I'm no parent, but I do live with a child and his parents 24/7.

I was also a child once, believe it or not, and even lived with some. But unlike other children, my mind developed at a radically accelerated rate so at the age of 5 I was comprehending things most preteens didn't understand.

So maybe I have a skewed view.

This is why I pointed out only one person can make the decision because there are always variables to any scenario and no one person has all the answers even if they think they are right because they have special abilites decorations privileges or responsibilites. :rolleyes:
