"Are you a tiger mother, a soccer mom, a helicopter parent, and attachment mom, a permissive free spirit who just wants your child to be herself? Congratulations. Your kids have a good chance of turning out reasonably well. Not because you are parenting genius who has hit on the perfect method but because you have the time and energy and cultural capital to give your child what he needs to be successful in today's world no matter what child-raising method you choose. You are probably not, for example, poor, homeless, functionally illiterate, socially isolated, an addict, in prison, living in substandard housing, working three low-paid jobs - or unemployed for life... your ex may have run off with your best friend, your apartment may be too small, you may hate your job - but you are still a white-collar, college educated, middle class person."

 
In the words of Katha Pollitt from The Nation
