Thank you so much everyone for sharing your experiences. I have to mute notifications now due to virality but I've done my best to read and hear all of you. I'm glad my message resonated with so many. and pretty much 90% of disagreement/exception was respectful.
Thanks, all.

Honestly I'm touched, sometimes i feel this place is all about fights but most got what I was saying and shared so much about the *why* I've said it. If you ever want to see a "reaffirming ratio" look at that thread.

I understand why parents feel scared and worried about the world and why it seems like intruding on their privacy is safe, but please read the responses and all of the hardship, hurt, and fractured relationships that were caused by such behavior.

I'm really meant what I said about trying to be a parent:
* forever
* that's trusted
* that might not agree but is confided in
* that is actually able to keep people safe by having their advice and guidance listen to
* that has influence on what your kids do

We do this by granting our children respect, privacy, and allowing them to explore their world (and make missteps) safely.
