Some parents think all parents must be like they are. In reality there are all types of parents. Some parents are normal, some parents dont give a #####, while others are on the other end of the extreme in being over protective. Some parents dont really care about their kids. Look how many deadbeat dads there are. Usually people focus on the financial aspect of it and dads trying to avoid paying child support. But those same dads usually arent involved in their kids lives at all, often times they havent ever even seen their child since birth. Theres also terrible mothers who have the grandparents take care of the kid because being a mother doesnt fit their lifestyle. The point is that saying someones view is the way it is because they dont have kids isnt always an accurate statement. Sometimes people just have different feelings towards kids and parenthood and it will apply when they have their own kids.

The overprotectiveness really gmgs. My infant kid has a rare medical condition that will legitimately keep him from playing certain sports, or even be one of those kids that has to wear a helmet playing volleyball. I am sure we will, or have already, be judged for the protective gear he wears. I am not worred about it because once it is explained to people, they understand. What gmgs about what you described, is that despite this, one of the first things the doctors told us is to take every effort for our kid to be as normal as possible, so he doesnt turn out to be a weird bubble kid. These kids that are over protected need to be able to take risks.
