In my opinion it's definitely easier than, say, Administration or Architecture, both Average skills...

...but then of course, if we imagine that Parenting is actually Average or Hard (based on how tough it is to learn Animal Handling or Diplomacy) then we must assume that most parents have fairly low Parenting skill and that possibly society as we know it is the result of a lot of failled skill rolls!

I don't have the slightest problem with that thought... I actually consider it very realistic.
