It’s pretty well known that parenthood is one of the most difficult yet incredibly rewarding things that anyone could do in their life. If our sole biological purpose as human beings is to procreate and carry on offspring, then parenthood can also be considered the single most important thing that people could ever do. What’s interesting is that, despite how much importance we weigh on this responsibility and privilege to be able to raise a child, there exist a good number of misconceptions and myths about parenthood. Whether this misinformation is coming from those who’ve never been parents before or perhaps from parents of several generations ago, it’s interesting to see how standard parenting practices and how to be the best parent ever can change throughout time.

Now, in the interest of providing advice to new or expecting parents, let’s go ahead and dive into some of this misinformation about being a parent. Parenting is far from easy, but knowing the right information definitely helps!
Myth: The Age Of Two Is Always A Difficult Time
Right off the bat, in fairness, helping your child safely grow up in the world is always going to be a trying experience no matter who you are. The “twos”, or the period of time between 18 months to 30 months for your baby, are only terrible if you’re unprepared. If you’re anywhere near a normal parent who obviously wants the very best love and care for your child, then we trust that you’ll make it a point to be prepared for all stages of your child’s life.
It is true that sometime during this stretch, it’s practically certain that your sweet, seemingly-innocent baby will grow a feisty, stubborn toddler-like temperament. Yes, dealing with this can be overly taxing, especially if you have multiple kids. Just remember to keep your eye on the positive side of things and know that your child will eventually grow out of this.
Myth: You Should Never Bribe Your Child Under Any Circumstances
To be clear, bribing your child is almost always a bad idea, and we’re not recommending that you do so. However, if you avoid bribing 98 percent of the time, there’s definitely some useful value in those 2 percent of situations where decent behavior just seems impossible. Promising to buy something at the end of the day so that they’ll cooperate isn’t all that bad, again, so long as it is not a habitual thing. Needless to say, on a practical level, bribery costs money, and it also loses its effectiveness pretty quickly. You’ll also want to avoid resorting to bribery whenever possible because you don’t want to be sending a message along the lines of this: “You don’t have to behave like a civilized human being unless there’s something in it for you.”
Myth: Babies Who Walk And Talk Early Are The Smartest Of Their Peer Group
You would naturally assume that this is true. However, as it turns out, earlier-than-average talking and walking skills are relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of life. If anything, these highly noticeable developmental milestones are more of a measure of motor development as opposed to IQ or intellect. Both talking and walking require normal nerve growth which occurs at its own pace in each child.
Myth: Having A Baby Ruins Sex Indefinitely
Having a baby does not ruin your sex life; it changes it. Sex can very well return to its pre-baby norm - the trick is for couples not to put too much pressure on themselves, be patient, and let the physical intimacy return slowly. Keep in mind that your sexual triggers will likely change as well. Instead of lingerie or that nice dress shirt, something as seemingly non-sexual as a good night’s sleep and a trusted babysitter could do more in the way of getting your hormones going.
Myth: Parents Shouldn’t Have Disagreements In Front Of Their Children
It’s difficult to generalize this myth. If the parents are violently lashing out at each other and raising their voices to uncomfortable levels, this should not happen in front of the child (and, quite frankly, should not happen at all in light of a happy and healthy marriage). However, calm, low-volume and rational blame-free discussions are something different. If your child is old enough to roughly grasp what is going on, they might very well learn valuable life lessons about conflict resolution in the context of a healthy adult relationship.

Doing A Good Job
No parent wants to admit that they’re doing a bad job at being a mom or dad, and the truth is that it will never be a perfect experience for anyone - that’s just not how parenting was designed. According to a Pew research poll, most parents report that they feel like they’re doing a good job raising their kids, and this is fairly consistent across different income groups. Indeed, nearly identical shares of parents with incomes of $75,000 or higher (46%), $30,000 to $74,999 (44%) and less than $30,000 (46%) say that they are doing a very good job as parents, with similar shares saying that they’re doing a good job.
What’s interesting is that these parental self-assessments don’t differ by income, but there is some variance across other demographic divides, such as gender and generation. Among all parents, more mothers than fathers say they are doing a very good job raising their children (51% vs 39%), and Millennial mothers are particularly inclined to give themselves a positive rating. Nearly six-in-ten or 57% of moms ages 18 to 34 say that they are doing a very good job as a parent, representing a higher share than Millennial dads (43%) or any other generational group.
Being Overprotective
This one might not come as too much of a surprise, but in the same poll, mothers turned out to be more overprotective than fathers. About six-in-ten parents or 62% said that they can sometimes be overprotective, while a quarter of respondents said that they tend to give their children a little too much freedom. In several key ways, mothers and fathers approach parenting from a different angle. Mothers are more likely than fathers to say that they can be overprotective as well as give in a little too quickly and excessively praise their children. This might be because mothers generally tend to have more extensive support networks that they rely on for advice about parenting. This means that mothers are much more likely than fathers to turn to family members and friends as well as parenting resources like books, magazines, and online articles.
Importance Of Identity
There is at least one key area identified in the Pew survey where gender did not make a difference. In what could be considered “wholesome” data, mothers and fathers are equally likely to say that being a parent is extremely important to their overall identity. In the poll, about six-in-ten moms (58%) and dads (57%) reported this, and an additional 35% and 37% reported that being a parent is very important to their overall identity, respectively.
A Healthy Balance Of Parental Involvement
When it comes to parental involvement in their child’s education and other matters, this is where things become a little more polarized. About half of respondents (53%) of those with school-age children reported that they were satisfied with their level of engagement, whereas the other 46% said that they wish they could be doing more. Another interesting point is that most parents generally don’t think children should feel bad about getting poor grades, so long as they are trying hard. Totally fair, right? Well, on the flipside, about half of respondents (52%) said that they would be “very disappointed” if their children were average students. Is this indicative of overly strict or harsh parenting? It’s not up to us to decide, but it’s an interesting thought to consider.

