    Not really, my parents would’ve crucified me for this lol

    I think it is correct to let a child do something like this in their own space, but I’m not a parent lol

    And like I said, my parents who, if you can believe this, are parents, would’ve killed me.

      I think it’s a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what’s effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn’t actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.
