Parenting Doesn't Matter

Some people have looked at these findings and concluded that parenting doesn't matter, that you would have become the same person you are to day regardless of who raised you. On the other hand, these findings are not all that shocking if you think about how the same parent could shape different children in different ways. One child might find it helpful when her mother provides structure. Her sister might find it stifling. So jean's influence didn't explain everything. The environment mattered too. Just something in the environment that didn't shape children growing up in the same home to be more alike.
