Quote from Ghost of Cutten:
Also, research suggests that parental guidance has almost zero impact on long-term life outcomes for children. The main impact is genetics, and peer group (i.e. wider society, kids friends etc).
Have your opinion about the merits of being a Dad fine... prior to being a Dad, I could not have cared less about children either...
but...
with regard to the above statement I have a few observations... / objections...
1. weasel words... (just learned about this link.)
A weasel word (also, anonymous authority) may be an informal term[1] for equivocating words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said, when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim, or even a refutation has been communicated.

2. If even a real study... must come from a very biased perspective.
3. Bullshit - in almost every objective and subjective way, I can imagine.
Fucked up parents are the most guaranteed way to a high ratio of fucked up kids...
and parents who care and set boundries seem to experience a good ratio of outcomes.
genetics... sure influence the range... but...
but do not buy into that it takes a village hillary clinton socialist bullshit...
it takes parents who care.... ask teachers.
