That's true, and what jumps out at me is that no two children are exactly alike...even twins. In my case, our two boys have had their moments, but I know people who have had much more serious issues to deal with: ADHD kids and children with serious developmental disabilities, kids who started out normal and average, but started turning antisocial and getting in serious trouble in their teens, even if they tried their best to raise perfect children. On the other hand, those of us who have had a relatively easy time raising their children, can be all full of great advice, and have no idea how lucky they have been, and how unlucky some other parents have it!
Pretty much.
Which is why I would never presume to give parenting advice to anybody unless I know them and their children quite well. And even then, never unsolicited.
