[quote=Anonymous]I am a different parent than my parents, for a lot of the reasons that the above posters have described. Mine were extremely in the "do as I say when I say it" mode and I often found it frustrating and hurtful as a child. I don't want to take it totally in the other direction and give my kid equal say in matters that she doesn't have the judgment to fully understand, but I do take her feelings and preferences into account a lot more. My parents meant well and were a lot more easy-going than their parents were - they were not high earners, but were frugal and non-stop workers, so were able to give us treats that seemed like wildly spoiling us compared to their backgrounds, and now I suppose I've taken it a step farther with my child.[/quote]
