[quote=Anonymous]I seriously dislike how almost every one of my peers becomes when they become parents. No matter how cool and regular they act, deep down they all harbor some notion of -- my life began when I had DC -- OMG it's SO meaningful; and I'll fight to the death for my DC bc you don't understand she REALLY is special, much more than any other kid ever -- and I don't mean they'll fight in a health or welfare kind of way but in a "dammit you owe it to my snowflake to not disappoint them, let them be a brat, or give them whatever accommodation I feel they deserve."

Seriously -- even my peers, friends, coworkers who seem to be "go with the flow" parents let it be known in small ways that their family is THE BEST. And when you don't act that way and parent in an "old school" way -- i.e. I'm here to feed/clothe/shelter/love but I don't need to entertain you or always tell the school my kid is right and I am allowed to have my own life still -- then I'm not a loving parent. In reality I'm the way parents were in the 60s or 70s, and I feel like current parents have lost their ever loving minds. I seriously have ONE friend who behaves the same way -- also a very traditional view -- but [gasp] she'll have an adult conversation and make it clear that little Aidan is to go play and not to butt into adult talk . . . .
