 * Not all of the CSS from the parent theme, no. The only CSS you want in the child’s
   stylesheet is the custom changes that you want on your site.

 * So you are adding new, custom, CSS to your child theme’s stylesheet? Sorry but
   I’m getting a little confused here…

 * The only stylesheet you should be editing is the one belonging to your child 
   theme.
