| ek I am with you. My MIL has given me a scenario to play in my head when making parental decisions. "If you give in to your child's desire to _______ and it goes south and you are a) in court b) in front of the news cameras or c) at the hospital or morgue: how is your story, as the parent, going to sound? It has been my guiding principal.
"She wanted to and the popular kids were doing it." is ridiculous. I am no prude either but there is a difference between overprotection and common sense. My MIL's advice helps me figure it out. |
