(well, at my last school anyway in a more affluent neighborhood) The parents are horrible! And they don't think they are which is the sad part. You are enabling your kids- making them dependent, irresponsible and they can't even think for themselves. I always had a sign in my room that said, "Before you ask me, first think, then turn to a buddy, THEN if you still don't know ask me". God, to have to actually TELL someone to think. Sigh.

It blows my mind sometimes. I confess I have been a helicopter parent, and don't really ever know how to stay balanced.

I think we have raised too many kids that have no idea how to make a decision or fend for themselves. They also have no concept of consequences either. Only "mommy said"!Buggyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590736331252340222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-48905034559987095032009-08-19T13:31:07.194-07:002009-08-19T13:31:07.194-07:00We had breaks in our schedules and WE LIKED IT!
