In general, most parents are not like you. Parents that are "lazy", they are the ones who ruined and put a bad name for you. Unfortunately, you're in a small population. The lazy parents we're referring belong in the larger population where we DO see them more often.

To say by allowing a child to sleep in the same bed with the parents is a bad behavior isn't wrong either. It is a start of other bad behaviors IF you let it continue and expand into other areas of their lives. I mean, every child (and myself, I remember) will have bad behaviors. That's why people are not perfect. But, if a good parent, like yourself, can and able to correct and minimize those bad behaviors, you're doing a good job.

I hope you're not offended by what people are saying. It's just we all have seen too many bad parenting out there.

well said.
