I think that's really when you're raising your kids (hopefully in your 30s). That's when you look back and say "this isn't so hard, wtf were they doing?" "How could they have done that to their kid?" and you can't believe anyone ever thought that was ok. When you haven't been a parent you're more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but once you are that goes away.
