[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good parenting is one of the hardest yet most rewarding jobs on the planet but it’s not for everyone. There are plenty of jobs where you ca[b]n get a B rating [/b]and do nicely but parenting isn’t one of them. Both spouses must be all in to make it really work because the ramifications of a half ass effort are awful. The joys of doing a good job are extraordinary. [/quote]

You absolutely can.

What is true of  parenting is you can get an A rating and still have a screwed-up kid.[/quote]

+1 You can do everything right and things can still turn out wrong.

Parenting is hard but I have to disagree about the rewarding part. My kids are little but I don't see any of these rewards people allude to...and I don't expect I will. It's work. Some people like it. Some people don't. I am a good parent because I love them and it is my obligation, but to me, it is not rewarding. A huge fear of mine is that they won't turn out right despite doing everything "right." It is the hardest yet most unrewarding job there is.[/quote]
