-Freedoms that are seen as dangerous and the various ages when they’re allowed. Walking to school without a parent, staying home alone, going to the playground without a parent, taking the bus without a parent, etc, etc.

And I’ve never seen this in real life, but here on DCUM, shower/bath frequency is one that evokes heated responses. [/quote]

Those shower/bath threads make me laugh because I'll be nodding along like "yeah, once a week is too infrequent, that's gross" and then someone will be like "my children bathe twice a day and must change their clothes immediately upon entering the house from outside" and suddenly the once-a-week parents seem chill and reasonable. Perspective is everything.[/quote]

I’m a parent that makes their kids change when they come in the house and I know it makes me seem over the top.  Our playground has a sandbox and lots of mulch and I just think it’s easier to immediately change than vacuum it up later in the spare time that I don’t have.  I know it seems extreme but it’s seriously so much easier to keep it out of the house than to clean it up later.  But yeah I’m sure many people think I’m nuts.[/quote]

We not talking about you boo we talking about the Howard Hughes of the world [/quote]
