[quote=Anonymous]I was basically a good kid as was my sibling.  I would get irritated because my mother would go to church sometimes and listen to this one priest she really liked who would talk about his experiences running a home for realllly trouble male teens.  Then my mom would come home and start a crack down.  (She was generally fairly permissive.)

I am an involved parent and fairly permissive with my kids.  I have good, responsible kids who make some mistakes (very minor) and will likely make some more significant mistakes but I don't expect it to be REGULARLY making bad choices.

I do believe that the average parent that reads and posts here is generally interested in getting a feeling for what teens are up to so I would highly suspect that they are more tuned in to teen stuff than the average parent so more likely to know what their kids are doing.

Sure--  we all have a few stories about the doopy parent who was talking about "promise rings" while their daughter was quickly becoming the class pass-around but I don't believe those are the norm.[/quote]
