[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP may be missing the point.  While kids may eat too much junk food, drink too much soda and play video games too late at night, the kids who were raised to help make their own decisions earlier in life are making better decisions on their own as a teen.

Same argument holds true for the college students that experience “freedom” their freshman year.[/quote]

No, I think you're missing the point.  Some kids who have overly permissive parents end up dead before they make it very far into their teens or make it to college. [/quote]

Holy overreaction. OP is talking about a bag of Oreos and somehow that is connected to overly permissive parents and dead teens…? This is next level catastrophic thinking.  [/quote]

Jaysus you are ridiculous. Read the post to which I was responding. "Kids may [make bad decisions] .... but kids who make their own decisions early in life are making better decisions on their own as a teen."  That's totally wrong.  Lots of kids who have absent or permissive parents that make their own decisions in life make the wrong ones, sometimes fatally so.  [/quote]

A parent who is supporting their kid and guiding them in learning to make decisions is the exact opposite of being "absent".
