It is generally well known that the eager new parents tend to overthink everything and overdo everything they can think of (stroller type? formula vs breast milk? daycare amenities? nursery wall color?). As mentioned in the discussion and in the quoted book, there is only so much a parent can do to affect the way their offspring grow up. It turns out that optimal parenting is not that hard. Provide a happy, supportive and occasionally challenging environment, make time to enjoy the little ones and don't sweat the minutiae. If you find parenting not fun, you are doing it wrong.

EDIT: I'm somewhat surprised by the strong silent downvote to below the troll threshold. And now that it is so low, people won't even bother spending karma on explaining it.

EDIT2: hmm, I didn't mean to whine, guys, but I'm happy that this comment is above the troll level again.
