parent even as he doesn't like it when the kids get too loud, either.  But, he deals with it when friends are over.
