    Disclaimer: I’m not a parent, and I will never have biological children of my own.

    You weren’t born learning to read or write either.

    It’s a combination of education from people around you, other sources such as books or the internet, and experts like their pediatrician, and a lot of figuring it out as you go along. There’s no one right way to parent, but there are a lot of wrong ways to parent.

        Watching my wife become a mother was one of the more unexpected exclusive in my life. Instinct is a hell of a thing.
