I just don't understand why she doesn't understand everyone has different reasoning behing their parenting ways.

I would assume that in her part, she would be justifying her own opinion. It makes it so much easier to condemn others who have a differing opinion to our own.

Dianne, I understand where you are coming from (well from what I have seen in your posts anyhow!) We dont have alcohol in our home, and DH and I are both on the path that we will not let our children drink before the legal age.

But as PZ has already said, each home is different and that should be respected to.

As parents we all try to make the best decisions for our own families and we shouldnt use our judgements to condemn another family because they do things differently to us.
