Do you frogmarch your adult children through life? Or, as your children grow and mature, do you gradually let them go?

If I had any say I would frogmarch them through life. Get the law degree. Marry that girl. Have this many kids. Live in this location.

Of course, I'm not omnipotent, omniscience, or omnipresent.

But is that out of love or some other prompting?

This only shows us that we all use the same words (i.e. love) and have different definitions of them. Who's to argue there is not "love" in an S&M couple? They are, after all, perfectly compatible! Some people think love is beating their children into obedience.

Perhaps the best way for them to learn not to touch hot stoves would be to actually entice them to touch red hot stove! After all, that's just a step shy of frogmarching them through a fire! In either case, the "postive" aspect of such "love" is that they'd never do it agian, right? Absurd; distorted; deformed.
