[QUOTE="LostSoul1, post: 677872, member: 19755"] What a great post! Very insightful and very true! I often talk about how resilent kids of our generation were in comparison to kids today. If i even attempted to do one tenth of all the stunts my son has pulled .... i would not have been alive to see the age of twenty! It is interesting with my parents, i rarely would speak to them about any situation i was dealing with...it was just an unspoken rule...YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF! Today, parents are no longer parents, they have become understanding friends who no longer parent and kids get confused so no wonder they push the limits and boundaries as they know they can get away with things and not take responsibility for themselves. I thought i was a far more better parent than my parents were as i feared them in a way....but looking back, i have more respect for them than ever, because they gave me the gift of 'figuring things out for myself'...and looking at all the obstacles i have overcome in my life, don't think i could have been able to, had they not been this way.
