I don't see how you get from playing Minecraft in the morning to her letting her son do "everything he wants". You're assuming that playing Minecraft is frivolous or negative or that shouldn't be allowed in the morning, much less encouraged. And you have little information on what other activities she has encouraged, permitted, or forbidden.
It's tempting to pass judgment on other people's parenting. This temptation should be resisted.
- corin_ 12y agoIf there's ever a time it's OK to judge someone's parenting techniques, it's when they write an article like this - that's practically asking to be commented on. And while you're right that it doesn't give a full picture, I suspect blkhp19 is right based on the entire premise of "it's not his fault" in the article.