Whoever said that parenting was easy has probably never been a parent ever before. Parenting will throw you and your partner through loops you never imagined were possible, subjecting you two to trials and tribulations that test the integrity of your relationship. Now, with that being said, parenting is also quite possibly one of the most rewarding experiences that a human being could go through, and here at DBC Baby Bedding Co, we really value giving the gift of life. Let’s just say that parents deserve more than a little credit when it comes to being the heroes of procreation.

Myth: Parents Shouldn’t Tell Their Kids No
Contrary to popular belief, it’s okay to tell your kids that they shouldn’t have or do something - you don’t have to be the “Yes Man” of parenting. Setting limits actually teaches kids various skills and also helps them feel safe, according to Maui clinical psychologist Heather Wittenberg. Saying “no” doesn’t hurt your child so long as it is done in a respectful and appropriate manner as opposed to a hostile or aggressive tone. The context is far more important than the actual word “no.”
Other examples of helpful, healthy limit setting include suspending your teen’s cell phone privileges if they aren’t meeting their responsibilities (something that’s way down the line for all of you new parents, but hey, it’s never too early to start giving it some thought). When your baby is of toddler age, as another example, taking them out of a party setting until he calms down and expresses his frustrations in words is another healthy and constructive way of saying “no, I’m not going to tolerate that kind of behavior.”
Myth: Your Marriage Will Survive Total Neglect While Raising Kids
The marriage and eternal, loving bond between you and your partner is the whole reason behind having a child, so neglecting your relationship can result in disastrous consequences. While it is true that parenting is all-consuming, attention and focus on the quality of the marriage itself is required to be a successful parent.
Again, as we mentioned above, parenting is no easy feat - in fact, it’s one of the most challenging things that a person can go through. Couples might only communicate when there’s conflict, engage in individual activities, and not spend any time together without the kid(s) around. This causes the marriage to become one-dimensional, focusing solely on the parenting aspect while foregoing any extent of friendship or intimacy. This is not okay. Children tend to learn how to have close relationships by watching their parents do it, so set a good example for your growing kiddo by nurturing your connection with your partner. In this, each partner should be thanking, complimenting and touching each other, providing a source of strength and comfort for each other as well as the child during the everyday ins and outs of parenting.
Side note: Have fun without the kids! Hire a trusted babysitter and go on dates, picking activities that involve laughter, joy, and even something new. Activities that you used to enjoy together back in your younger days are also a great way to keep the spark of the relationship going strong.
Myth: If Your Kids Aren’t Happy, You’re Parenting Incorrectly
In the United States, there’s a huge emphasis on happiness in our culture, so if your kids aren’t happy most or even all of the time, many parents start to worry about what they’re doing wrong. Really, it’s completely normal for your children (and all people in general) to experience a range of emotions. Kids aren’t exempt from experiencing the same highs and lows that adults feel, which actually leads to a much richer and in-depth life as opposed to a more “monochromatic” life.
Each of us is naturally born with a range of emotional experiences and capabilities. It’s healthy to be able to feel and deal with all of them. So, if your growing child is going through a hard time or they just seem upset for little to reason, be there for them - whether lending an ear or providing sage advice, parenting is all about being accessible for your child when things are great and when things aren’t so great.
It’s worth noting that persistent unhappiness with your child may be problematic. This could be a sign that your child is struggling with depression, in which your child constantly cries, has low energy and disrupted sleep. Other kids may be more irritable, agitated and even hostile. Pay attention to how your kid is acting and discuss it with your partner.
