There has been at least one other thread like this here, and my position remains the same: Reality. Fantasy. They are two different things. Those who get them confused will have problems. Children will eventually grow up and have to make their own decisions. Parents who prevent that are asking for trouble, and will either receive it or raise a brood that is content to live off their table scraps.

I would like to think that by the time my kids get to be 12-14 years old, they will be able to understand these kinds of things, rationalize them, and ask me for input as needed. I don't expect to make up their minds for them... By the time they're 18, I want them able to leave the nest and live on their own.
