    My children sleep with us if they want to
    eat when they want to (but not WHAT they want)
    they are surrounded by love and kindness and care as much as possible
    we give them boundaries for their own happiness (a child always pushing boundaries is not happy)
    and we just generally shower them in love.


    Seems to be working pretty well so far ;)

    I am surprised by that. I suppose it qualifies you.

    I'm going to agree with you despite your grammar/spelling woes..


    I'd like to add to your last sentence, " You aren't their best friend, but if you raise them right TODAY, then you will become one of their closest friends when they get older."

    It's the dad's job to be hard and the mom's job to spoil. I have the role of both. My kids probably will think I'm bipolar.

    While I agree, its not YOUR job to tell others how to raise their kids unless their child somehow harms you

    le sigh.

    oh sure.

    every child abusing **** face on this website is going to read this thread and think to themselves that what they are doing is just fine. Be a bit more specific about what you mean by being "hard on them now" lest some jerk who beats the crap out of his kids and tells them they are worthless thinks you are talking about *that* style of parenting.

    well h them obviously does not mean beat your kid. It means setting rules, holding them accountable and not giving in to their every whim. Its our job t be firm and not necessarily be "liked"
