Set Boundaries With your Children

I agree.

“I do think we’ve become a little boundary-less,” Sand says. “I don’t think it’s necessarily appropriate for children to be led into the intimate part of their parents’ relationship ever. Even if you have an open marriage, and you go out swinging, it’s not something you necessarily tell your children.”

  1. I think we all believe that someone out there is “a little boundary-less,” but I’m not sure that this is an actual fact.  I mean, no more than people were in the past.

  4. I completely agree. It is ok to show your love for one another but there should be boundaries. Nothing of the sexual/ sensual love.

  5. “I mean, no more than people were in the past.” Classic liberal response. No absolutes, everything is relative. It’s already happening so we just just ignore it.

  6. You’re right. It’s enough that your children know their parents love each other. But the more intimate part of the relationship should be exclusively yours.

  7. Classic liberal response.

    Yeah.  Thoughtful and well-considered.  Which beats what you have. 

    I just think there’s a popular myth out there today that “someone” is achieving great heights of permissiveness with their children and doing them and society great harm—I don’t think there really is any such epidemic, that the concern is vastly overblown.  Frankly, I think parenting today is probably better in many ways than it was 50 years ago.
