I know, most - OK let's say all of the ladies who have posted here in this thread are well educated and understanding towards their children. But I am here for a different reason. Another poster wrote here something about peer pressure, so that is my actual concern.
Because you people (because you are mostly ladies) probably see peer pressure only in the form of a group of kids pushing each other into doing stuff you would normally frown upon. Where as I (who too was once a child), see peer pressure in the shape of a group of women, pushing each other into how to get an even tighter control over their kids...
Actually no. I was talking about more subtle forms of pressure, where kids just feel left out of discussions simply because they don't know the latest tv shows or video games, etc. I'm not envisioning a bullying mob. Most kids aren't like that.
Neither are most moms.
