My parents, mostly ...Overprotection is a bad thing! My parents, mostly mom thought they needed to think for me instead of allowing me to make my mistakes and learn from them. I left home at age 18 just so I COULD think for myself!! At least with my independent personality I did things for myself so I could get out of that hell hole.<br /><br />My first boyfriend/husband thought he needed to finish raising me since my own parents didn't want to. Where the hell he got that thought, I have no idea. Nobody asked him to!<br /><br />On the flip side of this, I had a friend whose mother didn't care one bit about her. We both agreed that we have bad mothers, and somewhere in the middle of these extremes would have had been better.<br /><br />BTW, a GOOD parent is one who'll give more responsibility to their child once that child proves they can handle it. Another friend had a teenaged daughter and he treated her like an adult when she did adult things, and when she acted like a child he treated her like a child. He had no sympathy for her when her grades went down just because she was either on the phone or playing games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081447.post-57247387685938439312010-06-22T19:56:38.330-07:002010-06-22T19:56:38.330-07:00I can not believe, read and read this information ...I can not believe, read and read this information and is spectacular, the overprotection cause such problems, I just thought to cause psychological problemsbuy cialishttp://www.softcialis.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081447.post-29830405008185667732010-03-23T07:58:45.186-07:002010-03-23T07:58:45.186-07:00??? So what they are saying is that an overprotect...??? So what they are saying is that an overprotective parent is just as bad as a neglectful parent? And what constitutes "overprotection" vs. "normal" protection? I can't think of a parent out there who doesn't believe that they are doing what's best for their children, even when someone else (or the law) thinks otherwise.<br /><br />Meanwhile, this is one more study (read: waste of money) that one side or the other will use against the other to "prove" that one is either "overprotective" or "neglectful." Meanwhile, the only people who benefit are the $400/hour lawyers.<br /><br />Seriously, I need to find out how to get grant money to fund research into <b><i>Legal Abuse Syndrome</i></b> and its effect on children.BusyHandzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759993251195439637noreply@blogger.com
