    I’ve often seen kids throwing tantrums in public, and the parents (feeling embarrassed) immediately resort to appeasement. Whenever you give a screaming child something that makes them happy, they learn that screaming more often will get them what they want.

    And they will inevitably cause situations in which the kid can never get what they want, but they still believe screaming hard enough works, resulting in an indefinite tantrum. Bad parenting will definitely snowball if you’re not careful.

      Let’s see what requirement in parenting skills/knowledge are in order to have kids.

      Requirements to have children:

      1. Functional gonads.

      2. P in V sex.

      3. Not quite 10 months incubation time. (Yeah the 9 months is a lie got repeated several times the last few weeks before delivery by my wife).

      Welp that sums it up: No parenting skills or knowledge required.
