Why are so many parents DISHONEST and DEFENSIVE about their parenting?

When anyone posses a challenge to parents they usually get defensive, angry, abusive and HYSTERICAL which all goes to show that they must not truly believe in their own parenting skills or they would just laugh off any suggest that they are FAILURES as parents. Why are YOU so touchy and defensive instead of HONEST? You won't be the first parent in history to be inadequate but you might be the first parent to ever BE HONEST about it.

If I were a parents, I'd go find some help rather than counter-attack my critics with my head stuck in the sands of denial!

    Yeah, I agree with everything you said. They're self-absorbed. A lot verbally abuse their kids. Mothers worst nightmare is CPS taking their kid, I'm convinced they would rather the child die than see CPS take it. People are possessive of their kids, even the deadbeat absent fathers who call their kid's mom once every 3 months to shout, "I want to see MY kid!"
