By that logic, midwives, teachers, and child psychologists must all be clueless too. Experience matters, sure — but so does common sense, observation, and not talking out your arse like parenting is some mystical elite club.

Midwives don't talk to children in the womb..so we can agree to erase that one. Teachers don't parent, they teach. Or should do..they ain't allowed to belt kids now, cause that isn't in the job description. A teacher had no clue to the parenting of a child amd shouldnt be getting involved in anything. Unless perhaps the child has psychological trauma symptoms. That's when they pick up the phone to the child psychologist who hopefully has went through enough training that makes them independent to social services.

You’re bending over backwards to gatekeep something that millions of people get wrong every single day. Being a parent doesn’t automatically make you an expert, it just means you had sex and didn’t pull out. That’s biology, not brilliance.

Let’s not pretend pushing a pram qualifies someone to lecture the world on morals, discipline, or emotional intelligence. Plenty of people without kids have more insight into child welfare than some parents who think screaming and a tablet is a parenting strategy.

If being a parent truly made someone wise, empathetic, or all-knowing, social services would be out of a job, and spoiler alert: they’re busier than ever.
