I'm amused by the idea of paternalism in parenting. We've really gone full circle.

Pleased to hear, but could you explain why/how?

This is unusually upvoted for a discussion post with so few comments.

Just by the etymology of "paternalism" being applied to its original source - parents acting like parents.
