I read threads on here and I am sure it must just be written words and not true thoughts.
They appear to express the worry that this is my form of parenting and it must be consistent forever from both direct parents and every other adult and any other form of adult response to them will damage my child. Whereas I think that exposure to lots of different adult responses.
It's like if you choose to be for example 'unconditional parent' then any exposure to conditions will damage your children. Or being strict with organic, home-made food means that someone else handing them a candy bar is abusive?
Does anyone else think that bringing children up in a bubble so that they think there is only one way that people will react to them is far more dangerous than someone saying to your child "eat up all your greens there's a good boy/girl" when you don't care what they eat?
