Nope, my parents are definitely not the best parents ever. Neither of them deserved to be placed on that pedestal. Both of them have negative flaws that I wouldn't raise a child like that.
Though if I had to select who I place higher is my mother. I love the fact that she never hit me but she has no method at all; that's bad too. Someone that uses a household object to hit (under the pathetic diguised as ''discipline'') gets taken out of my pedestal immediately. You're never be highly valuable to me. At least I'll just accept and love you just for being my parents but nothing more.
Honestly are few people worthy of really being considered the best parent ever?

If that sounds harsh then it's how I feel. I feel that to be considered of that value, then you really have to earn it.

Error #2: Focusing too much on your child getting good grades at all but not involving them in any social activities, sports, self-defense or other actual ability/skill. Having good grades isn't a skill... it's just memory and being a good student.

It's difficult to say whether or not any particular individual deserves to be called the "best parent ever," as parenting is a complex and multifaceted role that involves a wide range of skills, traits, and behaviors.
While some parents may excel in certain areas, such as providing emotional support, setting boundaries, or encouraging academic success, no parent is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Additionally, what makes a "good" parent can vary depending on cultural, social, and individual factors.
Instead of focusing on the label of "best parent ever," it may be more helpful to focus on specific behaviors or traits that are important for providing a healthy and supportive environment for children. This can include things like showing love and affection, providing consistent discipline and boundaries, fostering independence and autonomy, and encouraging open communication and honesty.
Ultimately, it's important to recognize that parenting is a challenging and imperfect process, and that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses as a parent. Rather than seeking perfection or comparison to others, the goal should be to strive for continuous improvement and growth as a parent, and to provide the best possible environment for your child's physical, emotional, and psychological development.
at this point... we should settle for good and decent
True. I'm planning to have a child soon and will definitely raise him/her different and way better than them. Personally I'll be focusing more on social skills and them being streetsmarts than bookworm. I'd rather have a C student at school but great at other skills and isn't getting bullied than an A student that's very naive and works for bosses all the time.
well... I've been partially raising my niece but I'm aiming for balance
I did teach her to get perfect grades, because grades can be easy to get... I've been teaching her how to learn better and also how to learn on her own
as for streetsmarts, onlinesmarts and social skills, yeah... a good sense of rational thinking as well as critical thinking are a must
definitely not an easy thing to do... and not matter how well you prepare for it but some things will be learned on the go and only till they start to happen, and these both goes for the kids as well as the parents
Depends if they are tremendously great I guess. How are you? Did u find a man yet
