Please don't misunderstand what I wrote. Raising children is not usually easy but can be a pleasure for many parents. I don't pretend to have all the answers. I pass along my own observations, For example I have noted that some cultures do better at raising children. Middle eastern muslims on average seem to raise better children in terms of capability, respect and politeness.

I also had a neighbor one time who I encouraged to consider becoming a counseller for raising children as she had such a lovely family. She was a single mom for three years.

"Middle eastern muslims on average seem to raise better children in terms of capability, respect and politeness." Because in that culture children are "second class citizens" and often subjected to physical, sexual, and mental abuse, especially girls, but boys are also exploited. Beating children into submission can temporarily make them "behave" but ends up creating monsters who in turn become abusers of the next generation of children, or even Jihadis who take out their suppressed rage on innocent "Infidels".
