Thanks for the conversation and the compliments as well! I do think a combination of both is honestly ideal and I don't have any points of contention with what you have said.

As for Rothbard be warned, he does have some very different views. While he says a child can assert their independence and self-ownership and leave he also says a parent should not be forced to feed or care for a child, though they can't actually aggress upon them. Also he is an anarcho-capitalist and from what I have read, you are not the biggest fan of capitalism.
