Wow. That Lord of the Flies thread is spot on. Why a generation of adults decided to bow to the whims of children is beyond me. It's not helpful for anyone, much in the way that giving a crying toddler cookies for dinner and saying they don't need to brush their teeth is ultimately a losing strategy.

It's amazing right?! Not just bowing to their whims, but pretty much allowing them to raise themselves. The idea that a five-year-old might not be competent to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives is sacrilege in certain circles now.
