I think it definitely matters.

But I think parenting is more than just how you put your child to bed, feed them or clothe them. It is about how you nurture *THEM* not them as a child... but them as who they are individually. Allowing them the room to grow without criticism, passive aggression, emotional blackmail etc. Our personalities and how we treat others as well as our partners affects them more as people and grooms them more to be the person they will be more than how much money they have or if they are told they are loved (and yes this is very important... but if you tell a child you love them yet show them differently it doesn't work now does it?). This is my belief anyway.
