[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see this type of parenting. I’m an older millennial (married to Gen X and have a lot of of friends in that age group). So maybe it skipped a generation?

Or is this an SES thing? I live in a close-in UMC neighborhood and the parents I see are generally involved and reasonable about parenting. Not a bunch of screaming, but no trantruming kids either (at least at the elementary level). The only ones I know like that have SNs and the parents are doing their best to get them help.

I’m curious what demographic this seems to be having this issue.[/quote]

I agree, similar neighborhood and when I see this on sites like this I don't relate. My friends don't spank and if they yell a bunch one day they'll usually say crap I'm feeling guilty about that one. But at least when with them they also generally do hold boundaries, give consequences when appropriate, have their kid leave somewhere if they're losing it etc. All reasonable parenting. And I'm one of the SN parents that does sometimes have a tantrum here and there and am definitely not like "shrug" or just letting it impact others.[/quote]
