Do you or did you have permissive parents?

Did it work out well or not? I read some kids end up resenting their parents for not giving them more boundaries and rules.

I didn't have permissive parents. I had [i]supportive[/i] parents. I had boundaries and rules and they could be a bit overprotective sometimes. But they supported what I wanted to do and supported who I am (I'm gay and they had no problem when I came out).

Yeah, my single overworked dad was busy with work until evening so I could do whatever I wanted really. I think he did well 😊

I lived in the middle of nowhere with literally no neighbors though, so I couldn't really unleash much hell other than running around in the woods or mountains in my pajamas

@NorthernRoses how do you think that would have worked out if you lived in town and had a busy social life?

@morrgin It's hard to say! I [i]want[/i] to say that it'd probably still be fine because I'm pretty careful by nature, but then again I'm probably careful by nature because I often lowkey raised myself, so...

I think you need [i]certain[/i] boundaries and rules, as long as you also have a certain level of support and understanding of[i] why[/i] when someone breaks those rules.

I only had a crazy mother who didn't care what I did or where I was. I signed my own report card for years. It had a major negative impact on my life. All kids need structure

Yes, structured yet permissive, if that makes sense. They were cool hippies.

@FreeSpirit1 structured sounds good. Everyone knows what to expect.

No. It was a lot of back and forth between neglect and screaming at us for everything we did. 🤷🏻‍♀️
