    They “know” their kids through the lense of their experience. So they’ve experienced more therefore they feel they know more.

    They’re making educated guesses outcomes. That’s not knowing.

      We’re all making educated guesses including about ourselves.

      It doesn’t really matter if you think you know yourself, external behaviors do.

          It was a light hearted joke about the definition of “knowledge,” which is notoriously slippery.
