you're making a fool of yourself ...

Hardly. It's fairly simple. Socialists use a "non parenting" method. It works like this. "All kids will do bad things. We should allow them to do bad things and not judge them so we don't hurt their self esteem. There should be no consequences to their actions. No guilt, no shame, no retribution. This will breed happy children."
This is a crock. It is because these parents don't want their children disliking them. It is because they don't want to actually work at being parents. They think if they don't ever put any limits on their children and give into every whim, their children will love them forever. It doesn't work that way.
