I really disagree with that....maybe I've been really fortunate, but there have been lots of people I know who have taken a genuine interest and care for my kids. These can be other family members, parents of their peers, teachers and educators, coaches etc.
I also know that as a child, I really benefited from people who cared for me even though they weren't my parents.
