[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to just ignore all the dcum on their soap box. It’s honestly not worth engaging. Wait until their children go crazy in college because of the “hard no”[/quote] They are probably already doing it, to be honest. The strictest parents often, but not always, had the wildest kids. They just got very good at lying to their parents.[/quote] Sounds like you are rationalizing parents who have set boundaries. Strict isn't the same as being 100% clear on something that isn't tolerated for a child's wellbeing. Swap alcohol with cigarettes and over 50% of the parents who think it's important to "train" their kids on proper drinking would change their tune. Also, better to start drinking in college than high school based on all the data. Overly permissive parents often struggle with setting their own personal boundaries and blur the lines for their kids in dysfunctional ways.[/quote]
