What is the ideal relationship between parents and children? This relationship should be more severe, parents imposing their terms automatically, or should it be a friendship? In the latter case, if the child benefit from parents' indulgence and do something stupid? I know that the situation varies from case to case, but I speak in general. My husband and I get ready to be parents again, we want to adopt for the first time, and therefore we want more opinions. So, what do you think?

Since this question has appeared simultaneously in other online discussion groups, "what I think" is that green1706 is collecting data for a sociology research paper. Nevertheless, it is an interesting topic and I encourage it, but with a bit of skepticism.

Pasrents should not be friends, buddies, pals with their kids aged 0-18 like parents are friends with their adult friends. After 18, be pals, friends, buddies, with your adult kids. Of course, parents should establish trust and have a good open relationship with young kids under 18 and give kids the feeling that they can go to their parents for help,support,and advice. Parents need to butt in their kids lives. Know what is going on.
Parent need to parent. Raise their kids.
