The style of 'yes' parenting seems to be a real thing. Bea Marshall seems to have made a media career out of it lately, since this is the third article I've read about her. 'Yes' parenting is simple, in theory, you just simply never say no to your children. If they want ice cream for breakfast, they get it. If they want to color with crayons on the walls, they are allowed to. The article
HERE calls it 'hippyish' parenting. I am sick of hippies being blamed for everything from 'yes' parenting to ridiculous Coachella outfits. All of us hippy's are old are dead now and the new interpretations of us are absurd. We were individuals, not sheep. Someone needs to learn some history. Putting that irritation aside, when you adopt a parenting style, you have to ask, what is the eventual outcome, the goal? Bea Marshall's seems to be to raise boys who are selfish and spoiled.And yes, it is dangerous as well as obnoxious.
What a cunty idea this 'yes' parenting is. "Mom, I am going to stick this butter knife in the light socket and see what happens.'' Why, yes, junior, that would be educational! (Fucking idiots, the lot of them.)

Shithead parents. If people said no to their kids a bit more, maybe the world would be a better place. Around here, it's the 'unschoolers' that piss me off.
Don't worry! She will be the one paying for that decision, for the rest of her life.
To me, no one has any business writing or lecturing on how to parent - unless and until their kids
have reached adulthood and are leading happy,fulfilling, independent, giving lives. This chickie's kids are a long way from that. Maybe the Brit's have a different idea of what a hippie lifestyle was. If something is not conventional - the words hippie and bohemian - are very over used.
Yes parenting is the craziest thing I have ever heard. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when her preciouses get there first resounding no. It would be worth a chortle. These parents are so dumb. It's cute until they get into middle school and their preciouses start failing and the parents say that they don't know what to do and that little precious wasn't like that in elementary.
Although, I'm sure this mom homeschools her children, so they don't ever have to be disappointed ever, because bitter disappointments aren't a part of adult life.
I guess I raised mine just the opposite. I believe in "NO" parenting. I have 3 well adjusted successful kids who I'm very proud of. :) None of them ever gave me an ounce of trouble.
Her kids are in for a rude awakening when they get out in the real world.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought yes parenting is stupid. Connie, hell yeah, raise yer damn kids before you tell me how to do it.
I knew some "YES" parents. When their son was a teenager the mother confided in me that she feared he would stab her and kill her in her sleep. So, she took to sleeping with some kind of weapon. Yep. That's what happens to those kids. They intimidate & bully people, even their own parents and family, they can and do become killers. Look at the 2 Menendez boys. Perfect example. Kids need direction. A car needs a driver. A car let loose to run around on its own power, w/o a driver, will end up wrecked and probably kill some people in the process. She sounds like a lazy ass parent to me. Suuuure, they are cute and little right now. Have fun when Karma comes back in about 5 years and you have to get a restarining order agaist your own kids. She's full of shit. And lazy. I bet she doesn't even send them to school, either. So, no homework. Homeschooling is also a lazy parents way of not dealing with getting kids up and going in the morning. It's gonna come back and bite her face off soon. She's a fool. They will die or be in jail at a young age.
She's just another moron, trying to be her kid's best friend. It's easier to say yes to everything, and never have to face your children's momentary disappointment when they don't automatically get their way. I don't imagine these kids are very much fun for other kids to play with, either. Everything probably has to be their way, or they don't know how to respond because they have always gotten their way. Isn't that sort-of a scientology thing? I seem to remember that Suri was raised making all her own decisions, and never being told no, until her parents separated.

Oh, and yes, my son is an adult, and he was parented the old-fashioned way. He did not go to college, but plans on starting that soon, he tells me. He has been employed by the same company, in different capacities as he gets promoted, for going on 6 years. They love him, and I have been in that store when the manager has announced his name overhead, with the great comments customers and co-workers have made about him.

Kids that never get a spanking always turn out badly. Thats just a bad idea, period. I HATE how spanking a child can now get you arrested. That's BS! Spank them now or bail them out of jail later. Take your pick.
