One of the scariest parts of becoming a parent is that it involves so many factors that can't be controlled. Those who have a very fixed idea of what it is going to be like are often in for a surprise, especially if they are wearing rose-tinted glasses. The truth is that a baby is just as much of a human being as any adult, and all of them will have different temperaments, issues, and likes and dislikes as a result. 

Parenting certainly influences how a baby acts, but there is a lot that can't be accounted for just by applying the right child-rearing technique. For example, almost all parents would like nothing more than a child who sleeps well from an early age, but many struggle to make that a reality, no matter how hard they try. While it is important to make an effort when raising kids, it can't be expected that this will magically solve every single issue.

  • This is part of the reason that one new mom faced scrutiny after explaining all the reasons that she thought her baby never cried. Ranging from being with her “amazing” parents all the time to not being exposed to arguments, she appeared to be earnest in how impressive she felt her infant daughter was.

    However, many people in the internet who were also parents were somewhat skeptical of the reasoning behind this perfect baby. It may be great to see a mom enjoying the often difficult experience of being a first-time parent, but not everybody can appreciate the attitude that comes with it.

  • concerned citizen @besafegoodluck Replying to @janesue821 Hot take: there are a LOT of terrible parents out there and it's good to do positive things for your baby's wellbeing and it's fine to take credit for the possible benefits, especially while acknowledging temperaments vary. Stop hating on good parents. Focus on the bad ones.

  • MoushiDoodles @DoodlesMoushi Replying to @janesue821 I never liked this mindset. Our baby is pretty chill, he doesn't cry much. People at restaurants and such would complement us and say it's because we're such good parents, which felt nice in the moment, but then I realized it's putting parents with fussy kids down, which isn't cool

  • alexandra scaggs @alexandrascaggs unpopular opinion: if 1) your small child never cries and 2) you attribute this fact to your superior parenting skills, you're both in for a world of hurt

  • motherhood musings @berrysweetmum My toddler just cried for almost an hour because he got woken up from a nap a little too early

  • Bel@ohbelamin A baby who doesn't cry can be a clear sign that something is wrong, possibly due to health issues or mistreatment. Babies communicate through crying. It's horrifying that she speaks with pride about her baby not crying, as if it benefits her own comfort rather than her child's.

  • Kristina Jensen @heavenlyishome It is erroneous to attribute your children's 'good' behavior (not crying isn't good or bad, it's largely personality based) to your 'parenting skills' because you'll find yourself attributing 'bad' behavior to your parenting skills and it'll drive you crazy. Don't take so many

  • Just Mindy @just_mindy I thought people should take seminars from me because clearly I was a naturally exceptional parent as my son was so perfectly behaved (he truly was). Then, came my daughter and I was humbled.

  • Cat Supremacist @Moonbae222 “She was treated like a baby since birth” what does that mean? Does she think the rest of us made our infants get jobs and do dishes? I don't understand
