No its not easy, nothing about rasing a child is fucking easy. Its not easy for you, and its not easy for the child. Im not looking for an argument over fucking reddit. No matter how you look at it, you should raise your child in a way where they can recognize radical behaviors, teach them anger management, emotional management, how to manage their own self esteem... I will agree with you its not easy, it doesnt always work (say they have ADHD,ODD or something of the sort that interferes) that you cannot take on yourself. I didnt meant to sound douchey, this post just got me going because i live outside a city where i see 9yo in strollers and all sorts of other little brats lol
