Seriously, some anti-authoritarian, non-helicopter parents are giving me more headaches. The other day, a friend of my daughter actually climbed over a flowerpot, onto a wall, onto the pool. I got her down and was a bit stern. Not loud or a rant, just enough for the kid to realize, attention. Her mother just said, "She knows she can't swim and watches out for herself. She's allowed to do that." HUH???
