Any grown up who tries to be best friends with a child is acting like a child. You have a 30 something child raising a true child.

The adults are not treating the kids as adults in all respects. No adult would be allowed to carry on as some of these children are allowed to carry on. The adults are ignoring the children’s behavior hoping that the children will teach themselves or learn from other children.

I also hate the best friend routine. I do not use it for my parents, spouse, siblings, or boss. I tell my wife you need a husband not a friend, my kids need a father not a friend, etc.

“I tell my wife you need a husband not a friend,”

Wow. Must suck to be your wife.

You, sir, are a stellar example of a saner age. Such common sense is derided in today's PC, 'equality'-bound world. That's why your view is so refreshing.
