[quote=Anonymous]As with most things in life, moderation and consideration of context is everything. I see nothing wrong in occasional departures from responsibilities and expectations. What is life about anyway? No just following rules, that is for sure. At the same time, I counsel students for a living and have seen damage done when parents are too lenient about the rules, including student attendance and honoring commitments. Some of the college students I work with are just accustomed to skipping school or having other exceptions made for them, and they have no idea what to do when they eventually encounter a situation where there is no leeway given and they must toe the line or else. The world won't always bend to your will. You either accommodate, or you make excuses and accept the consequences.[/quote]
