John Rosemond's June 7 column (http://www.rosemond.com/view/389/21753/Weekly-Column---6909.html) touched on two areas that ran true for me.
First he said "... the 50's, the last decade during which parents were completely comfortable with their authority." I have personally run across way to many parents that are afraid of their kids and don't know how to say NO.
His second quote is "... the issue is boundaries. Parenting is a form of leadership,..." Dads you are not your kids friends. That's not your job. You can be friends with you children when they are 26, have moved out of the house and are supporting themselves. Your job, as you kids are growing up, is to provide your children with rules boundaries and limitations.
