I had an interest talk with a friend the other day about raising kids. I have 3 children, all grown up, who turned out very well. All are reasonably happy, no drugs, and have never been in trouble. All are Black Belts in Hapkido.
The conversation was about how in some homes it is the children who are running the show. The parents are almost afraid of the kids. Sad, but often a reality.
I have also heard parents talk about having a strict upbringing when they were young, and how they did not want to make the mistakes of their parents. "I will never do the things my dad did!" Now before you say this, ask yourself how you turned out? Are you a happy, successful, well adjusted adult? If so, I would say Mom and Dad did a good job. Follow that lead!
My parents were strict and loving. They prepared me for adult life. Parents that is your job! Giving in to the politically correct BS being taught now does not work. Teach your child well and prepare them for their life ahead. Don't give in and prepare them for failure.
