punkmusicfan21 has got it.
My brother and I grew up in a very strict religious home.
I haven't messed up my life. I've had hard knocks and learned f
from them.
My brother on the other hand has been arrested more than once. Has hit his wife, and is doing poorly.
What you do with what life gives you is what makes the difference. I learned early on not to give up, and to work hard. It has gotten me where I am today. My brother was brought up differently. He was the baby and spoiled. He still acts spoiled.
I'm giving my daughter a lot of freedom I believe. I give her more freedom as I see that she is responsible with what I give her. I watch her closely for the first few times she does something new. When she's proven herself. I let her go on her own. She's only almost 4 even now - but I'm speaking with learning to ride without training wheels, going to a friends apt to play, doing more things on her own. I hope to keep doing the same as she grows older. Even now she has learned that she looses priveledges when she doesn't listen to important things I say. I don't usually butt either unless she's doing something dangerous or irresponsible.
It's all about balance. Freedom and bounderies. Love them and you'll be able to do your best.
