All three grew up to be highly successful: Susan is the CEO of YouTube, Janet is a doctor, and Anne is the co-founder and CEO of 23andMe.

So you raise at least two horrible people.

I would not brag about that if I were you.

If I could be the CEO of YouTube, I would be.

Of course, it would be a different YouTube.

I do agree on the child raising tips in the article. Helicopter parenting is detrimental to properly raising a child.

Does she mention she is one of God’s chosen people?

Kanye would point at this article, roll his eyes and say “sure, that was the reason”

All types of life skills… I wonder which ones Oskar Dirlewanger’s mom taught him?

Yeah, I can see messing up one of your kids but turning out two of such magnitude?

I mean, even Dahmer's parents managed to turn out one good one.

Make it three.

Just read some of her other daughter's articles.

High food insecurity in Latinx families and associated COVID-19 infection in the Greater Bay Area, California

I think it is safe to say this mom failed badly.

Well I figure you give your kids “choices” so they learn HOW to decide.

Actually the parents accused of "Helicopter parenting" now days are those that think perhaps their children should not find books on how to give blow jobs in their elementary school library.

I am sure this mom would be fine with that along with a whole bunch of other perversions.

Resent much? Feeling a little insecure about your accomplishments?

Our oldest is a bonafide rocket scientist, a valedictorian, and working on some of the Mars designs. Our daughter is a biomedical engineer working on heart devices at a large medical device firm.

The secret belongs to my wife. She read to them constantly from birth through when they could manage it themselves. She instilled curiosity in them, and a desire to learn and discover.

THAT — just behind teaching wholesome values — is the biggest thing you can do for your child to set them on a path for success.

Her daughter Anne Wojcicki married Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin. She is now his ex-wife. The marriage did not last very long.

She and Brin founded Passarrelle Investment Co in 2014, a real estate company focuses on redeveloping downtown Los Altos, CA. She leads Los Altos Community Investments development group. Some of her projects have been good. The new State Street Market (where the old Beau Sejour was located) is a really nice addition to town. Have you tried eating there yet? Great food and a nice ambience.

Poor little liberal.

Would you like a crying towel?

LOL. You’re the one whining because someone actually raised successful kids.

Why do you resent it?

“Don’t do anything for your kids that they can do for themselves”

Wow, that is probably the #1 argument I with my wife, make the kid do it herself.

One rule I made as a father; no one get a drivers license without two years experience with a lawnmower.

I also taught them how to use a toilet plunger. Rule number one for that task is “close your mouth”

Aw... poor little liberal. You really have problems with reading comprehension.

I at no point whined about anything. I pointed out an objective reality that you did not like. That does not change the fact that she raised horrible people.

You undoubtedly think Stalin's parents raised a "successful child" as well.

I know to you, like all liberals, you only measure success by the amount of money you manage to scam out of people and the number of people you manage to oppress but there are other standards.

I feel very sorry for you not knowing that.

Your kids are probably 10X smarter than the Witwicky brood, but they won’t be CEO’s or CFO’s because they weren’t raised ruthless, heartless sociopaths to do what their boss tells them to do (and go to the same church as their boss, but I’m sure that’s not it).
