[quote=Anonymous]I’m a permissive parent. Apparently Jellyfish is the term, it’s like the anti-Tiger mom. I don’t do it intentionally- it’s just how parenting is manifesting. DH is frustrated with my parenting style. He is tired of being the bad cop. I’m not sure how to change. I had many years of fertility treatments, multiple miscarriages and a complicated pregnancy which caused some health issues for DD and me. I also had strict parents that went overboard with pressure/expectations (see only child thread) which resulted in a nervous breakdown in my late teens. After years of therapy to chill out, I just can’t get myself to sweat the small stuff anymore -cookie before dinner, ok. Another book at bedtime, eh. I’m not letting kid set off fireworks or do anything crazy. Kid is delightful - parents and teachers always comment how good she is. So, do I need to change? And how? [/quote]
