I can definitely see myself as being the cool parent. I’d give my freedom to do what they want. I think when you’re too overprotective it causes kids too rebel. You need to let your kid go out and learn on their own. You can only do so much as far as telling them the right things to do, they have to learn on their own. If they were to get in trouble I wouldn’t be as mad as most parents. Depending on what they did I wouldn’t be that mad. I probably wouldn’t ground my kids, I was never grounded but still knew right from wrong. I would most likely just be disappointed when they did something wrong. I would make sure to teach my kid about respect and common sense. I wouldn’t want my kid to think he can do whatever he wants. They would still have to know how to have manners and respect other peoples things. Also, I’d teach them simple things like letting people go ahead of you, and checking both ways before crossing the street. It would be up to my kid the life they chose to live. Most things you learn are from your own experiences.
