[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 464394, member: 11791"] Just to put another spin on things... this whole "parents not accepting dxes" thing? Can be... partly caused by them looking in the rear-view-mirror and not liking what they see. Some parents expect their kids to "validate" their parenting style by raising the next generation using the same approach. When we take a different approach, its like thumbing our noses at [I]their[/I] parenting style - or at least, they take it that way. We are "proving them wrong". And they don't like it because it proves that [I]they had options too.[/I] Try taking two sets of parents with the same belief (validate my parenting style), but the two sets are on opposite ends of the spectrum... Ummm... obviously not going to work no matter what we do. So we HAD to go our own way. Turns out, for the better anyway. But... both sets of parents have next-to-disowned us over this. [/QUOTE]
