This is so true.
We are going brought court right now with my husband's ex, a woman who has had a veritable penis parade through her home the past 6 years and blatantly uses the kids to spite their father when he "crosses" her (crossing being, filing for emergency y custody when the school reported her to cps)
The lawyer has done wonders for him, but he told us the parenting standard is VERY low. If your kids are fed, sheltered, and clothed and not being beaten or raped, it's good enough unless you have an unlimited lawyer fund.

Some people who have had children or siblings murdered or lost in car accidents have been posting on dad's FB page (I hope that's within TOS to say?). I think they've got some interesting comments re: how people react in the immediate aftermath of a loss. Suffice it to say: I think the Ammermans have been misjudged by some of us (and by "us," I mean me).
On another note: Millions of kids across the country are living similar lives to Shaylyn, with parents who are, to quote another poster, "half-assing" it. The vast majority will grow up just fine because, to be honest, most kids throughout history most likely grew up with parents who "half-assed" it. Hover-parenting is a relatively new phenomenon. I'm not sure that parenting style necessarily equates with love, and as long as a child is genuinely loved, they'll be okay, imo.
All moo, imo.
