OP, your words matter. Instead of how you view parenting, in other families, the kid is deciding. Or forgetting. Or is expected to take a coat and doesn't, because they don't want to. The kid may be getting-out-the-door on their own, more independently. Maybe all on their own, parent not home when the kid leaves for school. Greater independence may have a more significant positive result vs the poor decision re: a coat[/quote]

Poster child for lazy parenting right here. It's your job to make sure your kids get out in the world prepared for the day. It's why they don't live on their own yet.[/quote]

Eh some kids learn better the hard way. They aren't all rule following robots who never push boundaries with authoritative parents making all the decisions for them.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that. The rest of us know you're failing as a parent. [/quote]

Ha. Your kids are the ones who show up at college completely lost and flailing. Keep telling yourself you’re raising independent kids who can think for themselves. [/quote]

Awwww, you're so desperate. Your dumb nonsense is not working. My 22 year old is working full time, living on her own and going to college. My 20 year old is working full time and lives on her own completely independent. My 16 year old is doing great in HS and is on his way to an engineering program. I just didn't blame them for being a shitty parent and actually instituted some rules when they were young. Try it and see how it goes.[/quote]

You do you, babe. Nobody really cares.[/quote]
