This has to do with how many associate parenting by financial status. To be blunt, the research says people with less money are not as good at parenting as those people with a lot of money.
I completely disagree with this idea. Although the article clearly states how both sides of the spectrum have things to offer, the rich gaining more opportunity and the poor recieving more attention, I still feel the need to make my point clear.
Even imagining that the competence of parents relies on their annual salaries is foolish.
Weissbourd, the auhor of this article, does a fine job of explaining this statement. To enhance this further, I feel the need the protect the less fortunate from the back-lashing of a hypocritical society.
The poor , nowadays more common than before, don't deserve this kind of criticism. The poor have enough to suffer from, and now they get it socially too.
What matters in parenting is how much time, how much attention, and how much love that those parents provide for their children.
Those poor families in Mexico, threatened by the drug cartel, living on barely anything, stay family orrientated and loving throughout the difficulties.
Go tell those families that they're bad at parenting, keeping a family alive, and providing to a suffering community. They'll laugh.
Know why? Because the ignorance of that statement is hilarious. So if anyone thinks that finances predetermines the abilities of the parents, than that person is dead wrong.
