I'm not sure where the Constitution guarantees the right to be a lousy parent.
It looks to be a matter for the states.

I'm not sure where the Constitution guarantees the right to be a lousy parent. It's right next to the clause that says the state must prevent bad parenting.

I'm not sure where the Constitution guarantees the right to be a lousy parent. Where does it guarantee the right to not be a lousy parent? Quality of parenting is not a Constitutional issue. That kind of thinking smacks of a nanny state mentality.

I'm not sure where the Constitution guarantees the right to be a lousy parent. It doesn't.
Nor does it give the government the right to anything not specifically outilined in the document. "Parenting" is among those items in which the government has no right to interfere.

I'm not sure where the Constitution guarantees the right to be a lousy parent. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Amendment IX
Does this help?
