I mean any animal for the matter. There isn't a "How to Parent Your Cub 101" book. . They do not have parents telling them how to care for a new life. So, for humans there are LOTS of "How To" books and specialists. Yet, there are so many adults that end up raising their children differently than how they were raised. Why? Is it how they were treated? Too many rules? Not enough time together? Neglect? Poverty?
Whatever the case, we often feel the need to "do it differently" than our parents.

My son seems to have a better social life then me.....
