[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was super controlling, to the point of being abusive. She still tries to be controlling, but I don’t play along anymore. My parenting style is relaxed. I’m lucky that my teen makes good decisions. I only step in when it’s needed, which is not very often. Kids, especially teens, need to learn to make decisions, and the cost of good and bad decisions. I was more militant when she was younger. That’s my biggest regret of parenting. Not only was it bad for our relationship, she was less likely to do things if it wasn’t of her own accord. [/quote] There is a diference between being a layed back parent vs. a parent with absolutely no expectations. Believe me: it's hard to understand this until you meet such a parent.[/quote]
