Great article. My wife and I are 29 year old parents (young by today's standards). She is part of some mother + baby groups and the stories she comes back with...my goodness. So many mothers and parents complain of problems that are OBVIOUSLY their own doing.

Other mother: Oh I'm tired we were up all night with our two year old who kept standing up in their cot.

Her: Yeah ours used to do that but we just let them cry until they settled down again.

Them: I've read that causes long term anxiety so we bring them into our own bed or just give them our phone for an hour.

Me: The Bible is right - people do choose to live in hell.

The article hits it on the head - your kids are NOT your friends.

It’s not exactly great letting your child crying either… I am not convinced you are the better parent here.

If you have a better idea (that works), I'm all ears.

Edit: My daughter went from crying 3 hours every night with us comforting her every 10 minutes to sleeping 12 hours a night without interruption.
