I'm not saying he WOULD give them alcohol I'm saying things happen. It's your child. Go with your gut is my opinion. Anything could happen. | ||

yes but at the same time being too overprotective will lead to many bad things. Kids that are so protexted from the outside world have many issues when they finally get there. Drinking in college, not knowing what to do in bad situations because they were nevere faced with problems kinda things. I am not saying that you should let her go but you do have to be cautious not to put your own fears onto children.

I really feel bad for kids who have over protective parents. One of my co-workers...she won't let her kids play in the front yard. They aren't allowed to open the windows in the house either...in case someone might see that 2 girls live there. They can't have candy or sweets...like...ever. The list goes on and on. When I talk to the mom, it's obvious she loves her daughters, and is just protecting them...but man...it's like they are missing out on childhood. | ||

Why because she won't let them open their windows? Maybe she has air? Maybe she takes them to a park? No reason to feel bad. Children are going to make their own choices when they grow up and I doubt closed windows will have an impact! Geesh. | ||

That is not good, obviously that mother is way to cautious, kids need fresh air and if she won't open windows just for the fear of girls live there, she is going to have even more issues with these children

I don't think air is the issue. It's more like...she doesn't want anyone walking/driving by the house to see that girls live there. I get it...it just seems...extreme. She told me a story once that she left her kids unsupervised once, and they went wild...porking out on sweets, guzzling soda...everything. lol It just made me think that when they get to be 16 or so, they will not be binging on food - maybe boys. | ||

I think it has to do with morals and values and what you are taught. It takes a community to raise a child. Chef, how can you say in good conscious that sheltering a child is what causes ADHD and such? That's nonsense. Maybe I am misunderstanding your opinion. | ||
