[quote=Anonymous]Why is this such an all-or-nothing thing? Why can't people accept that this might vary by child/family? Some people seem to think that if a first grader is not packing his/her own lunch, they will certainly turn into a dependent, incapable "whiner." It's completely ridiculous. There are plenty of years between elementary school and college, during which kids will reach different milestones of independence at different times. The judgment and nastiness on this board is astounding. Guess what? Different parenting styles exist, children are all different, and your way is not always, by default, the "right" way. [/quote]
