The problem with parents today is that want to be their kid's best friend, instead of being a PARENT and preparing them for adult hood


Do they ever call you?
Seems like you have a lot of time to yourself to post here.

Simply forcing kids to grow up fast isn’t all there is. Teaching them to be responsible and kind to others is more important. Building ingrained toughness can be done by encouraging them to try things they aren’t great at, things with a high degree of failure. After all, the most successful people are the ones who can fail over and over again and keep trying until they succeed.

Also, success doesn’t mean just money and things. To me, success is also community, and if you can’t manage to live in community with your own children, it’s not their fault, it’s yours.

I guess the difference is, I don’t want my kids to be struggling against me. I make rules and I stick to them very tightly! But I also explain the reasons for them, that they are in place to help us be safe and healthy and accomplish our daily goals. So no staying up until 11PM eating candy and playing video games on a school night, for instance.

The world will offer them plenty of challenges. I want to be their coach, offering rules, strategy, advice, and a home team. Their struggle shouldn’t be against me, but against the world and their own internal limitations.

It's worse than that, they moved back to the state and bought a house within 2 miles of us. They're over here (with my grandkids) all the time. And guess what, we actually have a "time out" corner that's been used for the grandkids a few times. Isn't that being really mean?

Yet, those grandkids want to come over ALL the time and never want to leave. Such mean grandparents


That's horrible. I would move.
