Nothing more to say. It's just really hard making decisions for little ones and not so little ones. In fact the bigger the little ones are, the tougher the decisions get. The more resistance, the more options and things parents need to decide on. The more justification needed for deciding the opposite to what the child wants to happen.
@yo-its-me saidThe joys of Parenthood. You don't get a booklet on it and learn by making lots of mistakes. 🙂

@yo-its-me saidI would hazard a guess there are probably 500,000 books in English on the joys of parenthood, many of them extremely good and which enable parents to avoid making lots of mistakes.

@fmf saidBooks don't always work, although you probably think they are the solution to everything, they are NOT! 😛 🙂

There are probably as many books on Chess, which haven't done you any good. Point Proven??
You could study them all and know them and still make mistakes, called being human! 🙂

Disclaimer: The previous post was in no way shape or form a question if FMF has any kids. The poster wouldn't dream of asking such a personal question on a chess website forum.
Parents are weak these days.
Forever kids still living with parents.
No ambition to do anything but sit in front of the computer or gaming console.
They flip out over minor things and all of them claim to have anxiety or some other made up mental disorder because it's fashionable to be the weak victim...
Etc etc Etc

@endlame saidThat would be depending on the parent and the kids situation. They don't all live at home, mine don't.
