Parenting

Why do parents these days think they need to be their child's best friend? If you have children who are not adults, you are a PARENT and not a friend. I have seen it happen to many times where the parent wants the child to be happy and not mad at them so they do whatever the child wants. If you are a parent, be a parent. Do what is in the best interest for your child even if it means that your child is mad at you. There will be plenty of time when your child is an adult to be there friend, now is not the time to do it.
