My wife and I are fairly 'hands off' when it comes to our daughter. And it's paid off. She's a pretty good kid.
Some of her friends who have strict parents that try to impose their own beliefs on them are all messed up, on the other hand.
One of them has a dad and stepmom who are into all sorts of flaky neo-new-age paganism. She's very insecure and on a daily regime of drugs to regulate her mood. I just have to shake my head in disbelief...
