[quote=Anonymous]In real life, most people would only talk about negative things with family members — including kids — with very close friends or with professionals, such as sharing a concern with a doctor or a teacher. So having such conversations with coworkers or neighbors or even casual friends would be unusual, unless it was directly related to an immediate concern. (So, a neighbor witnessing misbehavior, for example.) It would be very unusual for even a close friend to initiate a conversation focused on the negative behavior of someone else’s child, although if the parent initiated the conversation, it’s fine. The issue here isn’t so much “perfect” kids or their self esteem, but what kinds of personal, “ family business” gets discussed with people outside of the family. This is my experience, although my experiences my be far from universal. [/quote]
