When I have asked these punk ass parents why they opt for this style of parenting, despite being risen more rigid, the answers are the same. Their own parents were "too hard" on them.

unless you have kids i think you have little room to talk. the kids raised in the 60's had it easier than the kids raised in the 30's. just as the kids in the 30's had it easier than the kids raised at the turn of the century, just as they had it easier than the kids who grew up in the caveman days,..
