Studies of identical twins raised apart, like MISTRA, show remarkable similarities in life outcomes and big five personality traits. There's a big genetic component, and the time spent with parents is dwarfed by time spent with others once they start school, so the role of parenting style on life outcomes would have to have a significant outsized effect compared to all other life experiences.
If I recall correctly, absent neglect or abuse, parental influence doesn't matter as much as people think.
Citation, please?

This isn't really a citation, and your twins-study outcomes argument blaming genetics also undermines every other conclusion of TFA.
