I always notice people reassessing their principles once they become parents, was it the case for you?

    Not mine, but my parents. They grew up in the 60’s and wanted to raise their children according to the principles of anti-authoritarian parenting.
    (Basically, treat the children as small adults whose opinions are as important as your own. Don’t use any type of force and don’t use your authority to make them do things)
    It was a big thing with politically left and green people in Germany)

    Well, my brother is on the autistic spectrum and needed a firm structure, so he screamed and screamed until they locked him in the basement because they literally didn’t know what else to do. He calmed down immediately and they changed their parenting style after that.
