[quote=Anonymous]My kids are past ES now but our next door neighbor was like this for so many years, until her recent near-death experience. Her kids were only allowed one small snack after school and they had to do homework the second they walked in the door. Her house looked like something out of a magazine. My kids are a little older than hers but mine were always outside playing in the summers and hers were doing math for hours a day. She and her husband are ~15 years younger than my husband and I. We were unapologetically (and still are) totally free range. Like no rules. My daughter graduated hs in the top 1% of her class and her's is, well, a screw-up. She has had several boyfriends years older than her and is extremely rebellious. I only stumbled upon this forum recently. [/quote]
