[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen some super-nice parents that were basically too nice and didn’t discipline their kids and ended up with little terrors.  It definitely happens. [/quote]

I'm actually good friends with a mom of a girl like this.  She really wanted her child to have everything she didn't growing up and the kid basically rotted.  My daughter stopped hanging out with her because she said she was spoiled and didn't like how disrespectful she was to her parents!  She said "I'd never be allowed to behave that way!" I don't even know what the girl did most of the time.  Anyway, I'm still friends with her mom even though the kids aren't friends.  The mom tells me the girl is so difficult and she doesn't know what to do.  She is also fully aware she created this problem.  It's kind of sad because for over a decade I've been friends with her I remember so many times her caving because "she wanted her daughter to have things easier than she did".  It was all done out of love and well intended, just poorly thought out.  I grew up with rich neglectful parents, so I just wanted my kids to feel loved.  I didn't spoil them materially or by being permissive.  I was very very present as a parent.  My kids (3 are adults; 1 in HS) are successful, happy, healthy, and have great relationships with us and their friends.[/quote]
