[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653857, member: 1550"] Cedar, I really like your post. "What you think of me is none of my business." You just hopefully listen to your son, when he is in a bad mood, and let it go out your other ear, knowing he will change in a week. So many of us deal with off and on relationships it does get old and we just learn to do it. I had to laugh (sorry) about Dr. Spock, who is the only one I knew about. I thought he was a little fried in the brain, yet I did not run a strict household myself. I ran a child-centered home where, at least for my first two kids, we had the only Nintendo and tons of games in the area so bikes from around here would be almost to the end of our sidewalk and kids would always be over. I partly did it because Bart was so shy. I wanted him to have friends. He likes that I did it, when we talk about it today. He remembers our house as lots of fun. I can see him trying to do the same thing for Junior. Is it good? I don't know. It didn't make him lazy or entitled. Goneboy benefitted too, but I don't think it was as important to him. He was very charming (Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) trait) and also he was a good friend. He had grown up with his caregivers being his friends rather than adults (as he was to them) and he was always very comfortable with his peers. Adults were a bit different. It is amazing how these theories cycle out...seeing the results of a theory that takes off is always amusing, until the next one. Now we are Spock on steroids. Seems that kids get free cars, free cell phones, free tablets, free computers...heck, even beyond their younger years. And we wonder why so many are lazy!!!! [/QUOTE]
