No - it's consistancy.

No one...well - there really are people who don't care - but ...let's see...how to put this.

My best friend is 30 and has no kids, but has got to watch us all raise ours. She also can pick out the things that are wrong. I can too. But I'm the parent.

No one wants to be a shitty mean or crazy parent (except said people above). It's alot harder than it looks.

But I already know you and your wife will be fine parents just from how you interact with each other. If you look around - those screamy meammy parents and those "what I forgot already" parents probably don't interact with each other very well either. If your wife and yourself are on the same page on ALMOST everything and you're consistant - you'll raise a fine little Lumpy Millicent. :)

Oh yeah - and pick up a copy of Freakonomics and read the rather short chapter on parenting!
