And in 10 years you can compare which colleges/universities and degrees each of these kids are graduating from.

I guarantee helicopter mom will be surprised. [/quote]

Why is this same sort of snark parroted here over and over? It's really not "helicopter" -- and by they you mean crazy and overbearing -- to not let you children eat garbage fast food and not let them become addicted to iPads/iPhones. It's actually HEALTHY and RESPONSIBLE. It's EASY to be a lazy ass parent who lets your kids be dullards who leave you alone while they're addicted to junk food, video games, iPads and whatever degeneracy and filth they can find online.

And then as a coping mechanism, you cling to the idea the kids raised better than yours will ACTUALLY turn out to be failures! I suspect you're the same trolls who obsessively post in the private school forum the same tired cliches about private school kids all being drug addicts. :roll: [/quote]

Being super strict like OP’s sister isn’t healthy and responsible.  Kids need to learn how to moderate themselves.  It is a skill, and best taught when you still have control over them if they are not able to do it successfully themselves.

My kids are in private school and all their friends play games together on IPads and occasionally have fries at the country club pool grill.[/quote]
