They only talked about over protective and permissive... I think structured, fairly strict (not abusive) parenting usually produces normal productive adults that are more satisfied with life; not living happily ever after like a fairy tale- but generally happy. Of course I believe faith in God will help tremendously every step of the way.
If you are raised to expect others to make you happy you will be miserable.
If you are raised to believe life is fair you will be miserable.
If you are raised to believe life will be easy you will be miserable.
If you are raised to believe you are not responsible for your actions you will be miserable.
If you are raised to believe you don’t have to work hard and be an honest productive self reliant person you will be miserable.
Just based on my own experiences.
Ummm, it’s The Onion...
Can’t see a thing wrong with those observations.
Dad was often to say to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. He also said, always happy but never satisfied. It kept us all reaching for the stars as he said it.
