Quote from nutmeg:
we can debate the philosophy (and I welcome it) but no one has a right to tell me how to parent my child.

I agree and a common reply. Question I have (in general) where do you or anyone learn to parent? Most likely, history, meaning how we were raised. child rearing is learned from how we were raised, "good enough for me, good enough for you" bad habits are generational.
So, no one will tell me how to raise my children, by default your parents do, alive or deceased, near or far. You lived it and your kids will too.
Where did your parents learn to parent?
Maybe much hasn't changed over the years re the basics but stressors have, and really need to be considered. Imo.
