[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that you have to consider how you would like to be treated and treat your children that way.

So many times people act like tweens and teens are from a different planet.  If it were you being dropped off so early would you like it?  When you are in the nursing home, will you mind waiting in the foyer to be picked up (in your wheelchair) for over 2 hours to suit someone else?

What exactly is it that you husband is trying to teach your son?  That he better get used to getting the short stick in the family?  I just don't get these other parent's comments.  [/quote]

Um, the two hours at school could and should be spent studying.

OP is saying that the kid won't do that unless she's standing over him. That's the definition of helicoptering. As is making a 30 mile trip just so your snowflake doesn't have to fill two hours on his own.

DH is teaching the kid discipline and the fine art of being productive without someone standing over you. OP is teaching the kid that he's the center of the universe and will never have to endure a moment of discomfort or boredom.
