[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the posters who insist that their rules are somehow more valid than the rest of our rules simply because they explain their rules, to you I say:  Wow!  Thank you so much for inventing the concept of an explanation!  The rest of us have all just been issuing draconian orders to our children since the time they emerged from our wombs. Good thing you came along and explained the concept of a conversation

If you seriously think that anyone who is "strict" (a concept the rest of these posters seem to define as "has more/different rules than I do") has never bothered to explain the logic behind any of their rules, then you are seriously missing a clue.  EVERYONE I know explains their logic to their kids, but not every kid cares.[/quote]

Then clearly you are not the parent I am talking about...if you read the posts, my problems are with parents who are clueless and don't talk to their kids - not the ones who have different rules than mine. Stop being defensive and be confident that you are not the parent who comes across as clueless. Also, admit that you know plenty of parents who just simply don't know what their kids are doing, but truly believe they do. As the PP stated - jokes on them...[/quote]
