This takes my statement to the extreme. My opinion is much more 
balanced than this. I'm no Pulpheart Clabberhead. (WDC 92)

I don't know if I understand what you mean. 

Donald's parenting, for example, contains about every direction of 
parenting. In some stories, he's heavily influental (and sometimes 
obviously misguided in being that way). In other stories, the nephews 
are more of a parent to Donald. I think that Donald has tried about 
every type of parenting, not only the influental type.
