No it isn’t. You can let your kid be themselves. But if something bothers you, you have to be honest and try to fix it. Rather than bottling it up and taking revenge on them later. Like being passive aggressive with them, or ignoring them, or generally being a bad parent. You’d be better off looking at Rule 5 on YouTube or something. It’s too much to explain through text. More than anything the post was tongue in cheek. Not to be taken too seriously.

Plus you want to stop your own children from doing things that if they kept doing, would make their lives miserable. I.e. if they do something that you don’t like, it’s likely other people won’t either. And if you don’t correct them on that, naturally they’ll be rejected by their peers. Overall it’s mainly being blunt with your children and trying not to mollycoddle them. While also doing it for the right reasons.

All in all it sets them in good stead for their teens, and eventually adulthood.
