Parents dont matter?

Judith Rich Harris has made some headlines with her book "The Nurture Assumption." I have not read the book but have read her essays and articles about her and it seems she has a pretty good argument that parenting does not matter.

I think it does fit my own view that kids are pretty resilient, as long as they arn't abused they will do ok, or not.

Of course parental affluence makes a big difference for how well kids do in life...
