when we were talking about parenting adolescents in class on thursday I kept think how well my parents raised both me and my sister. They were able to give us the space we need to grow up, but always had an idea of what was going on in our lives and had control over the parts that were nessisary. I do agree that parents get easier on the youngest then the oldest. my sister is two years older than me and I was able to get away with a lot more things then she was at my same age. I was always able to push the boundaries of curfew more then she was able to. this could also be because my older sister always had a boyfriend and I never dated in highschool
