And I would add onto what you said, jmulf, that the average mom of today also wants her kids to like her so badly that she won't dare discipline them or keep them safe from things that they desire, but she knows will be harmful for them .... they ask you for advice, and when you give them biblical wisdom for parents, even many Christian ( "bible-believing" women) whine, "But then h/she will hate me!" Oh, well! sounds like your mom was a great mom and is a great grandmom!

Also, what a great contrast to the average mom of today who studies and observes her child's behavior, but dares not get in the way too much for fear of damaging her child's personality, orientation, or self-esteem! :) Dana,
