[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one kid who I think is in the let's make brownies and braid each other's hair crowd and one who would 100 percent be sneaking out and up to things.

BUT...the older they get the brownie/hair braiders will surprise you.

As a parent, I think the "my child would never.." type of parenting is ego-filled and also my observation is plenty of parents are clueless about their own children.  Hell, maybe I am. [/quote]

I think assuming that the hair-braiding bakers will automatically turn into sneaky booze hounds isn’t founded by any kind of evidence.  I don’t subscribe to the “my child would never” philosophy, but I also don’t assume that my kids will do whatever I did, either.  Both types of parenting are ego-driven, even if they manifest differently.[/quote]

Didn’t say anything was automatic.  The point is most kids want to experiment at some point and push boundaries.  It’s part of growing up.  [/quote]

That's still an assumption, i don't really think it's most. It's not part of growing up, kids grow up just fine without experimenting.[/quote]

Not sure if you consider drinking alcohol prior to 21 experimenting but most of them are definitely going to do that.[/quote]
