Strict parenting breeds drones. Our school system does this well enough. This world has been stuck in a rut for far too long. We suffer and most of us don't even realize it. We need kids who aren't afraid to speak their mind, who aren't afraid to make mistakes, who will not blindly follow orders given by their elders. My generation began this trend in startling numbers and it must continue, or we're doomed to never evolve again. Remember this, just because your parents have been alive a quarter century longer than you, or even more, does not mean they know better. Their generation was parented by fear, and it's not right. It will never be right.
Just my opinion. If our children are too scared to change the ways of their parents, we doom ourselves to this way of life, for all time.
Edit @ Above: They may be trying to do whats best for you. That doesn't make it right. There are less brutal ways to teach your kids what they need to know. Remember that when you become a parent.
