    is more important than selfish desire to be her friend

    I think you’re probably having too many assumptions about what people are saying, which betrays an inflexibility even stubbornness.

    Worrying about approval is something weak people do, and weak people make poor parents.

    “My way or the highway”, eh? That style of parenting went out of fashion for a reason.

      I didnt say my way or the highway or even imply that. Just saying you gotta have strength of conviction. I make concessions and compromise all the time. I dont yell or bully my kid, but i stand firm when she acts out. Now who is making assumptions about whom?
