I am tolerable of how others raise their children unless they let them run wild and disturb others. I will raise my kids how I see fit and expect the next person feels the same way.

There are definitely wrong things you can do to make you (general you) a bad parent, (like not keeping a close eye on your toddler, or throwing a rock at your kid or anything that everyone else is going to be thoroughly disgusted with you for) and there are other things that have to be done right and can only be done the one way (like spanking a child if they do something dangerous so they don't repeat the action and get hurt) but there's other stuff that's flexible, (like what you cook for dinner). Of course every parent believes their way is the right way. You wouldn't want to raise your kid the wrong way or any way other than the right way, but different parents prioritize different things, and strictly believe that. I grew up in the 90s and we had dinner together as a family every night like in the 50s. I always thought this was weird because none of my friends families did this and for them family dinners once in a while were a big deal and something special, whereas I thought mine were torture because not only did my parents want to eat as a family they wanted to talk about everyone's day at the dinner table. I still think the way they did it was kinda stupid. But was the way my parents did it wrong? No. And I still love and respect my parents despite their funny little dinner routine.
